Message from Chairman and President of MCLM

Dear Friends,

There have been rumors and misinformation circulating on the Internet and mainstream media about the Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement. These may have caused some doubt or confusion. Rest assured that MCLM remains committed to bringing about a just and equitable society for all Malaysians.

Ultimately, the MCLM is all about People Power - the Barisan Rakyat Independent Candidates (BRICs) and the Third Force are clear examples of this. There is no room for personality cults in the movement. As Chairman and President, we are here to serve the cause for as long as we are needed. But your contribution and support are no less important because we are all Malaysians and we are all in this together.

We will be writing to you periodically to keep you up to date about what's been happening not just on the MCLM front but also important issues that are at the forefront of our national consciousness as well as actions you can take.

With the 13th General Elections imminent, we have entered a critical phase. There is so much we can do to raise awareness of the key issues to ensure that every voter is armed with the key information so that he or she can make an informed choice at the ballot box.

In the meantime, we would urge you to stay in communication via our Facebook page or Twitter. We want to know what your concerns are for Malaysia and, more importantly, what you can do to forward the cause of the Rakyat.

Thank you for being a part of the MCLM. These are uncertain yet challenging times for all of us. Malaysia needs to change in order to become the nation envisioned by our founding fathers. It is up to us - the Rakyat - to make these changes happen.

Warmest regards,

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Saudara-saudari sekalian,

Desas-desus dan informasi yang salah sedang berlegar di ruang siber serta media arus perdana mengenai Pergerakan Kebebasan Sivil Malaysia atau Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM). Ini mungkin telah menimbulkan beberapa keraguan atau kekeliruan. Yakinilah bahawa MCLM kekal komited membawa keadilan dan kesaksamaan untuk semua lapisan masyarakat di Malaysia.

Pada akhirnya, MCLM adalah mengenai Kuasa Rakyat – Calon Bebas Barisan Rakyat atau Barisan Rakyat Independent Candidates (BRICs) dan Kuasa Ketiga atau Third Force adalah contoh yang jelas mengenai hal ini. Tidak ada ruang untuk pemujaan keperibadian dalam gerakan ini. Sebagai Pengerusi dan Presiden, kami di sini untuk berkhidmat pada perjuangan selama mana kami diperlukan. Tapi sumbangan dan sokongan anda tidak kurang pentingnya kerana kita semua adalah Rakyat Malaysia dan kita bersama dalam misi ini.

Kami akan berterusan menghubungi anda untuk memberi informasi terkini bukan hanya mengenai perjalanan MCLM tetapi juga isu-isu nasional yang lebih utama serta tindakan yang boleh anda ambil.

Setelah hampirnya Pilihanraya Umum ke-13, kini kita telah memasuki fasa yang kritikal. Ada begitu banyak perkara yang dapat kita lakukan untuk meningkatkan kesedaran terhadap isu-isu penting supaya setiap pengundi dibekalkan dengan maklumat yang diperlukan dan seterusnya membuat suatu pilihan yang tepat di peti undi.

Buat sementara waktu, anda boleh terus berkomunikasi melalui laman Facebook serta Twitter kami. Kami ingin tahu apakah kebimbangan anda mengenai Negara kita Malaysia dan yang paling penting apakah yang boleh anda lakukan demi perjuangan Rakyat.

Salam sejahtera,

Raja Petra Kamarudin
