請相信,我們的國家需要作出改變,柔州人民更要勇於尋求改變

旺阿茲莎展開攻勢 借砂戰情要柔州人求變


(麻坡18日訊)打完砂拉越州一戰馬不停蹄趕返西馬,人民公正黨主席拿汀斯里旺阿茲莎首場趕到國陣柔州堡壘展開一連兩場政治講座會,「借鏡」砂州戰情以及鄉土貧窮困境的課題在麻坡展開攻勢,要柔州選民敢敢求變!


旺阿茲莎指出,即便民聯在砂州選舉戰場上,面對諸多「無中生有」的指控攻擊,惟最終還是成功取得突破,公正黨及行動黨各別增加倍數及雙倍的席位,總得票率大幅度提升。

她說,目前身在倫敦該黨顧問拿督斯里安華,從過去1998年、1999年直至2008年至砂州選舉前面對性光碟案件,以及第三電視臺專訪拉惹柏特拉,卻選在砂州選舉前播放,旨在打擊民聯的政治目的更是昭然若現。

國家要改變

「砂州雖然擁有豐富的石油和樹桐等天然資源,然而,偏僻的內陸地區人民生活窮困,貧富懸殊巨大。」

一輪激情演說後,旺阿茲莎突然放低聲量指出:「請相信,我們的國家需要作出改變,柔州人民更要勇於尋求改變。」


配合公正黨峇吉里區部昨晚在麻坡舉辦的「是時候換了」晚宴,站臺演說的包括民聯領袖公正黨主席拿汀斯里旺阿茲莎、副主席蔡添強、柔州聯委會主席拿督蔡銳明、加埔區國會議員馬尼卡瓦沙甘及峇吉里區國會議員余德華等人。

講座會總共吸引1000民眾到場支持,現場共籌獲3912令吉的大選基金;與此同時,另一場講座會則同步在亞依淡舉行,會上吸引近2000巫裔選民出席聆聽。

AI WEI WEI(DEMOCRACY) VS WEN JIA BAO(DICTATOR)---《一虎八奶圖》

《一虎八奶圖》細細品味便能發現這幅畫道盡階級間的微妙關係。



《一虎八奶圖》中,艾未未將自己當作主角,灑脫地與其他4名女性全裸入鏡。

這幅畫是諷刺社會包二奶、三奶、多奶的現象;不過有人反駁,艾未未本身也疑有包二奶,況且畫中人物的動作太古怪,不可能只有如此淺顯的寓意。



有人認為,只要仔細觀察這幅畫,即可看出階級劃分的隱喻。艾未未坐鎮畫面中心,雖然貌似坦率,但手卻巧妙地遮住重點部位,即代表著「黨中央」(擋中央);此外,他的雙手安穩地置於左膝上,也表明了堅定的左傾態度。



畫面最左的長髮女子,戴著眼鏡、翹腿坐在沒有靠背的椅子,象徵「知識份子」有地位、有架子,但卻靠不住;而她撥弄頭髮,始終側身向著黨中央,也說明知識份子再怎麽賣弄,仍被政府牽著走。



最右的女子體態豐腴,掛玉佩、戴手錶,是「資產階級」;她有地位也靠得住,雙手向身體右側擺,代表「右傾」立場。在這幅畫裡,黨中央與資產階級相隔甚遠,好比檯面上的關係,但2人還有另外一張單獨合影,則象徵背後的密切往來。



畫中的短髮女子原先沒有地位,僅能站著陪笑,但後來卻被黨中央拉去靠著坐,代表「新聞媒體」受控制。至於從頭到尾只能站在椅後,身體被遮住最多的,則是沒有地位、也時常被無視的「農工階級」。




《一虎八奶圖》是艾未未近來最具爭議性的作品,不過並非因為它的裸體呈現,畢竟這些模特兒未經挑選,姿態表情也不帶淫穢色彩;但隱含的諷刺消息,加上作者艾未來是著名革命詩人艾青之子,仍讓這張藝術作品充滿話題。

《独立新闻在线》- 就是坑钱不转型

《独立新闻在线》- 就是坑钱不转型

Instead of being angry and outraged at the huge interest in Sarawak, let us use this to inspire ourselves to be more involved in our state issues.

