| 2011 DAP Wesak Day Message (en/cn) Posted: 17 May 2011 07:15 PM PDT 2011 DAP Wesak Day Message By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 17.5.2011 This year's Wesak Day's theme as announced by the Malaysian Buddhist Association of, “Cultivate Loving Kindness, Foster Harmony” reminds us that love and blessings is not just for Buddhists but for all mankind including Muslims, Christians and Hindus. Only if we cleanse hatred from our hearts and fill our soul with love can we find peace, balance and harmony with our lives and with each other. For this reason DAP calls on all Malaysians to stand up for peace and harmony by uniting against extremists and harmony that wants to see Malaysia burn with hatred and violence. Whatever our political beliefs, the time has come to unite against such dangerous extremism and racism. DAP is willing to work with all Malaysians including non-UMNO component members in BN to oppose this crusade and demand action against Utusan Malaysia and Ibrahim Ali's reckless opportunism and irresponsible adventurism. Are non-Malays and non-Muslims an easy target to be blamed and kicked around based on lies just to distract attention from the real problems affecting 27 million Malaysians? Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin signalled the inevitability of price hikes when he announced yesterday that the country could no longer maintain the current subsidies which has doubled this year from RM10.32 billion to RM20.58 billion, with RM18 billion for petroleum-related sectors. Instead of addressing the failure to remove gas subsidies benefiting Independent Power Producers(IPPs) that cost RM 19 billion annually, Perkasa is allowed to distract attention by talking of a crusade against Christians. The price hikes and difficult economic livelihood of the people are real issues that must be addressed. Whether in Cabinet or outside Cabinet,the time has come for all Malaysians whether Muslims or non-Muslims to stand together to reject hatred unequivocally, abhor extremists and universally condemn violence. We must all pray and speak up for peace and harmony, prosperity and justice, public accountability and good governance. ————– Chinese Version ——————– 民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年5月17日在吉隆坡发表的卫塞节献词 ———————————————————————————————————— 马来西亚佛教总会今年的卫塞节庆典主题是"培养爱心，助长和谐"，提醒我们，爱与祝福并非只限于佛教徒，它是属于全人类的，包括穆斯林、基督教和兴都教徒的。 只有当我们心中不存仇恨，让心灵充满爱，我们的生活才能和平、平衡与祥和，并与他人和睦共处。为此，民主行动党呼吁所有马来西亚人民为了和平与祥和，站出来团结在一起，反抗那些要以仇恨和暴力烧掉马来西亚的极端主义份子。 马来西亚人感到震惊和愤怒的是，巫统喉舌《马来西亚前锋报》刊登了危险谎言，指责行动党和基督教牧师密谋建基督国以制造对基督徒仇恨的情绪，而内政部却没有采取行动对付散播谎言的《马来西亚前锋报》。国阵政府也拒绝对付欲向基督徒发动圣战的土著权威组织的依布拉欣阿里，而内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁甚至拒绝把欲发动圣战的依布拉欣阿里为极端份子。 不管我们政治理念的差异，现在已经是时候让我们大家团结起来，反抗极端主义和种族主义。民主行动党愿意与所有马来西亚人民一起努力，包括非巫统盟友的国阵成员党，以反抗圣战，并要求对付《马来西亚前锋报》和依布拉欣阿里这种鲁莽、不负责任的机会主义者。 难道为了转移2700万马来西亚人生活受到影响的注意力，就能轻易将谎言抛在非马来人和非穆斯林身上，让他们成为箭靶和被怪罪的目标？副首相丹斯里慕尤丁昨天已暗示汽油必然涨价，因为政府承担的津贴已从去年的103亿2000万令吉翻倍涨至今年的205亿8000万令吉，其中180亿令吉是石油产品相关补贴。 基于国阵政府无法取消每年津贴给独立发电厂的190亿令吉，所以他们允许土著权威组织提出欲发动圣战的言论，来转移视线。当前的物价上涨和人民经济困难，才是真正必须解决的问题。 无论在内阁或内阁外，全马来西亚人，不论是穆斯林或非穆斯林，是时候站出来，大家共同坚决抗拒仇恨，明确地憎恶极端份子以及共同谴责暴力行为。我们必须为着和平及和祥、繁荣及公正、公共问责及良政，共同来祈祷。 |

