Bers√h 8 Demands 净选盟8大诉求



1. Clean the electoral roll(清理选民册)

The electoral roll is marred with irregularities such as deceased persons and multiple persons registered under a single address or non-existent addresses. The electoral roll must be revised and updated to wipe out these ‘phantom voters’. The rakyat have a right to an electoral roll that is an accurate reflection of the voting population.

In the longer term, BERSIH 2.0 also calls for the EC to implement an automated voter registration system upon eligibility to reduce irregularities.

2. Reform postal ballot(改革邮寄选票制度)

The current postal ballot system must be reformed to ensure that all citizens of Malaysia are able to exercise their right to vote. Postal ballot should not only be open for all Malaysian citizens living abroad, but also for those within the country who cannot be physically present in their voting constituency on polling day. Police, military and civil servants too must vote normally like other voters if not on duty on polling day.

The postal ballot system must be transparent. Party agents should be allowed to monitor the entire process of postal voting.

3. Use of indelible ink(在选举时使用不退色墨汁)

Indelible ink must be used in all elections. It is a simple, affordable and effective solution in preventing voter fraud. In 2007, the EC decided to implement the use of indelible ink. However, in the final days leading up to the 12th General Elections, the EC decided to withdraw the use of indelible ink citing legal reasons and rumours of sabotage.

BERSIH 2.0 demands for indelible ink to be used for all the upcoming elections. Failure to do so will lead to the inevitable conclusion that there is an intention to allow voter fraud.

4. Minimum 21 days campaign period(制定最少21天的竞选期)

The EC should stipulate a campaign period of not less than 21 days. A longer campaign period would allow voters more time to gather information and deliberate on their choices. It will also allow candidates more time to disseminate information to rural areas. The first national elections in 1955 under the British Colonial Government had a campaign period of 42 days but the campaign period for 12th GE in 2008 was a mere 8 days.

5. Free and fair access to media(让参选政党公平接触媒体)

It is no secret that the Malaysian mainstream media fails to practice proportionate, fair and objective reporting for political parties of all divide. BERSIH 2.0 calls on the EC to press for all media agencies, especially state-funded media agencies such as Radio and Television Malaysia (RTM) and Bernama to allocate proportionate and objective coverage for all potlical parties.

6. Strengthen public institutions(强化选举机构体制)

Public institutions must act independently and impartially in upholding the rule of law and democracy. Public institutions such as the Judiciary, Attorney-General, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC), Police and the EC must be reformed to act independently, uphold laws and protect human rights.

In particular, the EC must perform its constitutional duty to act independently and impartially so as to enjoy public confidence. The EC cannot continue to claim that they have no power to act, as the law provides for sufficient powers to institute a credible electoral system.

7. Stop corruption(杜绝贿选)

Corruption is a disease that has infected every aspect of Malaysian life. BERSIH 2.0 and the rakyat demand for an end to all forms of corruption. Current efforts to eradicate corruption are mere tokens to appease public grouses. We demand that serious action is taken against ALL allegations of corruption, including vote buying.

8. Stop dirty politics(杜绝肮脏政治手段)

Malaysians are tired of dirty politics that has been the main feature of the Malaysian political arena. We demand for all political parties and politicians to put an end to gutter politics. As citizens and voters, we are not interested in gutter politics; we are interested in policies that affect the nation.

Remember to bring along your ID for these clubs. It depends, however, some clubs don’t check for your age or ID.

But for the most part, as long as you dressed smart & casual, they will let you in. Normally the clubbers in Malaysia t-shirts, long sleeves, a pair of jeans, short skirts, and high heels.

Clubwear Tips & Guide For Clubbers
Club wear tips for women :  There are countless styles of night club wear. With so many choices, it can often be difficult to know what style works best for you. When purchasing an outfit to wear out, please consider these selection guidelines:

Most night clubs enforce a minimal dress code. It’s important that you are aware of a specific club’s dress policy before selecting the outfit you are going to wear. When it comes to club wear,  it's not always what you wear. It's how you wear it. Choose clothing  that allows you to radiate confidence. Consider the type of club you are planning on choosing. The atmosphere of the club itself will often dictate your club-wear decisions.

Select night club clothing colors that reflect your personality and goals. Choosing bright colors in a dark club will be sure to get you noticed. If blending in with the rest of the crowd is more your style, then consider purchasing club wear with solid prints and darker tones. Ladies, if nightclubs are a regular stop over your weekends, you'll need to put together a wardrobe complete with the range of women’s clubwear. jeans and a t-shirt just won't cut it. Most nightclubs enforce a dress code. And if there's one important rule, it's that you've got to dress to impress.

