50青年与大专组织今日针对土著权威组织及其分会在国内各地就‘平反林连玉运动’的举报行动联合发表文告以示强烈不满,并认为这是恶意扭曲该运动原旨与蓄意在族群之间制造混乱。
The Youth Associations feel strongly disagree about Perkasa’s action to lodge police reports nationwide against “Justice for Lim Lian Geok” campaign as it has distorted the objectives of the campaign and tend to create chaos among the races in Malaysia.
50青年与大专组织表示,平反林连玉运动’开宗明义是要政府重新思考50年前褫夺林连玉先生公民权一案的正当性,并落实教育平等法,公平对待各源流学校,这些要求都是宪法赋予的权利。
According to the 50 youth associations, one of the objectives of “Justice for Lim Lian Geok” campaign is to demand the government to make review on the decision to strip off the citizenship of the late Lim Lian Geok 50 years ago. Apart from this, the campaign also aims to demand for the equality in education so that every stream of school will be treated fairly. All these demands are the rights entitled to the citizens in the Federal Constitution.
“然而却遭土著权威组织报案指责平反林连玉运动违反宪法第152条文,但其实这乃是恶意扭曲,因为宪法第152条文清楚列明国语作为官方语言的地位,但同时也不妨碍其余语言在这个国家里的使用和教育机会,以这个为基础的话,各源流学校是宪赋存在,并应该得到公平对待的,该运动工委会的要求不仅是符合宪法,更是一种公民积极参与国家事务的表现。”
“However, this campaign was reported to have violated Article 152 in the Federal Constitution. This is a malicious distortion made by Perkasa because the Federal Constitution has clearly stated under Article 152 that Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of the country while the usage and educational opportunities of other languages will not be affected. If this is the basis, all streams of schools in this country should be treated fairly. The demands made by the committee of the campaign are inline with the constitution. Furthermore, their actions are a show of initiatives to participate actively in the national affairs.”
50青年与大专组织认为,每个国民公平获得母语教育资源应该是马来西亚的立国之本,是每一个身为马来西亚子民的骄傲,希冀土著权威组织不要再以狭隘的种族观念来看待教育课题,动辄以荒诞的举动来对抗。
The 50 Youth Associations hold the view that every citizen should have equal resources in mother tongue education and this should be the pride of every Malaysian. It is hoped that Perkasa will not view this educational issue from a narrow and racist perspective.
他们表示,诚如林连玉先生在独立建国前于《马来前锋报》所撰写的开斋节献词中所言,“马来亚独立建国的事业中,最要重要的工作,就是心理上的建设。第一就是要培养共存共荣的观念。我们知道马来亚是民族复杂的地区,每个民族对这一地区的开发,都有他们不可磨灭的贡献。我们必须把所有的民族,当作一家人看待,权利和义务一律平等,使大家相信有福同享,然后,可以希望他们有难同当,把国家建设得完整而稳固。”
Even before the independence of Malaysia, the late Lim Lian Geok has written in the Hari Raya dedication for Utusan, saying that in the process of nation building, psychological set-up is the most important effort. “The first thing to do is to construct a concept of mutual survival and success. We know that Malaya is an area with racial complexity; hence, every race has its inerasable contribution on the development of the country. We have to treat every race as our family members in which we share equal rights. Only then, they are able to face challenges and build a stronger nation together.” They further said.
“林连玉精神是超越种族、宗教,并以马来西亚人的观念来依归,而平反林连玉背后的意涵就是要肯定他的精神与每个国民接受母语教育的权利及得到公平的政府资 源,而不是像土著权威组织所报称,含任何抵触宪法、涉及煽动的议题或任何隐议题。反之,土权组织恶意将该工委会推动者扣上恶毒的指控与要求褫夺他们公民权 才是居心不良,并含有涉及煽动性的隐议题。”
The late Lim Lian Geok’s spirit is beyond race and religion; it is based on the concept of all Malaysians. “Justice for Lim Lian Geok” campaign wishes to acknowledge the late Lim’s spirit which demands every citizen to the right to mother tongue education and equal resource from the government. It is unlike what Perkasa has allegedly claimed that this campaign contains seditious and hidden agendas which violate the constitution. In contrary, the malicious accusation made by Perkasa is the one which contains seditious and hidden agendas.
50青年与大专组织表示,‘平反林连玉运动’是一场和平非暴力的公民请愿运动,而这场运动是关乎一名关心教育课题与国家前程的先贤的身后名誉,也关系国家各源流教育的往后命运,政府应该严正看重此事。
“Justice for Lim Lian Geok” campaign is a peaceful civil petition which concerns about the reputation of the late nation builder who cared very much about the educational issues and the future of the country. It is also about the fate of different streams of school in Malaysia. Thus, the government should take serious attention in this matter.
因此,50青年与大专组织借此机会郑重声明,全力支持平反林连玉运动,并认为平反林连玉先生的公民权是一项不容被忽视的事件,这也是政府纠正过往失误的一次契机,希望有关当政者能正面看待,并给以回应。
The 50 Youth Associations would also like to take this opportunity to restate the importance of bringing back justice for the late Lim Lian Geok as this is chance to overturn the past mistakes. It is hoped that the government is able to view this in a positive manner and give response to the issue immediately.
