An Open Letter for the Prime Minister and Pakatan Rakyat's consideration:

This letter details the processes necessary to achieve a Free and Fair Electoral System. It challenges both the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader to rise above politics to co-operate for the people's benefit and welfare.

Time is very tight and a decision is needed from both sides by 8th Jan 2013.

If it is accepted and the programme adhered to, we can have the system in place for Free and Fair Elections if Parliament is dissolved on 28th Apr 2013.

The detailed proposals were submitted to the Prime Minister's Office via email on 21st Dec 2012 and hand-delivered on 27th Dec 2012. See attached "MERP Proposal to PM and Opposition Leader_201212".

6 key actions (marked *) can be adopted and implemented immediately without need for new legislation.

Goal no:
1. Replace current EC with Independent 
2. Adopt UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Minority & Indigenous People’s Rights, and incorporate into domestic law
7. Clean Electoral Roll
8. Campaign Period 28 days
12. UN-Managed Elections
17. Candidates are bound by Election Promises 
(Model Code of Conduct MCC for Elections is shown here - http://bit.ly/Z9lYlq)

The objective of this exercise is to bring the focus back to Free and Fair Elections.

Our objective is to ask the people to support the party or coalition that supports free and fair elections. If BN accepts, they have to implement by 21st Apr 2013. If PR accepts and wins the GE, they are given an extra year and have to implement by 21st Apr 2014.

YAB Dato' Sri Najib, you have an historic opportunity to transform the our electoral system and prepare the nation for a 2-Party System. Please do not disappoint us.