UMNO's refusal to act against Perkasa and Ibrahim Ali's incendiary crusade against Christians by reason that Perkasa does not represent all Malays confirms UMNO's protection and support for Perkasa to incite hatred against Christians and create enmity amongst peace-loving Malaysians. This is a weak excuse by UMNO because if action is only taken based on the strength of your representation not the nature and ill-intent of your violence, why then act against terrorists because they also do not represent all the Malays? This latest justification by Minister of Home Affairs Datuk Sri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Onn why no action is taken against Ibrahim Ali only confirms that Perkasa is UMNO's alter-ego. When Ibrahim Ali launched his crusade against Christians in Gombak organised by the Komuniti 1Malaysia group of Kampung Kerdas and Kampung Changkat in Gombak, Umno Gombak chief Abdul Rahman Kamaruddin, his deputy, Abdul Aziz Jantan, and division information chief Ismail Ahman was also there to lend their support. Ibrahim Ali had justified his crusade on the false accusations by Utusan Malaysia that the Christians "challenged the sovereignty and dignity of Malays and Muslims." by wanting to form a Christian state and appointing a Christian Prime Minister. The failure of the Home Ministry to act sternly against Utusan for printing this dangerous lie has only emboldened extremists like Ibrahim Ali who now wants to launch a holy war or crusade against Christians. This dangerous lie by Utusan Malaysia has given a golden opportunity to extremists like Ibrahim Ali to make Christians the object of hate and incite enmity amongst Malaysians. Hishamuddin even went one step further in defending Perkasa and Ibrahim Ali by refusing to brand Ibrahim Ali an extremist for calling for a crusade against Christians! Just imagine if any Christian had called for a crusade against Muslims, he or she would have been arrested immediately. Ibrahim Ali had also declared his loyalty to UMNO and his meetings with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. How much more evidence do we need to show that UMNO and Perkasa is one and the same to entrench Malay support for UMNO to win the next general elections? There is no point for other BN component parties such as Gerakan or MCA to make press statements only in the non-Malay media asking for action against Ibrahim Ali when they know that none will be taken. So far no Gerakan or MCA Ministers have dared to press for a Cabinet decision insisting that Cabinet acts firmly against racists and extremists seeking to burn one Malaysia with this dangerous lies. DAP calls on all peace-loving Malaysian regardless of race and religion to unite against such extremists who dare to use the language of violence because of inaction or even tacit support by the BN government. All of us should pray regardless of our faith that truth will prevail and peace maintained in our beloved country. Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 16 May 2011. ————- Chinese Translation ———— 民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2011年5月16日发表的文告: 巫统以土著权威组织不代表全部马来人为由，拒绝采取行动对付欲号召以向基督教徒发动圣战的土著权威组织及依布拉欣阿里，进一步确认了巫统在保护及支持土权组织，以煽动人们对基督教徒的仇恨，并制造基督教徒与热爱和平的大马人之间的敌意。 巫统以土著权威组织不代表全部马来人为由，拒绝采取行动对付欲号召以向基督教徒发动圣战的土著权威组织及依布拉欣阿里，进一步确认了巫统在保护及支持土权组织，以煽动人们对基督教徒的仇恨，并制造基督教徒与热爱和平的大马人之间的敌意。如果巫统声称要基于代表的力量才能采取行动，而不是针对怀有不良意图暴力行为的本质，那是个软弱的藉口。既然如此，恐怖分子也不代表所有的马来人，但为什么他们却被对付了? 内政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁所给予的这个最新的理由，确认了土权组织是巫统的"密友"(alter-ego)。当依布拉欣阿里在鹅麦发动"1个大马社群组织– 甘榜哥达斯及甘榜樟卡区"举办，对基督教徒的圣战时, 巫统鹅麦区部主席阿都拉曼卡玛鲁丁，署理主席阿都阿兹占丹及区部通讯组主任依斯迈阿曼也都在现场给予支持。 依布拉欣借《马来西亚前锋报》的"建立基督教国，委任基督教徒首相来质疑马来人及穆斯林的主权及尊严"的错误报导，来合理化他发动圣战的行为。内政部长无法严正地对报导危险谎言的《前锋报》采取行动，只是让极端分子如依布拉欣有恃无恐地对基督教徒发动圣战或者是宗教战争。 《马来西亚前锋报》制造的危险谎言，提供极端分子如依布拉欣一个黄金机会，煽动马来西亚人之间的敌意以及将基督教徒打造成仇恨的对象。希山慕丁更是拒绝对欲向基督教徒发动圣战的依布拉欣阿里标签为极端份子，来进一步维护他及土权组织！试想像，如果任何一名基督教徒欲对穆斯林发动圣战的话，她或他是马上被逮捕的。 依布拉欣同时也宣布了他对巫统效忠，并曾经与首相拿督斯里纳吉会面。我们还需要多少的证据，来证明巫统及土权组织根本是一体，来为下届全国大选巩固马来选票及支持率的? 国阵其他成员党如民政及马华选择性在非马来文报章发表"对依布拉欣采取行动"的声明也是于事无补的做法，因为他们清楚知道：这根本不会有任何对付行动。到目前为止，没有任何一个民政或者是马华的部长，敢催逼内阁作出决定– 坚持内阁一定要采取严厉行动，对付利用危险谎言来燃烧整个马来西亚的极端及种族分子。 民主行动党呼吁所有爱好和平的马来西亚人，不分种族及宗教地团结在一起，来反抗这个得到国阵默许支持、护航，进而使用语言暴力的极端分子。我们大家都应该不分信仰地祈祷，以期真理必胜、和平留存在我们亲爱的祖国。 林冠英 |
