Geraksikh Calls On All M'sians To Work Together To Ensure Harmony
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 (Bernama) -- All Malaysians, not only politicians and community leaders, must work together to help the Government ensure racial unity in the country, said Malaysia National Sikhs Movement (GERAKSIKH) president Tan Sri Darshan Singh Gill.
Supporting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's call yesterday to politicians and community leaders to pay serious attention to issues pertaining to religious and racial tolerance, Darshan said racial unity was of utmost importance as it is the foundation of peace and stability in the country.
"As such, all Malaysians, including those helming non-governmental organisations (NGOs), must play their part in ensuring contentious and sensitive issues based on religion are not raised," he said in statement here Sunday.
He said that raising such issues would only jeopardise the Government's efforts to make Malaysia a truly great nation.
He added that the country had progressed tremendously under the Barisan Nasional (BN) and the current leadership of Abdullah.
The country's development would not have been possible without national unity and the power sharing policies among the various races in Malaysia as practised by the BN, he said, adding that there is enough space in Malaysia for everyone to progress provided one was willing to work hard.
Abdullah, when opening the 36th Gerakan delegates conference here yesterday, called on politicians and community leaders to face up to racial and religious issues in a serious and honest manner.
He said Malaysia could truly become a strong, competitive country if the people were united with one heart. -- BERNAMA
GerakSikh drive facing apathy
PETALING JAYA 7 Okt: From big towns to orang asli settlements – the Malaysia Sikhs Movement (GerakSikh) has been going around the country getting Malaysians to register as voters but, sometimes, the going has been tough.
"Apathy seems to our biggest enemy. When our members encourage people to register, some ask 'what for?'
"Our members patiently explain that this is the basic first step in a democratic society and that the freedom to vote means we decide which government we want," said GerakSikh president Tan Sri Darshan Singh Gill.
The movement started the registration exercise on March 31 with the support of the Election Commission.
GerakSikh wanted to help enlarge the voter base after it realised that many of the eligible 15 million Malaysians had yet to register
At the end of March, registered voters stood at 10.2 million.
The commission gazetted an additional 250,000 voters for the April to June period.
The movement has organised voter registration exercises in different states, even at an orang asli camp in Jelutoh, Perak.
GerakSikh now intends to register undergraduates and will work with universities to get suitable dates for the commission to set up booths in campuses.
GerakSikh was not interested in getting involved in politics, stressed Darshan Singh. - STAR
