28 April 2012: Bersih 3.0

吉隆坡市长阿末弗亚越权？
民主行动党士布爹区国会议员郭素沁26-4-2012于吉隆坡发表声明。 （吉隆坡26日讯） 民主行动党士布爹区国会议员郭素沁指出，她对吉隆坡市长阿末弗亚表示，市政局将向那些参与净选盟3.0 .於 428在吉隆坡独立广场举行静坐抗议的集会者，采取强硬的对付行动感到震惊。 她说，当首相纳吉和内政部长希山慕丁，甚至总警长依斯迈，都不约而同地苟同由净选盟3.0和绿色盛会组织联办的428和平静坐大集会之际，阿末弗亚是否要向他的顶头上司，充分展示他在隆市拥有绝对的权力阻止该和平集会？“纵使中央政府为了不愿得罪人民，而不反对该项和平集会活动？又或者阿末弗亚试图破坏国阵政府对人民的宽待与奉承，而让人民参与在第13届全国大选前的选举改革和平集会呢？” 也是民主行动党全国组织秘书的郭素沁今天发表文告说，她怀疑阿末弗亚的举动，是否受首相及中央政府的指示。 她说，这数个月以来，她看见中央政府对和平集会非常宽容；然而首相与内长是否利用阿末弗亚，作为他们的傀儡，以阻止这项和平大集会呢？ 她表示，由于隆市是归由中央政府的管辖范围，因此，她促请国阵领袖及中央政府对阿末弗亚的声明表明立场，包括这是否中央政府的双重指标，亦或阿末弗亚不服从中央政府的指示而擅自发言？ “倘若阿末弗亚的声明不代表中央政府的意愿，那么，我促请首相和内长公开谴责阿末弗亚激怒民众愚昧的声明。”