| 2011 Penang Wesak Day Message By Penang Chief Minister(en/cn) Posted: 17 May 2011 08:06 PM PDT 2011 Penang Wesak Day Message By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 16.5.2011 Wesak Day is celebrated by wishing blessings not just for Buddhists but for all mankind including Muslims, Christians and Hindus. Praying for peace and harmony, prosperity and justice, public accountability and good governance is not enough. Malaysians must also act by speaking up together that as we see each other as Malaysian brothers and sisters who firmly reject hatred, unequivocally abhor extremists and universally condemn violence. Penangites are very concerned at the specific targeting of the Christian community with dangerous lies by the UMNO-owned newspaper Utusan Malaysia that DAP and Christian priests want to set up a Christian state and appoint a Christian Prime Minister. Instead of taking action against Utusan Malaysia for spreading such dangerous lies, the BN government and Home Ministry has allowed these dangerous lies to continue until Perkasa's Ibrahim Ali is launching a crusade against Christians. This threat of violence and war is anathema to all peace-loving Malaysians. By failing to take firm action against Ibrahim Ali for his threats of a crusade, the 1 Malaysia slogan of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is empty and meaningless to be used only to mislead Malaysians for votes. The time has come for Malaysians to stand up for peace and step out with each other on the common principle that no one should be discriminated based on race or religion. Just because of the colour of his skin, everything he does is wrong. Just because of the gods she pray, every lie said against her is justified. This is not only unacceptable to all moral and religious teachings, it is inhumane as well. Even though Christians and not Buddhists are targeted by UMNO and Utusan Malaysia this time, what is there to stop Budhhists and Hindus from being the next targets in future. Remember the famous quotation by the anti-Nazi and prominent Protestant pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) who said: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me DAP calls on all peace-loving Malaysian regardless of race and religion to unite against such extremists who dare to use the language of violence because of inaction or even tacit support by the BN government. All of us should pray regardless of our faith that truth will prevail and peace maintained in our beloved country. LIM GUAN ENG ———– Chinese Translation ————- 槟州首长林冠英于2011年5月16日在乔治市光大发表的卫塞节献词： 为众生祈福的卫塞节不只是佛教徒的节日，而是全人类的节日，包括穆斯林、基督教徒及兴都教徒。然而，单单祈求和平及和祥、繁荣及公正、公共问责及良政是不足够的。马来西亚人民也应该坐言起行，把彼此视为兄弟姐妹，共同坚决抗拒仇恨，明确地憎恶极端份子以及共同谴责暴力行为 这种含有暴力及战争的威胁，对所有爱好和平的马来西亚人而言是一项诅咒。无法对威胁要发动圣战的依布拉欣阿里采取严厉行动，首相拿督斯里纳吉倡导的"1个马来西亚"口号根本就是用来误导马来西亚人民以捞取选票的空谈兼没有意义的口号。 马来西亚人民是时候为了和平站起来，为了共同原则并肩走出来，没有任何人应该基于种族或宗教而被歧视。不能因为他的肤色，所做的任何事情都是错的。不能因为她所信仰上帝，任何抛向她的谎言都可以被合理化。这不只是不被所有道德及宗教教义所接受，更是不人道的。 虽然这次被巫统及《前锋报》盯中的目标是基督教徒而非佛教徒，但我们能够如何阻止佛教徒及兴都教徒，以不成为这些人未来的下一个目标？谨记反纳粹的新教牧师马丁尼莫拉（1892-1984）的名言： 起初他们抓共产主义者，我没说什么 然后他们抓社会主义者，我没说什么 再然后他们抓工会会员，我没说什么 然后他们抓犹太人了，我没说什么 最后他们来抓我， 林冠英 |
