沙登国会议员张念群耍嘴皮

坦诚相对是一件好事！

人与人之间应该要坦诚相对，因为这是最直接的交流和表白，喜欢与否，接受与否都可以在这种情况之下说出来。诚意与否，虚伪与否就由各别人士去评估和鉴定，至于评估与鉴定准确与否，就更难说得准确！

平反林連玉運動工委會与马华署理总会长廖中莱见面呈交《平反林連玉备忘录》是一项很正面的活动，工委会主席杜乾焕也说得很清楚，这是工委会在平反林连玉工作方面的其中一个管道，是他们的工作范围。

《平反林連玉备忘录》主要有2項要求：恢復林連玉的公民權及制定教育平等法，公平對待母語教育。

由82个团体联署的备忘录也由工委会通过其他管道去争取实现的可能，这些都是很正确的，可是有人就是要针对廖中莱的谈话作出批评。我们都可以很清楚的从当时林连玉被遞夺公民权后所面对的窘境，当时华团如何对待这件事,看清当时的世态炎凉。

林连玉被遞夺公民权，说马华前领袖有责任，这没有错，说完全是马华的责任，就会有争议。事情的发展，很难说个清楚，我也是从林连玉基金会的叙述去了解已经发生了这么多年的事，很多年轻人甚至林连玉其人其事也不甚了了。前人的责任由后人承担，这也是一个家庭，一个团体，一个家族甚至一个族群，一个国家必须有勇气面对和承担的。今天的日本在面对二战与之前侵略中国杀害中国人民的指责时，也是尽量减低她所面对的指责！其首相前往参拜靖国神社时，抗议之声也从来没有间断，又如何？

马华接受了工委会的备忘录，马华会长理事会就要慎重讨论，这牵涉到很多方面的考量，如何通过适当的管道，协助工委会完成任务，才是正确的处理方式！

作为一位前华文教师，受过华文教育（小学学华文，中学读一本华文），我也像其他人那样热爱华文教育，在马来西亚这样的环境之下，虽然面对阻挠，处在困境，我想大家也没有气馁。

民主行动党美其名作为一个多元族群的政党，没有获得多数华人的支持也不会有今天这么多的国州议席，没有必要在这个课题上呛马华，讥讽马华。民主行动党应该在民联里头做一些实际的工作，在执政的州属向公正党和回教党提出可行的政策，协助华文教育的发展，才是正确的行动。

在华人子弟面对升学困境时，通过创办学院提供学位给华裔子弟升学，也获得政府承担经费，如拉曼学院，通过推行政府政策，开放学院增加华裔子弟的升学机会，像如今开放成立的许多私立大专学院，这些都是事实，虽然行动党作为反对党，可辩说自己无所作为，但一直以来，行动党在这方面的空白，却是有目共睹的！

沙登国会议员张念群对历史不甚明了，只通过耍嘴皮呛声，可以爽快，也让听者爽快，可是对于协助平反林连玉公民权一事，于事无补！

我倒想建议YB张念群重温林连玉生平事故，然后再次会见聂阿兹(或Hadi Awang 更好，因为它是党主席)，告诉他老人家有关林连玉被遞夺公民权事件的来龙去脉，争取他老人开口支持，像上次发生祈祷室风波时那样，可能会有更好的成果！

马华328重选过后......

马华328重选过后，新领导层和理事会的诞生将会给马华在未来的日子带来人事上的变动。

这些人事上的变动是必然的，大家举目以待的是这些变动是否会酝酿新的纷争。其实，所有的纷争不会是突然爆发的，它有冲突期，有酝酿期，在互相撞击和酝酿中产生。当然纷争的后果，谁都难以预料。作为头号人物，不会主动制造纷争，更不会希望组织内纷争不断，影响声望。

那么，谁会希望组织内有纷争呢？当然是那些希望争取出位的领袖。就因为纷争的结果，谁都难以预料！对组织的伤害，是领袖共同的责任，不需要个人负担的，所以有些人也“乐见其成”！所以，纷争是组织内难以避免的，只要有心人推波助浪，形成纷争，就有机会了。

其实，政党内存有派系，从古代部落，宫殿朝廷到现代民主政治，都一直存在着，也一直影响着政治发展。口诛笔伐，恨之入骨，倒也没有必要。为了政治需要，大家相安无事，或许相互制衡，还可谋求长时期的政治稳定。

由于政党可以掌控和分配国家政治资源，相对社团组织来说，领导人还要出钱出力，所以政党内的纷争会更频密。政党领导人只能通过安抚和资源分配，可以让大家在短期内相安无事，然而，长期来说，就不容易办到！

马华新任总会长蔡细厉的任务是艰巨的！除了需要面对党内外重提光碟事件，还需处理党内人事任免。

既然马华党内民主机制已经发挥作用，不管大家喜欢与否，都必须接受，还有微言者，就是不尊重代表的意见。假如真有人因为蔡细历当选而要退出马华公会，或加入其它政党，那是他个人的自由和权力，我们也无从过问，不过，也只好由大家去评估这个决定，是对是错，或另有用意以及所带来的影响。

作为领袖，我们时时刻刻都受到人民和党员的评估，同样的，我们也时时刻刻评估我们的领袖，尤其是刚上任的马华新领导层。我会定下一个时间表，观察领袖们在党内所做的决定以及对国家所作出的贡献来评估他们，当然也包括他们的言论！

过去的已经成为过去，我们不能一直回顾，也不能逃避，或一直向往以前辉煌的年代。我们必须向前，去接受挑战，哪怕这挑战是最艰巨的！

In a public opinion survey done by the Merdeka centre, it was reported that 67% of the Chinese respondents in Peninsular Malaysia say that MCA is still relevant and 62% of all eligible respondents agree that the party is still relevant.

The Malaysian Mirror Chinese Editionhas a follow-up report on this.



China Press also has a report on the similar topic.

谁在乱马华？

马华纷争随着黄家定的参选总会长，越演越烈，也让各派系组织内的一些师爷，有机会显身手，出主意。

由于这些师爷闲置太久，无从表现，有些还有点意志消沉，意兴阑珊，所以这次重选，可说是大好机会，可以为主子效劳出力，希望咸鱼可以翻身。

说这些话并没有贬义，你告诉我“为主子效劳出力”有什么错？拿人钱财，替人消灾嘛！老板没有那么傻，请一个倒米的伙计吧！

就像某大报（注意谁是背后老板！）的“文化打手”（这是贬义！）那样，最近，这些“文化打手”，倚着专栏指着人家的鼻子骂人，还放着自己的人头像。可却没有人敢得罪他们！全因为他们是“正义”的代表！（意思是说：只有他们才是正义的！）这可是现代21世纪马来西亚民主开放社会的怪现象！

忙里偷闲，上网逛逛，看到透视大马的一篇文章说家定乱马华，颇有意思，摘下与大家分享。其实还有很多文章可以摘录，跟大家分享，不过因为我跟这个发表文稿的人通过电话联系，知道他是马华的前辈，了解他的看法，所以就特别摘录他的意见。

我是借别人的话表达自己的看法，不需要号召大家认同，我也是派系中人，所以也是有争论性的，所以不跟你争论是你对还是我对！

很多事物都是一体多面，从哪一个角度来看，都会认为自己是对的，别人是错的。我们像是盲人摸象罢了！假如真的有人说他才是对的，其他人都是错的，他不是发神经，也有些“契线”了！

马华重选

随着蔡细厉和其他7名中委的辞职，加上廖仲莱派系13名中委的有条件呈辞，达成三份二中委人数呈辞，根据党章第41条，从3月4日开始的一个月内，马华必须召开特别大会进行重选。

重选是选出一个新的中央委员会，在没有更好的解决办法之下，重选是解决目前党内派系斗争和困境的其中一个符合民主程序的办法，也符合国阵的利益。

重选不可能解决所有问题，甚至没有解决大部分问题。重选并没有解决各派系领袖的所谓“诚信”问题。选举只是解决了，谁将可以拥有党内分配资源的权力！谁将拥有权力将问题扫进地毡下！选举决定谁去谁留！既然决定谁去谁留，所以选举时也不用给对方留情面。情面只能在以后去争取回来！

在选举过程中，斗争只会更剧烈，但这是民主所需，无可避免！

其实选举从来并没用解决党内派系斗争，党内派系斗争是永远存在的，任何政党组织都一样！

政海浮沉，就看往后的一个月！
能一劳永逸的解决问题（一些问题），何尝不是一件令人感到欣慰的事！

今年选了，明年再来选，假如选出的领袖不合意，总秘书再发信给中委选择要不要辞职，或再要求三分二中委辞职，再来选，如何？中央代表们可以选个不亦乐！

MCA: Let's move on

I like this piece from Ronnie Tan in the Malaysian Mirror. It speaks out how some of us(actually how many we don't know), really feel. We voted for you to be in the leadership, but now you choose to boycott the leadership, for whatever reason you may say.

