Ten Fundamental Demands and Aspirations of the Voters of Repah in the Repah by-election


Speech - Repah by-election
by Lim Kit Siang

(Petaling Jaya, Sunday): In the Teluk Intan by-election on May 17, the voters of Teluk Intan "wrote history and created miracle" by turning around 16,884 votes in a matter of two years to elect M. Kulasegaran as Member of Parliament with a 2,916-vote majority not out of sympathy for the DAP or Kulasegaran, but to enunciate on behalf of all Malaysians the Teluk Intan 20-Points on their vision of a fair and just Malaysian society.

Similarly, the Repah by-election on May 29 is not about sympathy for the DAP or the DAP candidate, Wong Yauk but about the fundamental rights of the people in Repah, in Negri Sembilan and in Malaysia.

Like the Teluk Intan by-election, the voters of Repah should make full use of the Repah by-election to articulate their fundamental demands and aspirations on behalf of all Malaysians.

For a start, the voters of Repah should outline Ten Fundamental Demands and Aspirations on behalf of the people of Negri Sembilan and Malaysia, as follows:
