马华、民政、国大党应当退出国阵让巫统孤掌难鸣

桂和区州议员兼社青团全国理事黄家和律师于2008年9月1日(星期一)在怡保警察总部针对巫统阿末伊斯迈发表“华人寄居论”作出投报后的新闻发布会上的声明:

(怡保1日讯)桂和区州议员黄家和律师今天率领霹雳州社青团团员前往怡保警察总部报案,要求警方以1948年煽动法令调查发表“华人寄居论”的巫统升旗山区部主席阿末伊斯迈。

也是社青团全国理事的黄家和表示,阿末伊斯迈拒绝收回“华人是寄居者”的言论以及道歉显示出他依然坚持己点、没有任何悔过之心。阿末伊斯迈的言论不但伤透了全体马来西亚华裔同胞的心,也会造成种族间的得紧张和仇恨,破坏各族交融和团结的努力。

黄氏说,阿末伊斯迈在峇东埔补选期间发出上述言论,显示出极端的巫统领袖为了捞取选票,而不惜煽动种族情绪。

黄氏表示,在独立51周年后的今天,阿末伊斯迈没有与时并进、思维尚充斥着极端种族主义,不是现代领袖应有的典范。首相拿督斯里阿都拉巴达威没有对阿末伊斯迈采取行动、吁令后者道歉,有包庇之嫌,更是令人失望。

黄氏说,在马来西亚多元民族、文化,各族互相体谅和尊重的国情下,社青团认为阿末伊斯迈的言论具有煽动性成分,应该在1948年煽动法令第3(1)(e) 条文与第4(1)(a)条文下被调查,并提控上法庭。除了在怡保,槟城社青团同时也在光大州议员黄伟益的率领下同步报案。

黄氏同时表示,人民在308大选已经给于拒绝种族主义和巫统霸权主义的重大讯息,但是看来巫统尚未觉悟和反省。国阵成员党包括马华、民政、国大党都已经至少向巫统妥协了40年,现在应当是时候考量人民的意愿,退出国阵让巫统孤掌难鸣。如果国阵成员党一方面表示对于巫统种族主义不认同、另一方面却选择继续与巫统合作,是欠缺了说服力。

Police Report Against Ahmad Ismail

Press Conference by ADUN Canning and DAPSY National Executive Council, YB Wong Kah Woh on 01.09.2008 at 11.30am at IPD Ipoh:

ADUN Canning and DAPSY National Executive Council, YB Wong Kah Woh today has lodged a report against Bukit Bendera UMNO Chief, Datuk Ahmad Ismail. Ahmad Ismail was reported on 25.08.2008 to have said that “orang Cina hanya "menumpang" di Malaysia. Oleh itu, tidak mungkin kita dapat menikmati kesamarataan di kalangan pelbagai bangsa.”

Wong said that Ahmad Ismail’s statement hurt the feelings of the Chinese in Malaysia and of seditious tendency. His refusal to apologize on his statement shows that he has no regret over the statement made. The statement was made at the campaign for Permatang Pauh by-election and clearly with an intention to gain political motives by playing the racial cards. There is a tendency to promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races in Malaysia.

“It is also regrettably to note that the PM of Malaysia, YAB Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi, had failed to take drastic action against Ahmad.”

It is also time for the BN’s component parties, MCA, Gerakan and MIC to consider whether to continue stay and work with UMNO in the coalition.