Challenges for BN, Pakatan after the S’wak polls
Did you hear about the Bidayuh who voted for DAP?


By June Rubis
April 22, 2011

We were like a bad bar joke: two Bidayuhs, a Lun Bawang, an Iban, and two Malays walk into a DAP ceramah in Kuching. The crowd is mostly Chinese, and the speeches so far are all in Mandarin.

“I don’t understand what they are saying,” I complain to my fellow Bidayuh.

“Neither do we, and that is why we drink,” he replies, handing me a can of beer.

The next day is Election Day for Sarawak, and we, the motley crew representing the urban non-Chinese, cast our votes for DAP.

Times have changed for urban Sarawakians who all this while have embraced DAP as a home-grown party despite it having its origins in West Malaysia. We have seen the party struggle to grab a foothold in the state political arena for many decades.

It may be a Chinese-based party but for many of us urban voters, it represents the best possible choice for change of a state governance that we have grown weary of. Plus, you have to admit, their mascot is very cun.

Unsurprisingly, DAP has done very well in the urban areas (and 30,000 Ubah plush toys have sold out in less than two weeks), and soon everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon about how the Sarawak Chinese have rejected Barisan Nasional.
I jokingly tweet about feeling neglected as an urban Dayak who had voted for “ubah”, and how the Chinese are getting all the credit.

And then, it starts to get a bit nasty. The Chinese community in Sarawak are accused of rejecting multi-racialism. Seriously?

I ask you, pick any Sarawak Chinese and ask them whether they have indigenous relatives, either by blood or marriage, and they will answer you in the affirmative. Sarawakians are a plural society, and we are proud of it. We may identify ourselves as Chinese, Bidayuh or Lun Bawang but at the heart of it, we are always Sarawakians first.

Blaming the divide between the urban and rural votes in the state election on race is lazy analysis.

It is all too easy to blame a group of people — either the Chinese for “rejecting multi-racialism” and voting for DAP, or the rural indigenous population for being “short-sighted, and naive” and voting for BN — than to acknowledge the real issues on the ground.

Let us put aside, for now, the obvious vote-buying, intimidation, trickery and unfairness during the electoral process that we all know happened during the election.

What we have to acknowledge and try to understand is that for the most part, the rural population still identify and support BN as the only genuine state government.

Dismissing the voting results from the rural areas to the corruption process is simplistic and lazy because it absolves do-gooders from having to go on the ground, and try to understand why the rural peoples feel beholden to BN. We need to go beyond tweeting/facebooking/blogging about our outrage of the state election results.

Years of indoctrination cannot be undone in one state election, yet please do not mistake me for being dismissive about the results.

As a Sarawakian who has lived most of her life in this state, I am quite happy with the outcome. We may not have the government that we had hoped for but yet 45 per cent of my fellow Sarawakians voted for a change of government.


And this has given me hope.

I acknowledge that Pakatan Rakyat has given Sarawak a collective hope that we have not seen in years. That a change of government is indeed possible.

It is not the fiery speeches from the ceramahs that has inspired me per se, but the thousands of my people — Chinese, Bidayuh, Melanau, Iban, Malay — that came out despite the fear of being seen as “opposition”.

And now we, urbanites of Sarawak, ARE the opposition. There is some beauty in this.

For those two short weeks of intense campaigning, I would hope that those who came from West Malaysia with the genuine intent to help Sarawak, had a quick glimpse at what we have lived with for the past 30 years. You may not understand why we see things the way we do, but I do hope that this is the beginning of what will be a long process of trying to understand and help.

