“Setuju!”: The 817 elected village chiefs in Perak unanimously endorsing a six-point action plan - Photo by Kinta Kid
Zambry’s - and the BN’s problems - are multiplying as the Perak crisis deepens.
All 817 elected village chiefs in Perak have come together to take legal action over their dismissals without notice by the Perak BN and the dissolution of their village JKKK committees, which resulted in the termination of services of over 8,000 committee members. They also plan to lodge police reports against the Perak BN.
These village chiefs had been elected and they received appointment letters from the Pakatan state government to serve from 1 August 2008 to 31 July 2010.
They attended a meeting at a community hall in Jelapang on 30 April where they were also addressed by Nizar. Kinta Kid has the full story with more photos here.
The following is their six-point action plan:
Bersetuju membentuk jawatankuasa bertindak ketua-ketua kampung seluruh Perak bagi menggerakkan kempen menentang pemecatan ketua kampung oleh kerajaan Barisan Nasional negeri Perak,
Bersetuju dan bersepakat akan menyerahkan memorandum kepada kerajaan BN menuntut mengekalkan ketua-ketua kampung dan mengekalkan JKKK sehingga tempoh perkhidmatan tamat,
Bersetuju dan bersepakat akan mengambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap pemecatan ketua-ketua kampung and pembubaran JKKK.
Bersetuju dan bersepakat seluruh ketua-ketua kampung dan JKKK meneruskan perkhidmatan kepada rakyat walaupun tidak diiktiraf oleh kerajaan BN,
Bersetuju dan bersepakat untuk membuat laporan polis terhadap kerajaan BN yang menamatkan perkhidmatan ketua-ketua kampung dan membubarkan JKKK sebelum tempoh perkhidamatan tamat,
Bersepakat menuntut supaya kemelut dan krisis politik negeri Perak diselesaikan melalui pembubaran DUN bagi membolehkan rakyat memilih semula kerajaan baru negeri Perak.
The BN, for its part, wants village administration to be carried out by the JKKKP, which is the federal government’s equivalent of the JKKK.
Perak was the first state to introduce elections for village chiefs, the ousted Perak state exco member for local government Nga Kor Ming was reported as saying.
Meanwhile, the other state governments in Malaysia should ask themselves why they have not introduced village-level elections in their respective states. Once democracy is instutionalised at all levels, it becomes much harder for an authoritarian leader to roll back democratic advances.
