PEACEFUL: DAP members walking in support of Bersih 3.0.

SARIKEI: Members of Democratic Action Party (DAP) here and Bintangor branches staged a peaceful rally to show their support for a Bersih 3.0 sit-in protest to call for electoral reforms before the coming general election.

Donning yellow shirts and carrying posters, they staged a brief walk on the street in front of DAP’s branch office here.

DAP Bintangor branch chairman Ting Yii Hiap and Sarikei branch assistant secretary Wong Ching King in a joint statement said the rally was a gesture of support to the cause of Bersih 3.0.

They listed the eight demands of Bersih: cleaning the electoral roll; reform postal ballot; use of indelible ink; minimum 21 days campaign period, free and fair access to media; strengthen public institutions; stop corruption, and stop dirty politics.

A message on one of the posters reads ‘Duduk Bantah Himpunan Bersih 3.0  428’.
