Press Statement, 9 April 2013 Arul – The best candidate to fight against BN in Semenyih

s-arulchelvan

Malaysia Youth and Democratic Movement (DEMA) strongly support Arul from PSM to contest in Semenyih in this coming 13th General election.

Arul is credible, clean, served the area that he will be contesting for more than 10 years as activists, handled cases ranging from welfare to housing and land matters.Although Arul lost in the last election, he continue to serve the constituents by maintaining a service centre. His effort was earned him huge support. He was proved to be ‘winnable’ candidates.

Provided with the fact that Arul is still currenly negotiating with Pakatan Rakyat (PR) high committee regarding this seats, DEMA would humbly request PR  to allow PSM to contest in a straight fight with BN. Since PSM had already agreed to support PR to capture Putrajaya in this coming General election.

In the 2008, PSM contested under the PKR banner as at that time it was not a registered party. After 2008, it has been registered. Therefore, it is justifiable why Arul should be using their own party logo to contest in this coming election. Moreover, PR does not have any candidates to match the track record of Arul in Semenyih. Based on merits, Arul is the best candidates to fight against BN.

With all due respect, DEMA really hope that PR will consider our demand seriously and allow Arul to fight with BN with the blessing from PR.

Yours Sincerely,

Malaysia Youth and Democratic Movement (DEMA)

黄思敏——坚强的意志(内附黄思敏的感人文章)

最近晚上我迟睡也要把年轻人的奋斗故事写出来,因为小小故事往往对正面对船只颠簸于海涛飓风之中的航海者而言,有着彼此鼓励的作用。
话从头说起,第一次遇见黄思敏,是在2004年大学迎新周的第一天。
还记得每年新生入学时,博大华文学会(博华,前称博大华裔生协会)都会于富都车站拉布条和举大字报来迎接新生。没想到2004年的那一年,博华的迎接新生活动只迎接到一个人。可见随着时代的改变,人人都好像很富裕似的,大学新生都有本身的交通工具前往大学报到,唯独这位青年——黄思敏独自一人从吉打双溪大年乘搭巴士来到富都车站,非常简朴。就这样,黄思敏大专生涯的第一天被我们迎接了,而成功迎接黄思敏的人就是后来成为第十六届博华主席的江伟俊。(如果年份日期我没记错的话)而黄思敏就是后来叱咤博大校园的学运领袖!
很自然的,我们这些活跃分子通常都参加至少两个组织。黄思敏后来先后担任了前进外务协调员、博营副主席、博华外务副主席以及学运组织秘书。
大学里,多数学生求学时只是专注念书,当然主修学业副修活动的也不少,但是主修活动副修学业的人就寥寥可数,黄思敏就是其中一个。别以为主修活动副修学业就不是好料,其实恰恰相反。思敏的活动主修学生运动和社会运动,这不是好料的话是什么呀?这正好显示他心怀大爱,是一个具有社会理想的青年啊! Read more of this post

为黄诗情写的小故事——一步一脚印!(内附黄诗情文章)

黄诗情,是我大学的学妹(其实她大我半个月啊),也是我大学的战友。现在她也是我认为可靠的政党界战友。
从大一认识她到现在,我都很佩服她的那股傻劲,就如她在背包旅行中的那种义无反顾勇往直前的精神——就算前途未明,也依然走下去。她就曾在写给学弟妹的文章中自嘲:“这条路从来都不平坦的。家人从担心、劝阻,到认同我的追求,相信我在出席集会时会懂得保护自己;身边的朋友由疏离,戏虐地称我为“反对党、反清复明”,到主动问我如何登记成为选民,一路走来,沉默且朴实的理念终于逐渐获得认同。”
是的,她就是那么一个勇敢的学妹兼战友。当新生进入大学时,我们这些学长总会物色新血或未来接班人。当其他组织不看重她时,我却敢敢拉她来博大前进阵线。因为我觉得,当时人人排斥我们,见我们如见鬼时,她竟毫不抗拒我们这些被人称为反对党的“极端分子”,还敢来我们活动。这不是勇,叫什么?要不然就是单纯兼淳朴咯!再不然就是好奇心重。无论是勇敢还是淳朴或是好奇心,我认为这些都是成为学运分子或社运分子的重要基本元素。