"We are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained it. But it must not break our bonds of affection." We should really give it a thought.

我們會照顧你的 "kami akan jaga kamu" (we will take care of you)

以下是一篇 MOHSIN ABDULLAH的文章, 他是很风趣的，他这篇文章非常有新意，虽然是写给巫统领袖和党员看的，不过马华党员和华人社会领袖，阿狗阿猫（华人社会才有吧了）也非看不可！今天，看到马华的一些年轻领袖个个神采飞扬，面对记者，听说他们的问题因为获得巫统领袖的插手，终于可以解决了，所以个个眉开眼笑，我也被感染到那种欢乐的气氛，只差没有开香槟庆祝！因为1128不用投票计票，只要汇报就行了，也不用担心出席人数，因为现在谁都可以出席了，更不用担心特大不合法！真是开心死了！

这么一篇好文章，跟你分享：

When UMNO takes on MCA’s role

Attention all UMNO members. Yes, including you leaders.

你好嗎？is Mandarin for "apa khabar?" or how are you? 我們會照顧你的 "kami akan jaga kamu" (we will take care of you) and 請投我們一票 "tolong undi kami" or please vote for us.

That should do it for now. There's lots more to it though.

Mandarin to you, at your age, won't be easy. Any mispronounciation can give totally different meaning.

Be careful. Now how you wish you had gone to study in Chinese schools long time ago right? Still it's not too late. But you've got to work hard. Learn Mandarin well.

But if that's not hard enough, then there're the dialects--Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Teowchew and many more.

Why you might ask must you endure or rather put yourself under all this "hardship"? Well, your Deputy President said recently that UMNO might take the role of "helping the Chinese community if MCA continues to be embroiled in crisis."

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said if MCA "is in such a state, obviously the Chinese community would not be happy and we don't want them to abandon the Barisan."

"So maybe there is no other recourse for UMNO to play that role (i.e. the MCA's role) for the time being to assist them," Muhyiddin went on to say as quoted by English daily The Star recently.

So there you have it. UMNO leaders and members must know Chinese well if they are to carry out the words of your Number Two man. Learning Mandarin and the other dialects is just the start. You must know what's dim sum, chee cheong fun, loh see fun, Mooncake Festival, Holy Ghost Festival, Chap Goh Meh, Zong Zhao Dong. The list goes on and on.

In short, you must know the Chinese culture, food, custom, etc. Again, how you wish you had gone to Chinese schools. (Come to think of it some UMNO folks weren't keen on Chinese schools in the first place and that's putting it mildly. Ask Zong Zhao Dong. Anyway put all that side and for the sake of the BN and Deputy President Muhyiddin get yourself ready.

Also please brace yourself to attend the many ceremonies and events. Including religious ones in temples. And you must attend events where non-halal food is served. Let's be blunt. When pork is the main dish.

You don't have to eat it of course. Nobody's going to force you to take it anyway. But just attend the ceremony, sit at the same table with other guests and respect those enjoying the food. And drinks. (You must know what yam seng means.)

Of course there's more. But you get the picture. You need to feel and live the community. You must realise the Chinese hold education very close to their hearts.

In short, you've got to be as Chinese as possible to understand and appreciate the Chinese. Only then you can "mendampingi" (get close to) the Chinese. Only then you get to carry out your task as envisaged by your Deputy President.

Still that's the easy part. The going will get tough when the Chinese community brings out issues which they want resolved.

There's no need to be specific, as being seasoned politicians in a big party like UMNO, you all know what the issues are, or at least can expect what will be raised.

Suffice to say equality is one. My two sen worth of advice is--get your answers ready.

