人聯不要在華文媒體煽動華族情緒

Supp shouldn’t intimidate racist emotion among Chinese in Chinese press.

On 26/06/2007 press statement, the Supp Treasurer YB Datuk David Teng Lung Chi (鄧倫奇) expressed, if people choose to support the opposition party and leave the political power mainstream, using the minority strength to support opposition party exerting pressure, the obvious result is that the bumi mainstream political power may not need to depend upon the non-bumi Chinese race to participate in the politics, then the bumi can rule this country on their own.

In this situation, he said, all unreasonable politically administrative deviation cannot be obtained in an effective solution; this is the route of the opposition party. However, another choice is Supp believing by participating in the mainstream political power on a long term conferral, in order to maintain the rights and the interests of the Chinese, to ensure the stability and the progress of the all people.

Regarding Mr Teng’s (鄧倫奇) opinion, Fong Pau Teck pointed out that our country is a multi-races society, Mr Teng’s opinion will destroy seriously the harmoniously relationship among all races, Supp self-praised to be the multi-races political party, ought to point out the government’s politically administrative deviation, to treat all races fairly, but not to stir up the Chinese emotion through the Chinese press, and treat the native (bumi) as enemies in mind.

On the other hand, on 26/06/2007, The Secretary general YBhg Datuk Sim Kheng Hui (沈慶輝) also expressed similarly, the people should possess of the so-called crisis consciousness, although we are living in a peaceful and tranquil living conditions every day, but these peaceful and tranquil living conditions certainly are not rendered freely from the sky, in stead, all are exchanged with people’s blood and tears.

According to him, in those very years, Supp was during the period of the opposition party, many branches and the subdivision were forced to close down, and the party members were arrested into the prison, with the trading of the struggles of those diligent people in those day, only for the peace and freedom for today’s people.

According to Mr Sim’s opinion, Fong also pointed out, Supp in the period of the opposition party, Supp could strive for the people and acquired the peacefulness and the tranquil living environment, then, Supp should suppose not to deny the exerting pressure way which is carried out by the opposition party nowadays should also contribute to this country, Supp should not obliterate the contributions of the opposition party for the country.

Supp supposed to speak out all sorts of problems they faced while striving for the rights and the interests of the people such as the Chinese Education issue, and declare what ways will be used in the future to continue to fight for it, so as to eliminate the people’s thinking or view that Supp dares not to fight for the people, and dares not to stick on the righteousness. After all, many states in Malaysia have already been institutionalized to allocate funds to Chinese Independent Schools year to year, but what reasons shouldn’t the Sarawak state government imitate so as to show the fair treatment to various races of people?

It has been well known that the functions of the ruling party and the frontier party are different, both has its own duty, the frontier party’s ways of exerting pressure helped Supp the ruling party’s closing door striving, closing door negotiation, and accelerated its progress. If the ruling party has failed the people’s expectation, the people then repose their hope to the frontier party, this is the populace’s wise choice. It is also a good way to stimulate the ruling party not to slow-down at work. Simultaneously, Fong Pau Teck called upon all wise Supp members to stop and spurn out-and-out those leaders who sent out instigating opinions which alienated the relationship among all races of people, in order to prevent the gap of the various races expanded further, and let the people thought that Supp is the party which stirred up the racist emotion of all races.

人聯黨中央財政拿督鄧倫奇在26/06/07報章表示，如果選擇支持反對黨離開政權的主流，以少數的力量來支持反對黨施壓，可見的結果是土著主流政權，可以在不需要依靠非土著的華族政治參與，而自我統治這個國家。

在這種情況下，他說，所有不合理的施政偏差，不能獲得有效的解決，這是反對黨的路線。但是，在另一種的選擇是人聯黨所堅信的參與主流政權以長時栛商式和作法，來維護華族的權益，和確保全民的安定和進步。

對於鄧倫奇的言論，房保德指出，我國是多元種族社會，鄧倫奇的上述言論將嚴重破壞各族之間的和睦關係，人聯黨自我標榜為多元種族政黨，理應指出政府施政的偏差，公平對待各族人民，而不是在華文媒體煽動華族，視土著為假想敵人。

另一方面，人聯黨中央秘書長沈慶輝也同樣在26/06/07報章中表示，人們應有所謂的危機意識，雖然說我們每天都生活在和平與安寧的生活環境當中，但是這些和平與安寧的生活環境並不是從天而降的，是許多人用血淚所換回來的。

據他表示，當年在人聯黨處在反對黨時期，面對許多支部及分部被封閉，黨員被捉進牢房。也是在這些人的努力爭取下，人們才換來今天的自由與和平。

房保德根據沈慶輝的言論又指出，人聯黨在反對黨時期，既然能為人民爭取到今天的和平與安寧的生活環境。那麼，人聯黨就不應該否定反對黨的施壓方式，和抹煞反對黨對國家的貢獻。

