从我的角度看拿督

黄子豪
马来西亚博特拉大学
前中华文化学会外务副主席
前工程学院学生会主席

第一次看到拿督翁诗杰的名字，是看到2001年马青特大的新闻。那时候的翁诗杰，站在反对马华收购南洋报业的立场上，和马华当权派对立得很僵。那时我对翁诗杰的勇气，深深地感到震撼。须知马华里面都是唯总会长马首是瞻。却原来，还有一个青年领袖，心里还有着当年从政的良知，站在前线，捍卫华裔的声音。

接下来跟翁诗杰的接触，是在大学第二年，那时，身为博大新春外务副主席兼总指挥，我的任务是邀请那时的高等教育部副部长翁诗杰来主持我们的开幕仪式。真实的翁诗杰，比印象中的更为严谨、认真。无论对节目流程或者发刊词，都一丝不苟，让身为学生的我，上了一堂宝贵的课。

翁诗杰在出任副高等教育部长的时候，成功为华裔生争取到了更大更广的平台。当时博特拉大学并没有一个正式注册的中华文化团体。在翁诗杰力争之下，成功促使高等教育部长在国会正式宣布各大专都可以通过学生事务处正式成立中华文化学会。这样的一个政策，促使华裔生可以光明正大的在校内办文化活动，不再受到校方的质疑。同时，拥有了这个平台，华裔生的活动空间也变大了许多。这可是翁诗杰在部门据理力争的正面成就。在翁诗杰出任高等教育部副部长的时候，国内四所研究型大

学更史无前例的有非土著出任学校副校长，这是一个历史性的突破。从此本地大专摆脱种族化的阴影更跨进了一大步。这个历史性的改变，翁诗杰应记一功。

总括而言 ， 翁诗杰

为学生 - 尽心尽力，力争到底
为教育 - 鞠躬尽瘁，永不退缩

为华社 - 敢怒敢言，不平则鸣

翁诗杰不要自视过高

~杨家勤

作为一个老百姓，我不希望自己被一个只会内斗内行，外斗外行的领袖领导，这是确定的。我最近对于翁诗杰、蔡细历及黄燕燕的隔空喊话感到失望。

翁诗杰绝对有本钱问鼎马华总会长之职，甚至可以在绝对优势的情况下，胜选总会长。但是翁诗杰需要注意的是不要自视过高，眼里必须容下其他的人意见。翁诗杰需要的是团队，需要的是组织能力。

如果蔡细历不是色情CD缠身，我想现在难有领袖可以与他抗衡。但是，事实总归事实，发生的事情就是发生了。人民及马华中央代表不可以当没有一回事，更不要说要把黑的说成白的。道德不应该成为探讨一个领导人的重点吗？中华文化的“以德服人”，修身、齐家、治国、平天下的论点又从何说起呢？我们是东方社会，是坚守礼义廉耻的民族，难道我们可以选择一个道德有污点的领袖来作为我们的政治领导吗？大家可别忘了政治乃治众人之事，道德怎可以不被审阅呢？除此之外，我们的马华领袖要如何以德服人呢？巫统会因为你是马华总会长，而看得起这一个曾经犯道德罪名的人吗？我们只是谈道德，没有谈到口交罪！如果是刑事案，我想更严重！

黄燕燕作为马华部长，而且还是负起照顾妇女的部长，却能枉顾马来西亚妇女的尊严，原谅一个背着太太在外偷吃的男人吗？我对于部长的这番言论深感遗憾，因为部长为了菜单，舍弃尊严。请别忘了自己的官职的责任！

最后，我还是支持翁诗杰问鼎总会长，但是需要改变的是那一个自视过高，把自己亲民的那一面拿出来！祝福你！

Stop The Moral Decay

~ Peter Phang

Whatever we do when we are a leader especially in the national level, we are a public figure and we shall not and CANNOT do those things that are not ethical and immoral. Pardon from the wife or family members has no significance in this unless the person has resigned from being a public figure then it shall be a family matter entirely. In the government, the Chinese ministers represent you and me and all the Chinese in this land and please go and ask how many are willing to have a leader that are immoral and have illicit affairs?? Where are the family values that supposed to be the cornerstone of these leaders? Even in the Western world, these immoral leaders are not fit to be the leader esp in the national level, remember Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky’s case? She is unmarried and yet not acceptable by the Western standard in allowing Bill to entitle lesser punishment. As a public figure and leader, one is subjected to public scrutiny and if one thinks this is too much, then leaves your position.

My stand is: as a public figure, once he has committed a serious moral offence, whether we can forgive him or not are our own rights BUT we cannot forget or condone it as if it has never happened.

We as Chinese, if want to be a leader for the community, the values of Confucianism are paramount. The saying goes: Before you lead a country or community, you must ensure good order for your own wellbeing and family before hand(A Chinese proverb). How will the young and children think about this if we ourselves don’t uphold the core family values? Do you think it is ok to sleep around for a national leader and minister? Wouldn’t he or she is subjected to becoming a liability to the country, community or family if he/she is caught? It can well become a national security issue and one is forced to do whatever our enemy wants if the wrongdoing is caught hold of. Do you think this is OK? Like or not, please leave your public position alone and do not taint it or make it a liability for the nation or community if one wants to have a free and easy private life, no one in the public will give it a damn really because we have more important things in life then to become a nosy parker.

