Facing reality 既成的事实

纳吉今天宣誓成为新任首相 Najib sworn in as new Prime Minister



The official result of 13th general election: Barisan Nasional (BN) obtained 133 parliamentary seats, Pakatan Rakyat (PK- People’s alliance) obtained 89 seats. (Total 222 parliamentary seats)

BN won with a simple majority and will form the next government. BN also wrestled back Kedah state which they lost in 2008.

PK maintained the control of 3 states: Penang, Selangor and Kelantan, gained extra 7 parliamentary seats and more state seats than 2008.

PK refused to accept the result based on reasons of many irregularities, vote buying, suspicious electoral rolls were discovered during the election. They will take further action such as protest rally, meeting with the EC (Election Commission) and bringing it to court.

Whatever it is, it is a stark reality that BN has won.

Basically, the Chinese community has a firm mind to vote for change, thus sided with the oppositions. Contrarily, the Malays at the last minute, decided to fall back unto UMNO, thus affecting the performance of PAS and Party Keadilan, rendered the vision of federal government change unfulfilled.

However in Kelantan, voters continue to support the Islamic system of government by returning PAS to power.

The two advance states, Penang and Selangor, with the more matured voters, basing on wisdom, they rejected money politics, promises of all sorts, corruption and abuses, to return PK state government to power in a bigger margin of votes.

One man’s gain is another man’s loss. PK’s gain, especially by component party DAP,  is MCA’s loss. MCA was practically wiped out in many states.

7 ministerial candidates from MCA were defeated in this election. Already there are calls for the head of unpopular MCA President Chua Soi Lek.

Although BN was able to form the next government, it gained only 48.6 % of votes, whereas PK gained 51.4 %.

Prime Minsiter Najib blamed the worse BN loss in history on “Chinese Tsunami” which means Chinese rejected BN and embraced the oppositions.

MCA President Chua Sok Lek also sang the same tune. Chua also said the present situation has become   “Malay in power, Chinese in opposition” and a “ 2-race system”.

Chua said that no MCA member would hold governmental posts including cabinet minister. He wants to see how the Chinese would suffer without Chinese voices in the government.

This tactic is a double-sided sword.  To a political party used to enjoy power and benefits, without government portfolio, would be like a tree without roots to convey water, will die of a slow death.
Chua himself is a good example of a party boss without a cabinet post …. His political life is dying!

The defeated former Chief Minister of Melaka Mhd. Ali Rustam put the blame of his loss squarely on the Chinese for being “ungrateful”. He was found guilty by his own party of vote buying during party election few years ago.

This was exactly the reason of their own demise: They do not know what they are talking, because they do not know what the Chinese community wants !

Chinese community are not keen to play racial politic, not interest to see “Chinese VS Chinese”. What the Chinese wants are also the desire of other communities too.

The Chinese wants a clean government ( no corruption, no money politic), fair and equality (No racial discrimination, cronyism and nepotism), independent Judiciary (no manipulation from the executive branch, respect of human rights), freedom of religion, equality in education, freedom of speech, fair and clean election and so on,

All are basic rights and values. It is not about race. That simple.
   
To make matter worse, they said the Chinese were misled and instigated by the oppositions to oppose the BN. This is a great insult to the wisdom of the Chinese, and at the same time, exposed their stupidity and ignorance.

They are blinded not to see that more than half of the Malaysian voters discarded them, not Chinese only.  As Lim Kit Siang, veteran opposition leader said “ it’s Malaysia Tsunami, not Chinese Tsunami”.

So do not ‘racialize” the election result and distract the people from their corruption and tainted election.

In kajang, my state constituency, MCA candidate was handing out cash, gifts and free dinner daily. Yet he lost to an outsider PK candidate by more than 6000 votes (15%), and Malay contributed 50 % of his winning.

Look at Selangor, the PK-governed state. Despite Najib’s great effort and many promises of cash, projects and benefits inducement,  the state government retained power with a bigger margin than 2008. The multi-ethnic population rejected BN, not Chinese alone.

It was the wind of change, the desire of getting rid of corruption, abuse of power that people rejected the BN.

If the MCA leaders, especially in Kajang, do not see these, and still singing in tune with their President, claiming “ the 2-race system”, “Malay in power, Chinese in opposition”, I suggest it is better for them to rear chicken than continue with their political life!

Najib will now have to realize and accept the fact that people wants change … not his “transformation” rhetoric. We should wait and see whether the next 5 years, Najib would pursue a more open and reconciliatory stand, or a retaliatory path of racial politics.

There will be no Chinese politicians in his cabinet. However, he can still bring in non-politician Chinese professionals or community leaders into his cabinet in order to substantiate his idea of moderate and a PM for all.

As for us Chinese, the current post-election situation demands us to be courageous, bite the bullet, face up to the challenges ahead.

It is time for us to stand up to the age old threat of MCA: no representative in government. We have the support of more than half of the population with us.  

Politicians may come and go, but Malaysia is our country, we are here to stay and we shall prevail!

p/s:
What does Chinese wants?
Chinese wants a fair, just and stable country. That's all.