To my fellow Sarawakians who were outraged with how our brothers and sisters came from West Malaysia with their own ideas of doing things, let us at least acknowledge that their abrasiveness, lack of protocol, enthusiasm, and yes, naiveté, of how things work in Sarawak, and overcome our own inhibitions of “this is just how things are”.

They helped us get our voices back. Their speeches, while at times biased towards West Malaysian issues, inspired us so that we too can speak out, loud and proud, and not be afraid. And yes, a lot of us were afraid for many years.

Instead of being angry and outraged at the huge interest in Sarawak, let us use this to inspire ourselves to be more involved in our state issues.

We do not like how the West Malaysians are doing things? Then let us lead the way.

Let us find the humility that there are still things we need to learn. Do not worry about the condescension that they sometimes show towards us. I am beginning to realise lately that it is more of their reflection of fear and confusion than anything else.

There is so much to do for Sarawak, on the political and civil society front, and we have to realise that it starts with us Sarawakians, but we do not have to do it alone.

And maybe, one day, we can move on beyond being a bad bar joke, and prove to the rest of the country that when we cast our votes, we indeed cast our votes for the representatives that we felt were best suited for the job, and not because of the colour of her skin.

* June is very sad that she did not manage to get an Ubah plush toy.

MCA leaders’ failure to condemn Utusan Malaysia’s racist call for 1Melayu 1Bumi proves again how powerless MCA is against UMNO

MCA’s failure to condemn Utusan Malaysia shows it is powerless against UMNO

April 21st, 2011 by Teresa Press

Press statement by Teresa Kok, Selangor State Senior EXCO and MP for Seputeh in Shah Alam on 21 April 2011

MCA leaders’ failure to condemn Utusan Malaysia’s racist call for 1Melayu 1Bumi proves again how powerless MCA is against UMNO

It’s been two days since the recalcitrant UMNO-owned Utusan Malaysia fanned the flames of racial disunity by calling for a 1Melayu, 1Bumi movement to battle the so-called Chinese challenge to Malay dominance in Malaysia, and yet, MCA leaders are still conspicuously silent on the matter.


The only reported statement by MCA on the matter is a quote of MCA Vice-President Liow Tiong Lai saying, “Utusan cannot generalise the whole thing. It has nothing to do with race. It has more to do with the urban needs and the rural needs.” (Source: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/mca-sarawak-chines e-voted-on-urban-rural-lines-not-race/ )


How weak, meek and gentle Liow was towards Utusan Malaysia’s incendiary call, to say nothing of how Utusan Malaysia’s call was the ultimate insult to Prime Minister Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia which MCA claims to support.

MCA’s reticent response to Utusan Malaysia is expected given MCA’s track record of handling Utusan Malaysia’s with kid gloves. They can’t not kowtow to Utusan Malaysia for fear of offending UMNO, owner of Utusan Malaysia and the dominant party of Barisan Nasional (BN).

This shows that the BN “power-sharing” system preached by MCA to uphold the interest of the Chinese and other races in Malaysia is a complete and utter fraud. It cannot be real or effective if MCA can’t even express the outrage towards Utusan Malaysia being voiced out by the very Malaysians of Chinese descent which MCA claims to represent.

Liow’s statement is in fact an attempt to backpaddle from the race-based BN structure which they have propped up for MCA’s own political expediency.

Furthermore, Liow’s statement that race is not a factor is a direct contradiction of his earlier statement that it was racial polarization that had lead to SUPP’s Chinese candidates being ousted in the Sarawak state elections. (Source: http://www.sinchew.com.my/node/201337?tid=1 )

It appears that Liow switches his position depending on what is most politically expedient for him and MCA at the moment.

However, I am pleased that Liow now acknowledged the truth that DAP did not win our seats on racial politics and that DAP also received substantial support of non-Chinese community in Sarawak.

I urge MCA leaders to grow a backbone and openly condemn Utusan Malaysia’s 1Melayu 1Bumi movement, as Pakatan Rakyat leaders have done, if MCA is to have any credibility as the party that upholds the interests of the Chinese that they claim to be.