Only then you can say with confidence 我們會照顧你的 ("kami akan jaga kamu," we will take care of you) and 請投我們一票 ("tolong undi kami," please vote for us). (By MOHSIN ABDULLAH/MySInchew)

诚信是一把尺!

把诚信当一把尺，用来衡量自己，也可以用来衡量他人，只要方法是公平的，态度是诚恳的，那么，我们讲什么，做什么，都会心安理得，何惧之有？

Answer and Report from Pahang State Authority on Gold Mining Activities in Bukit Koman

Below is a news report from NST Online on a question answered by the Pahang State Government on 20/11/2009. The DAP wakil rakyat from Kawasan Tras thanked me for posting the question during the tea break so that he was able to seek further clarifications on the issue. We all believe and agree that the safety of the people is always our concerns, whether from the government or the opposition.

No threat from gold mining ops

2009/11/21

SEVERAL extra safety measures have been taken to ensure gold mining activities in Bukit Koman, Raub, will not harm the people in the area, the House was told yesterday.

State Environment Committee chairman Datuk Hoh Khai Mun said measures included 10-metre holes at 20 locations to monitor the quality of underground water near the tailing pond and the installation of two units of an alarm system to check the existence of hydrogen cyanide gas in the area.

"We also check the discarded water everyday to trace the existence of cyanide and arsenic and its pH (acidity)," he said in reply to Datuk Chuah Boon Seong (BN-Mentakab).

"Raub Australia Gold Mining Sdn Bhd had also employed staff to check the piping system which transferred waste water to the tailing pond. Also, the Mineral and Geoscience Department will be conducting fortnightly inspections."

Punish MCA trio for unforgiven political crime

By Koh Teng Gee

Ong Tee Kiat was so confident of beating the vote of no confidence pass against him in the Oct 10 EGM that he publicly declared that he would step down even if he lost by a simple majority. As it turned out, he lost by 14 votes.

It was reported that this was due to the 'Third Force' who wanted both Ong and Dr Chua Soi Lek out. I believe in Ong's case, his trusted leaders that had played him out by voting against him.

Liow Tiong Lai must have seen the opportunity to take over the leadership the moment Ong made his statement to step down. Hence, after the outcome was known in the EGM, he didn't waste time in having a secret meeting with his trusted supporters to force Ong to step down as promised.

It was reported that at the central committee meeting, Chiew Mei Fun stood up to make a call for Ong to step down to start the ball rolling to put pressure on Ong.

Knowing the kind of man he is, I believe in a different situation, Ong would have done what he said. However, when he knew that his trusted friends had backstabbed him and plotted to topple him, he didn't step down as promised.

The MCA's constitution requires a two-thirds majority to oust the president. Although his integrity was dented, he did the right thing by not stepping down. Had he done so, he would have to resign as a transport minister.

Liow, as president, would have to reward his two trusted supporters in Wee Ka Siong and Chiew Mei Fun. It was rumoured that Wee was to be minister of transport and Chiew the minister of tourism.

The consequences would be disasterous as Wee is allegedly linked to Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) matter. He would do all in his power to reduce the damages to BN politicians who were involved in the PKFZ scandal. The whole truth of the scandal will be lost forever.

As for the ambitious Chiew, it is unthinkable that she would replace her former boss, Dr Ng Yen Yen, who has done an excellent job as the minister of tourism. Can the public accept a non- elected person to replace an elected one?

Chiew lost the the 2008 general election while Ng won. For her involvement in the plot to topple the MCA president, she will be disliked intensely and I hope she will never win in any of the general elections to come.

I sincerely hope that the MCA members will punish this trio for their unforgiven political crime. Can the MCA accept people who backstabb their friends? I hope Ong will take steps to drop the three from their cabinet posts.

Let there be an MCA AGM to carry out elections for all posts. The identities of the Third Force are now exposed. Unfortunately, they include some of Ong's trusted friends.

团结为什么这么难?