(7/5修编)


大选的官方成绩正式公布:『国阵』获得 133 国会议席,反对阵线『民联』获得 89 席。(国会总共有222席位)

国阵以简单大多数议席,再次执政。另外他们也从民联夺回2008年失去的吉打州政权。

民联这届大选在三个主要州属:槟城,雪兰莪及吉兰丹保住政权。另外,他们比2008年,多斩获 7个国会议席及更多的州议席。

不过,『民联』以大选出现许多违规,作弊的状况,如收买选票,许多可疑或幽灵选民而拒绝正式接受大选的成绩,而且准备采取后续行动,包括抗议集会,会见选委会(选举委员会)及司法途径。

无论如何,这已经是一个事实 - 国阵继续执政。

大致上,华社已经非常的坚定立场,要改变,要换政府,所以都把票投给反对党。相反的,马来社会在最后一分钟,大部分决定回到他们熟悉的巫统怀抱,导致民联的两个成员 - 公正党和伊斯兰党的成绩欠佳,使到 “五月五,换政府” 的行动失败。

不过,吉兰丹的居民仍然支持伊斯兰党,对伊斯兰教义施政感到满意。

槟城及雪兰莪这两个先进州,居民的思想成熟,以智慧思考,唾弃国阵的金钱政治,利益的引诱及贪婪腐败,以比2008年更高的选票,把政权继续的交托到民联的手上。

有得必有失,民联的获得,特别是成员『民主行动党』(火箭)的绝佳成绩,是国阵的马华和民政两成员党的损失。其实“损失”不能真正表达他们的成绩,“全军覆没”该是最恰当!

马华有7位部长级的候选人,上演滑铁卢,饮恨沙场。马华已经出现倒总会长蔡细历的浪潮了。

『国阵』虽然继续执政,但他们所得到的选票,只是48.6 %,而民联则获得51.4%,所以,国阵不是一个受到大多数人民支持的政府。

首相纳吉把国阵史上最差成绩的第十三届大选结果,归罪于“华人海啸”。马华总会长蔡细历也是如此的论调,企图把自己的失败,归罪与华社。

蔡细历还说这是“两族阵线” ,“马来人在朝,华人在野”的状况。他说马华不会加入内阁及接受官职,看看没有华人代表在内阁说话及传达讯息的下场,到底是凄惨到什么地步。

这是一把双刃剑。一个习惯了权力,利益谋取的政党,没有官职,就如一棵没有根吸水的树,慢慢。。慢慢就会死于枯萎。他本身是一个没有官职的总会长,他的下场,我们有目共睹。

那位被拉下马,输了国会议席的原任马六甲首席部长莫哈末阿里,本身就因金钱收买党内选票而受处分的腐败者,指名道姓的说“华人不会感恩”。

其实这就是他们失败的原因:不知道他们在说什么,因为他们不知道华社要的是什么!

华社不是要搞种族政治,也不是要以华制华。华社要的,也是全国其他种族要的,那就是要一个廉洁的政府(不要贪污腐败的政府,不要金钱政治),公平与透明(不要种族歧视,朋党利益),司法独立(不要司法干扰,践踏人权),宗教自由,平等教育机会,言论自由,选举透明等。就是些基本的东西,非常简单!

更可笑的是,他们说华人是受到反对党的唆摆及影响,而反对国阵。这更加是对华社智慧的侮辱的言论,也暴露了他们的愚蠢。

难道他们是盲目的看不到超过半数的马来西亚人,已经把他们唾弃了,不只是华人而已!正如反对党领袖林吉祥说的,这是“马来西亚海啸”,不是“华人海啸”,不要把大选结果种族化。

在加影区议席,马华候选人天天派钱,天天请吃,天天送礼,但却以六千多票,败给一位来自外地的民联“天兵”。更妙的是,他的获胜,是得到50%马来选民的支持。

再看整个雪兰莪州,民联的成绩比上届更好。虽然纳吉极尽全力,利益引诱,蜜糖般的承诺,要夺回这个繁荣的州属,但也是徒劳无功。难道反抗国阵,只靠华人的力量吗?

人心求变,因为已经厌恶了贪腐,厌恶了滥权。这是普世价值观,不仅是华人的价值观而已。假如加影的马华领袖还是看不清楚这一点,还是跟着总会长的论调起舞,说什么“两族路线”,“马来人在朝,华人在野”等,我奉劝他们还是去养鸡,好过参政了。

现在的已定局势,是人民求变所成,未来五年如何,就得看纳吉是否选择宽容妥协,还是报复性的种族路线。

他的新内阁,肯定是不会有来自政党的华裔成员,但可能会委任党外的专业人士或华社领袖,进入内阁,以证明他提倡的中庸,全民的政府概念。

华人必须勇敢的面对事实,接受挑战,向前看,向前进,五年后又是一条好汉!

马华以不入阁,没有华人代表作为威胁,恐吓华人多年,现在是我们勇敢的咬住子弹,面对挑战的时候。

后语:

很简单的,华人要的是一个公平,安定的国家 。。。

每次到了夜深人静的时候我总是睡不着
我怀疑是不是只有我的明天没有变得更好
未来会怎样究竟有谁会知道
 幸福是否只是一种传说我永远都找不到

我是一只小小小小鸟
想要飞呀飞却飞也飞不高
我寻寻觅觅寻寻觅觅一个温暖的怀抱
这样的要求算不算太高

所有知道我的名字的人啊你们好不好
世界是如此的小 我们註定无处可逃
当我嚐尽人情冷暖
当你决定为了你的理想燃烧
生活的压力与生命的尊严那一个重要


我是一只小小小小鸟
想要飞呀飞却飞也飞不高
我寻寻觅觅寻寻觅觅一个温暖的怀抱
这样的要求算不算太高