If  your evening includes stopping at an uptown dance bar, you might want to consider choosing a classy club wear dress. Dressing sharp not only guarantee you access to the hard-to-get-in venue, but will draw the  right kind of attention – making you look and feel great. If your night  on the town includes some dancing, you need to have the night club  clothes that will give you freedom of movement, but still make you look  fantastic. Consider wearing a skirt or something shiny. The always popular retro fashions, as well as club wear looks that show off your midriff are also popular choices.

Clubwear clothes and clubbing outfits
A clubbing clothes / clubbing outfits guide on what to wear when go for clubs & party

Jewelry - A party necklace makes a great accessory
Sexy Tops - tank tops / halter tops
Sexy Dress - mini skirt / sexy short skirt / clubbing skirt / tight skirt / sexy pants

Men's club wear suggestion : For men, the choices are simpler. Men don't have the same selection  to choose from, but a little imagination can get heads turning. For a safe bet match a sheer, weaved or basic cotton collared shirt with  pants. Or, if you’re up to it, try something more fitting. Stripes work, and if you're going for patterns, the bolder the better when it comes to night club wear.

Bottom - khakis / jeans
Top - collared shirt with buttons
Accessories - cologne
Shoes - black or brown dress shoes

How To Flash A Custom ROM To Your Android Phone With ROM Manager + Full Backup & Restore

Have you been hearing about all this custom ROM business - Cyanogen, DamageControl, etc and wondering what in the world all those are about?
Or perhaps you already know what those are but are still afraid of trying custom ROMs on your phone because you don't know how to install them or don't want to lose your data and current OS state?
Well, today is your lucky day because in this article from the "I wish somebody showed me how to do this crap when I was getting started" series, I will show you how to
  • easily install a custom ROM but only after you
  • back up your current system and exact phone state so that you can
  • restore to that exact state with a click of a button
What do you have to lose now? Try out a new ROM and go back to your original OS in a matter of 30 minutes.
Sounds like a good deal? Then let's go.
Note: By the way, having written this tutorial, I know it may seem like there is a lot to do here, scaring you away, but in reality there really isn't - I was simply trying to provide as much detail and be as clear as possible, covering all the bases.
I am using an Sprint HTC Hero (CDMA) in this tutorial and in fact this is exactlyhow I got Android 2.1 on it using the DamageControl ROM, weeks before it was released by Sprint (in fact, it's not even released yet at the time of this writing).
The specific phone used is not important and I listed it just for reference - ROM Manager should work with pretty much every Android phone. 

Custom ROMs

At first I started an explanation of custom ROMs here, but it quickly outgrew itself and demanded to be in a separate post. Who am I to argue with the creative genius?
Proceed to read the Custom ROMs For Android Explained And Why You Want Them article and then come back here - I'll be waiting.
By the way, if you are wondering, you will most likely have to wipe when upgrading to a custom ROM (of course, we'll do a full backup first) but once you've installed it, any regular updates are usually applied right over the current version and don't require any wipes.
Remember, all your Google contacts sit in the cloud and will be sync'ed right back as soon as you boot the new ROM and log into Google. 

The Steps

Here are the steps, at a glance. Look the list over and move on to the more detailed explanation of each bullet point.
  1. Root Your Phone
  2. Install ROM Manager App
  3. Back Up
  4. Download The ROM You Want To Try
  5. Flash It
  6. Want To Go Back? Restore It 

1. Root Your Phone

The first thing you need to do is root your phone. Don't be afraid - we already covered this in the Rooting Explained + Top 5 Benefits Of Rooting Your Phone article a few weeks ago, so go ahead and read that first - I'll wait.
Rooting is usually a 5 minute process, and many guides around the web explain what that process is for your exact phone model and Android version combinations, just Google "YOUR_PHONE_MODEL root".
Now that you have root, let's proceed to the next step.  

2. Install ROM Manager App

This is the easiest step. Go to the Android Market on your phone and install ROM Manager.
This excellent application handles backing up and restoring, as well as flashing new ROMs, all from an easy user interface. This application requires root, which is why we've first gone with step 1.
Got the app installed? You should see something like this: 


3. Back Up

This part is very easy and in fact I dedicated a whole tutorial just to this subject which you can read if you want more details about the backing up and restoring process.
Done reading the backup tutorial? Now check this out: you don't even have to perform a manual backup - ROM Manager will automatically ask if you want to back up or not in step 5, when you are flashing the new ROM. This is what it will look like: 


3.1. Flash A Recovery Image

If you read the backup/restore article above, you may have seen that there is a one-time step that was needed before ROM Manager, or any other manager, can install ROMs, back up, restore, or do anything with Nandroid Backup - and that is flashing a recovery image.
Important: unplug the USB cable during this step, as some users are reporting problems flashing recovery while plugged in (thanks DennGir and others).
This recovery image contains a boot loader which replaces your original boot loader.
The boot loader gives you the ability to run Nandroid backup and restore commands outside of the OS.
It also lets you install ROMs but we will not do that today. Since the OS cannot back itself up fully while running, ROM Manager will reboot into this boot loader to perform Nandroid operations.

