The principal of Sekolah Menengah Bukit Selambau, Kedah had created yet another controversial issue some time ago, September, 2010 by telling the non –Muslim students who eat during the puasa month of Ramadhan to go back to China for not respecting the fasting month for Muslim. This had no doubt angered non-Muslims parents in Kedah and also the whole nation generally.
On September 21, Kedah State MCA chairman, Dato Chong Itt Chew made a press statement in MALAYSIAKINI that if the principal , Ungku Aznan Ismail, is not transferred to another school, there is a possibility that party may take drastic action, like organising a protest in front of the school.
I suggest three option for punishment, should be done.
1.That it is, not merely to transfer the racist teacher or government servant from the post, but if possible freeze their pension.
2.Charge them under Penal Code for causing disharmony, maybe racial unrest in the country.
3.Arrest him/her for uttering seditious slurs under Seditious Act in this multiracial Malaysia.
This is a very serious case and let it not be a precedent for future racist slurs to happen again, be it anyone and to any race. The government have been trying hard all these 50 over years to bring unity is a failure. If not whats the motive of 1Malaysia initiative of the Najib administration.
We must also note that prevous home minister had said ISA can be use to protect someone., and for MCA to protest in front of the school in Bukit Selambau, why not suggest the present Home Minister, Hishamuddin to also protect the school principal too.
Also that the present MCA President, Dato Seri Chua Soi Lek can even afford to say “Namewee should face the music” for his racial video rap on the youtube.
I feel very pitiful for Chua Soi Lek and the Deputy Education Minister Dato Wee Ka Siong to become so helpless until to even have to involve the Kedah State Chairman Dato Chong Itt to create the impression that he is hero to the Chinese community in Kedah. His statement in Malaysiakini on Tuesday, 21 st September, is another case of political bangkrupcy and MCA cheap political drama. Dato Chong the prevous ADUN of Kota Darul Aman should retire for good.
DAP Kedah stand is clear, the demand is action rather than transfer. UMNO/BN just pretend not to understand the real desires and dream of the non-Malays and Chinese in particular…….a fair and reasonable non racial policy for all!! The people have seen so many racial slur keep coming up all these years, even in parliament at one time when Sdr. Lim Kit Siang was even told to go back to China. Racial slurs comes even from police personnel, and maybe more from government servants and goes unreported.
The statement made by Kedah MCA in Malaysiakini, also shows Dato Wee Ka Siong cannot do anything to ketuanan UMNO and that PM Najib 1Malaysia is just a rheoteric after all.
2010年8月,我国再度出现带有强烈种族色彩的敏感言论。吉打州武吉士南卯国中校长,温古阿兹南不满华族生于斋戒月期间在校内进食,在8月18日的集会上羞辱华族学生,更以斋戒月为由禁止学生进食,还建议学生若不满可买机票回中国,消息一出,无疑地,“回中国”论,激起了华裔家长的不满及反弹声浪,再次引起轩然大波。
9月21日,马华全国中委兼亚罗士打区会主席拿督张日州更已表明施压,若教育局未能将前者调职,继续掌校,该党将采取后续行动,甚至在拉队到校门口抗议。
至于发表种族主义言论的掌校者该承受怎样的惩罚,我有3个建议:
1.不仅要调离种族主义的教师/公务人员,并且尽有可能的话,冻结犯事者的退休金、恩奉金等。
2 以违反刑法典之名(Penal Code) 指控该校长,因为此极端的言论将破坏国民团结,种族和谐及引发国内乱。
3.以发表煽动性种族主义言论为由,援引《煽动法令》(Akta Hasutan) 控告该校长。
发表种族主义言论在多元化种族的国家是件极为严重的事,伤害各族感受及破坏种族和谐者必须受到严厉的惩罚,无论他是巫裔,华裔还是印裔。50年以来,政府试图将国民统一团结起来的用心良苦,在我国最近接二连三的种族事件下,显得徒劳无功。而此校长的行为更是与我国首相纳吉的“一个马来西亚”理念背道而驰。
我国前任内阁部长曾说过以内安法令来逮捕一个人是一种保护。那么,既然马华扬言要纠察示威,那我们建议现任内阁部长希山慕丁尽快动用内安法令保护温姑阿兹南!
最让我们感慨的是,马华总会长蔡细厉医生竟然不惜批评网络歌手黄明志本属反种族歧视的作品,为黄明志的作品贴上了“种族主义”的标签。甚至认为黄明志应该为此受到应有的惩责。
我为蔡细厉医生和拿督魏家祥感到悲哀,他们是那么的无奈与无助,直至需要涉及到拿督张日洲来为他们打造“华社英雄”的形象。他于9月21日在当今大马所发表的评论更是另一项政治破产,一幕马华上演的政治戏码。
吉坡行动党的立场很明确,我们需要的是采取严厉的行动,而不只是调职那么简单。国政似乎无法理解我们非土著/华裔需要和向往的是什么, 我们需要的是一个公平,公正,无论种族,不分肤色的政治理念!最近几年,种族主义之说,种族歧视言论不断涌现,连 Sdr.林吉祥也曾在国会成为种族言论下的羔羊之一。让我们感到遗憾的是,这些激进言论竟是出自警务人员、公务人员、及受高等教育的教育人士口中,真正的数据为多少,还有所保留。
从吉打马华在当今大马所发表的言论来看,我们不难发现,拿督魏家祥对巫统特权也束手无策,而首相的“一个马来西亚”也不过是个美丽的口号,华丽的辞藻而已。