人聯黨應該公佈在爭取人民權益如華教課題的過程中所面對的種種問題，和在未來將採取何種方式繼續爭取，以消除人民認為人聯黨不敢為民爭取，不敢杖義執言的看法。畢竟，國內多個州都己制度化常年撥款華文獨中，本州政府有何理由不仿傚以示公平對待各族人民？

眾所周知執政黨和在野黨的功能不同，各司其識。在野黨的施壓方式有助身為執政黨的人聯內部爭取，內部協商，並加速其進度。如執政的政黨擔誤了選民的期望，人民進而轉而寄託於在野政黨，是民眾智慧的選擇，也是刺激執政的政黨不要怠工的一個好方法。同時房保德呼籲有智慧的人聯黨員應該阻止和唾棄思想極端的領袖發出挑撥各族關係的言論，以防止各族人民之間的鴻溝進一步擴大，讓人民誤以為人聯是搞種族情緒的一個政黨。

陳康南的言論另人擔心

Dr. George Chan’s opinion makes people worried

The president of Supp, YB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan Hong Nam, expressed extremely worried that some medias started the route to try to please the public with claptrap, and they even jutted out to react against the mainstream political sound opinion, these opinions lacked of political correctness, and caused the wide readers and the government to come into estranged affection, deviated the orthodox functions of the past medias.

He emphasized that as public organizations, mass media, frequently used “protect Democracy” as a pretext, and shouted out “the right to know” to people, exaggerating some government’s faults or politicians’ misbehaviour, caused people to prejudice the politicians and the government’s that then affected the cooperation in between the officials and the people to create a goal for a prosperous society.

He said, the purposes of some newspaper are for profit making only and publish many bad reports about the government and the society, this newspaper is unworthy for us to read and support.

He expressed that, in order to fish for the political capital, certain politicians started to make used of the media to create things just to frighten the people, distorting the government’s favourable policy to the plunderage of resources. On the other hand, described oneself as the people’s hero. Part of the public who do not have the analytic abilities probably can be misled, in which produced misunderstanding to the government, and finally affected the public policy to be carried out smoothly. He then added, the government development funds were limited, if the people are hostile toward the government, that area does not welcome the government and intends to overthrow the government, the government definitely will not develop this area.

Deputy Chief Minister’s opinion made people felt uncomfortable, if brother Nam thought that presently most people generally felt disaffection toward the government was due to the politicians’ misleading and the claptrap from the press, he should truly point out in the press which politicians and newspapers made such impractical opinion to defame the government, and he may make suitably clarifies, even he could take action to bring them to the court in order to ensure a correct understanding of the facts, but not to make threatened opinion to the kind citizens by saying not to develop those areas.

At present, our country adopts the free election democratic system, the people have the right to choose the ideal courageous person, if people prefer to elect the candidates of the frontier party to be the people representatives, the person in power use the people in certain areas do not welcome the government or intend to overthrow the government as an excuse to refuse to carry on any development to that certain areas. Had this lost the meaning of free election of democratic system? People are kind and neutral, people vote for the frontier party candidates, certainly do not mean that the people want to overthrow the government, the people only want to transmit some messages through their votes to the government, to express their dissatisfaction toward some policies and to spurn those representatives who are unable to express the public opinions. If certain policies, embark from the people’s point of views, regardless from any angles to look into them, still cannot find out any advantages for the people, the ruling party should have more ways and spaces than the frontier party to transmit the government’s messages to the people. Why do the people still tend to listen respectfully to and believe in the frontier party’s political view?

After the government increased the fuel prices, all domestic products inflated, the government warned the merchants cannot raise the daily necessities prices ceaselessly, otherwise will suffer official tackle seriously. Some reports showed in the Malaysian Website pointed out that one of the Mama Stall in West Malaysia, the price of the ice Milo was more expensive than the normal day for 20 to 30 cents and finally was fined twenty two thousand and five hundred ringgit. According to the report, the Domestic trade and consumer personnel department also confiscated 750 ringgit food and drink, and tore down the restaurant signboard.

On the other hand, the government allowed the profit-making highway to increase the toll fees, and expressed that if do not allow the charging highway to increase the toll fees; the government would compensate a large amount of money to the highway company. When the chargeable television channel collected high charges from the people, minister said, if the people complain of the high charges, they may choose not to watch. There are non-chargeable television channels like TV1, TV2, and TV3 available domestically, but the government has no intention to open for non-chargeable satellite television programme from other countries. BN government allowed the profit-making electrical company to have traffic hike, allowed city councils and local councils to collect higher assessment fees for the reason those department had not adjusted the assessment fees for several ten years. But the government had not considered the users for the electrical company and the houses too had increased how many times if compared to several decades ago? The increment of the customers does it not mean that the income increased, moreover, the profit increase too?