Again, remember: this step needs to be done one time only

4. Download The ROM You Want To Try And Copy It To Your Phone's SD Card

Here is where you need to do a bit of research and find the ROM image you want to put on your phone. If you don't know exactly what you're looking for, again, Google can help you - just search for "YOUR_PHONE_MODEL ROM" and look around.
For instance, if you have a Nexus One, you may want to go with CyanogenMod and if you have a Sprint HTC Hero (CDMA), you will want to check out DamageControl.
If you bought ROM Manager Premium, which I recommend, you would have a "Download ROM" menu enabled right within the app, containing some of the most popular ROMs, so you don't have to look for them online or spend time downloading them on your computer and copying to the phone.
If you choose not to use ROM Manager Premium or if the ROM you want is not included in the default list, then keep reading this section.
Each ROM you find will be based on a specific Android version - make sure to pay attention to that. 

DamageControl ROM For The HTC Hero

In my case, I knew that there were not many options for my Sprint HTC Hero and I quickly found that the DamageControl ROM was exactly what I'd been looking for.
It is currently based off Android 2.1 and it's exactly what I had flashed on my phone to come up with this [p]review: Detailed Mega Review Of Android 2.1 On Our HTC Hero – Discover All The New Features (With Lots Of Screenshots)

Download The ROM You Selected

Download the ROM image, which is usually a zip archive, and copy it into the root folder of your SD card.
Important: you do not unzip the .zip file - just copy it as is.
You can do it by
  • attaching the phone with a USB cable and selecting the option of mounting the SD card to be used as a drive on the computer
or
  • unmounting the SD card, physically taking it out of the phone, and inserting into your own card reader
or
  • downloading the ROM straight from the phone browser
Once you've copied the ROM image, you can proceed to flashing it in step 5.
If you purchased ROM Manager Premium for $3.99, in addition to thanking the developer for the awesome job, you've also unlocked a few premium features.
In particular, the Premium version can download ROMs compatible with your phone straight from ROM Manager. Just select "Download ROM" and see which ones are available for your model.
Unfortunately, there is no ROM entered into the app for Sprint HTC Hero at the moment, so you still have to download it manually using the directions in step 4. 

5. Flash It

The process of installing new firmware or low-level system software in general is called flashing.
We will be flashing the new custom ROM over the stock one that came with your phone.
  • Pop open the ROM Manager and click "Install ROM from SD Card"
  • The ROM you downloaded in step 4 should show up in the list. If it doesn't, make sure you've put it into the root folder of the SD card.
  • Click on the ROM and you should receive a popup inviting you to
    • back up existing ROM (which you should do unless you've already backed up manually) and
    • wipe data and cache, which you should only do if you want to do a clean install, i.e. when upgrading from the stock ROM. Note: this does not wipe your SD card data - it only wipes the phone's internal memory.
  • Follow the rest of the prompts and voila - the ROM is being installed!
Check out these screenshots I took, showing the full process: 

The flashing process should take 5-10 minutes installing everything and then 10-20 minutes during the first boot. Please be patient during this process.
Once the phone boots, you should find yourself in the new ROM.
This is it - end of the road! You've done it! Enjoy your fast and clean phone. 

Problem During Flashing?

If after the "Reboot and Install" step, you immediately get a picture of Android with a big exclamation point, most likely it means the ROM image you downloaded was not cryptographically signed by the developer (which happens if they were in a hurry to release or simply don't use encryption).
That's OK - you can fix this by:
  • clicking the exclamation point screen, which goes to the ClockworkMod recovery menu or simply rebooting into recovery manually (that's one of the options in the ROM Manager). Alternatively, you can boot into recovery by holding Power and Home buttons together while powering up your phone
  • selecting the option that says "install zip from sdcard"
  • toggling the "toggle signature verification" option to turn the verification off (it should say "Signature Check: Disabled")
  • giving flashing another try by selecting "choose zip from sdcard" and selecting the right ROM, just like before
I took some screenshots of this process to make this easier to comprehend: 


6. Want To Go Back? Restore It

Alright, you may want to restore the original full backup of your OS that you took in step 3 (or 5). Maybe you forgot something in the original installation or want to go back to stock for another reason - no problem.
Install and load up the ROM Manager app in the custom ROM you flashed (basically, repeating step 2). Now use the "Manage and Restore Backups" menu to find your backup and restore it (including the OS itself and all the apps, settings - everything that you backed up).
After you're done restoring, you'll be back to your original OS as if nothing ever happened (was it just a dream?)