一个组织的成员之所以不团结，原因可以是错综复杂的，基本上是意见分歧；不团结不打紧，大家只是面和心不和，只要有观众，戏还是可以照做，假如闹纷争的话，比如说闹上法庭或号召众人站在自己的立场跟对方理论蛮干，就不止是意见分歧那么简单；这个年代，少之又少的人会纯粹因为意见分歧或因为什么“真理”，而“动刀动枪”的，动“真金白银”的，很多时候是因为“利益”的问题。

什么利益问题呢？当然讲利益一定先想到自己的利益，我身为----------（应用一点想象力，自己填！），我会得到什么利益？什么好处呢？要明白的一点是，不止是政治人物讲利益，商人讲利益，其实大多数（我不敢说所有人）普通人都讲利益好处的！你不信吗？乞丐在路边向人讨钱，也会选择“策略性”地点，“策略性”时间，因为这样才有机会讨得更多钱！小孩子也懂得看父母脸色撒娇，选错时间撒娇，可能换来一顿痛骂！夫妻之间何尝不是如此？嗨呀，例子多得很！

很多外人不懂得马华为什么闹纷争，其实，不只外人不懂得，有些中央代表也不懂得马华为什么闹纷争，一场又一场的纷争，没完没了！当然，这间中，就有真真假假的论述，各有各说，百花齐放，百鸟齐鸣！你相信谁就相信谁吧！你喜欢听谁的就听谁的吧！A，B，C，任由你选，说不定由AB变出一个C之后，然后ABC又变出一个D来，谁也说不准！

政治人物的存在，是国家制度上必要的，政治是管理众人的事物。在管理众人事物的同时，确保众人事物获得优先处理，众人利益为主，个人/集团的利益分配为次。假如本末倒置，迟早出问题！轻则大选时损兵折将，重则连管理众人事物的权力也失掉，只有旁观的份儿！马华和民政在槟州的情况就是这样，只有旁观的份儿，连召集党员去摇旗呐喊，去助阵也缺乏力气！

马华再重选，无论是否符合党章规定，还有得争论，肯定纷争不会就此结束！说纷争就此结束，就好像每日新闻的评论员文章那样，是雾里看花，（不敢骂人“半夜吃黄瓜”，因为这些学有专长的人可能是我的长辈，是老人家）既然纷争不会就此结束，为何多此一举呢！

当然，很多有资格参与争取资源分配的党领袖肯定兴致勃勃，因为机会来了！

是的，个人机会来了，可是没完没了的，马华怎么样了，我也管不着！

马华党内纷争

也许很多外人不认同，不过熟悉党内事物的人可以看得出，今天马华党内所发生的纷争是无可避免的事，是去年马华党选后所埋下的一颗计时炸弹。

也许有人会这么说，不按下计时器，不是不会爆炸吗？
问题不是按不按下计时器，而是事情的演变不允许领导层再拖下去。问题是假如它爆炸的时间不对，对马华对国阵杀伤力会更大。

一个不和谐的领导层，如何带领整个团队去面对挑战？如何带领团队去面对华裔群众，争取他们的支持呢？
应该跟领袖配合，跟团队配合的人，不愿意配合，不愿意牺牲，时常唱反调，又有哪个领袖会接受呢？又怎么能服众呢？

作为一个中央领袖，肯定拥有各地的支持者，各地的诸侯，这些各地方上的既得利益者，肯定会有所期望，有所动作。

马华今天的问题就由马华的中央代表做表决吧！在斗智斗力的过程中，无须谩骂，无须抹黑，摆实施讲道理，让中央代表做决定，一个特大不就行了吗，何必强行要召开两个特大呢？

让中央代表作出决定，马华纪律委员会是做对了或是做错了？会长理事会是做对了或是做错了。

有人同意会长理事会所做的决定，有人反对这样的决定。参与的人肯定都要付出代价，对马华本身来说，冰冻三尺，非一日之寒，这浅显的道理大家都懂。

长痛不如短痛，要走的迟早会走，像蔡锐明这样（一个令我[不提别人，不代表别人]失望的前马华领袖），你怕他找不到好的理由或好的藉口离开吗？要留的肯定会留下来，打死也不走的！

在我们的实际生活当中，在我们的周围，也许不是全部，但其中的一部分，有婚姻关系的伴侣，难道没有想过离婚的吗？最后，有感情也好，没感情也好，有一些是真正离婚了，也有一些是混混厄厄的渡过了那一辈子！

你选择要表现自我的方式，还是选择混混厄厄的过日子呢？

你选择，我也作出选择！