Because of all sort of charges increased, people do not have enough money to spend, the workers requested the employers to raise the salary, but for those hawkers who are also the bosses themselves too or the shop owners of the small grocery stores, whom could they request the increment of salary from? The similar income is insufficient to deal with the soaring expenses nowadays, how to survive if do not adjust the prices? The government has the responsibility to ensure that the highway company not to lose money in business, but do not care about the people, only suffering people know their own's pain.

Brother Nam should understand that the government has the necessity to examine those policies which caused people arose negative view, like what the SUPP Lanang sub-branch secretary said, the leaders and the members of the opposition party are not the enemies of the country, they are not the competitors for the ruling party, look into the people’s aspiration which raised by the opposition party positively, absorb the good lessons from the neighbouring country about the ignoring of the people’s aspiration and caused the collapse of the government.


砂州第一副首長陳康南表示非常擔心，一些媒體開始走向嘩眾取寵的路線，甚至突出反抗主流的政治聲音的言論，這些言論缺乏政治正確，使到廣大讀者與政府產生疏離作用，偏離了過去媒體正統意義上的上情下達的功能。

他強調，作為公共機構的大眾媒體，經常動輒以保護 “民主” 為藉口，為人民有 “知的權利” 而渲染、誇大政府的一些失誤或政治人物言行的疏失，使人們對政治人物，對政府的偏見，進而影響官民合作，共同創造繁榮社會的目標。

他說，有些報章就是為了賺錢而對政府及社會作出許多不良的報導，而這份報紙就不值得我們去看及支持了。

他表示，某些政客為了撈取政治資本，開始利用媒體來制造危言聳聽的言論，把政府的利民政策扭曲為掠奪資源。相反的，却把自己描述成民族英雄，部份沒有分析能力的公眾，可能會受到誤導，而對政府產生誤解，進而影響到公共政策的順利執行。他還說，政府發展基金有限，若人民仇視政府，該地區不歡迎及有意推翻政府，政府肯定不會對該地區作出發展。

副首長的言論令人看了多全身不自在，南哥既然認為目前人民普遍對政府感到不滿是因為受到政客的誤導和媒體的嘩眾取寵式的報導而影響，他應確實地在媒體指出是哪些政客和報章作出哪些不切實際的言論來底毁政府，並且可作出適當的澄清，甚至可以採取行動把彼得提控上庭以正視聽，而不是對善良的百姓作出不發展彼等地區的恐嚇性言論。

我國目前採取自由選舉的民主制度，人民有權力選出心目中的人民代議士，當人民傾向於投在野黨的候選人成為代議仕時，當權者却以該區人民不歡迎政府或有意推翻政府為由而拒絕對該區進行發展，是否已經失去了自由民主選舉的意義呢？人民是善良而中立的，人民票投在野黨的候選人，並不意味着人民要推翻政府，人民只是要通過手中的選票向政府傳達一些訊息，來表達他們對於某些政策的不滿以及唾棄一些無法表達民意的議員。如某些政策，從人民的角度出發，無論是横看還是竪看，都看不出那裡利民，執政黨應該比在野黨，有更多的管道和空間向人民傳達政府的訊息，為什麼人民傾向於聆聽和相信在野黨的言論呢？

當政府調高國內的燃油價格後，國內百物隨着水漲船高，政府警吿商家不可胡亂抬高日用品的價格，否則將遭受嚴厲取締行動的對付，馬來西亞網站的一些報導指在西馬一家嘛嘛餐館賣美祿冰比平時貴20至30仙而被罰款2萬2仟500令吉。據了解，國內貿易及消費人事務部還充公了750令吉的食物和飲料，並拆掉餐館的招牌。但另一方面，政府却批准賺錢的收費大道調高收費，並表示如果不批准收費大道調高收費，政府須賠償大道公司巨額款項。當收費電視頻道向人民調高收費時，部長說，人民如困嫌收費電視台的收費貴可以選擇不看，國內有的是無收費電視台如TV1, TV2, TV3 等！但政府却無意開放來自其他國家的免收費衞星轉播電視節目。國陣政府批准賺錢的電力公司調高電費，市政局和市議會調高門牌稅，理由是這些部門己經有幾十年沒調高收費了。但是政府却沒有考慮電力公司的用戶和房屋比前幾十年已增加了多少倍？增加的客戶不是等於收入增加，而且盈利隨著增加嗎？

由於種種收費的調高，人民的錢不夠用，工人要求老板加薪，但自己也身老板的小販或小雜貨店店主，可向誰來要求加薪？同樣的收入己不足以應付高昂的開銷，不調高物價如何生存？政府有義務確保大道公司不賠錢，苦哈哈的人民有苦唯有自己知。

南哥應該了解，政府有必要檢討那些引起人民負面看法的政策，誠如人聯黨南蘭律事務秘書所言，反對黨的領袖和黨員並不是國家的敵人，他們不是執政黨的競爭對手，正面看待反對黨所提出的人民的心聲，吸取鄰國罔顧民意導致政府垮台的教訓。