As for our 'Big Sister', ie Head of wanita, her comments yesterday were politically driven and self-centred as she is eyeing for the presidency seat and wishes to obtain the support from the group even this means twisting moral values and ignoring blatant sins. Let the MCA delegates especially the wanita to uphold the righteousness for the future of our community and nation and stop the moral decay from worsening and be part of our way of life during their AGM.

All of us have a duty to ensure that moral decay is kept at check if we want to have a good future with good leaders.

Message To Ong

~Kean Tean Neo

I have always admire your courage and I like to listen to your articulated speeches whether in English, Bahasa or Mandarin. But lately, I have second opinions about your character.

To err is human, to forgive is divine. Always give our friends or foes the benefit of doubt. I am not a supporter of Chua nor OTK and I am not an MCA member. I am just a Malaysian who is interested in the well-being of the country and her people.

If Chua wants to be president of MCA, let the MCA elected representatives decide. You don't have to talk so much. His wife and family have forgiven him. Why blew the dust?

I want to see someone who is able to lead the country out of the mess. After the general election, nothing has been done. Scandals, corruptions, slanders (on the political front), Barang Naik (BN), racial slurs, robberies and demos are more frequent than before the election. Something is very wrong somewhere. But I can't pin-point it.

What has MCA done? What happened to the post-mortem of the general election? Ong Ka Ting is literally out of the MCA scene.

Best of luck in your MCA President run. Do your utmost best for the people and the rakyat can see. The rakyat has grown to be more mature than you think.

华社的希望

~ wildwild pig

我是一个对政治毫无兴趣的平民，没有特别喜欢的政党或政治人物，即使在308全国大选之后对国家的政治还是冷冷，只是没想到执政党会失去三分之二的优势，当时我想这绝对是一件好事。马华也在这届大选中算是惨败吧！我不怕老实说，就算触怒了大家我还是想将心里话说出来，看到马华惨败我心里还蛮开心的，是时候让马华尝尝惨败的滋味了。我一直认为马华是代表华社的政党，但似乎没为华社做些什么，什么事都不敢吭声，反而政府宣布汽油起价，大家争着做应声虫。我的家乡是执政党的堡垒，但我家乡地区所有的道路接近二十年没有铺过，只是有洞补洞，每次回去驾着车走在坑坑洞洞不平坦的道路上，我想一个一百巴仙支持执政党的地区反而得不到基本的照顾。所以参政的政治人物给我的感觉就是藉着参政来捞些油水，平时不见人影，要大选时才不知廉耻的要求人民的支持，但他们走在坑坑洞洞的道路上从没想过要在中选后从新铺好道路，我猜想他们只是在想中选后又可以捞多少油水。

一直看到翁诗杰先生您要竞选马华总会长引起了我的注意，您给我的印象是敢怒敢言，这一点我很尊敬和欣赏您，好过那种只会说什么默默耕耘又做不出什么鸟出来的人好得多。知道您要竞选马华总会长，我觉得华社有了代言人，马华有救了。希望您中选之后能好好整顿马华，重用有才干真正能为人民（不分种族）和国家做事的人，一洗以往人民对马华不好的印象。另外希望您能从新重视立白猪农的状况，我所知道有钱的猪农得到很大的帮助，贫穷的猪农到现在还在垂死挣扎，他们的孩子就快连书都没得读了，希望您能帮助他们。阿弥陀佛，善哉，善哉。在这里向您致敬及祝福您。

我眼中的翁诗杰

罗秋俊先生

马青中委
马华中央代表
马华乌鲁冷岳区会副主席
马青青年事务局主任兼《阳光青年》总执行长

在政治生涯中，当面对党换高层的时候，必定引起四面关注。身为党一份子，凭党内的经历，藉此给予未来总会长候选人－翁诗杰一些个人观点来表心中的一份情怀。翁诗杰给予华社大众的评价是个能肯为民族请命而又从不轻易退缩的刚强人物。我对他的看法也一致，认为他具有个人的魅力、内心坦率和热诚，加上他的敢怒敢言的风范，在处事上较立场分明，甚至甘冒摘冠之险都力挺伸张正义。过去在媒体上的勇于发表政见，翁诗杰显露一股不畏强权且具备远见和为理想而战的形象，他的贡献的确令人有目共睹。他是个素来深受文化素养的领袖，具备广扩的视野胸襟来表态，从来不给人居高临下的错感，反而是对于不平事件有理据争，周旋到底的坚定立场性格体现。我深信由他来带领马华面对未来挑战，迎向大方向的话，是为最佳人选。尤其在马华面对低潮政涯艰辛时刻，整个政党的存在价值几乎需靠最高层的领导人以民为本和富有策略性的领导人来护驾领航。这一次他表示不搞帮派或任何的山头主义，乃至空乏无值理念之谈，反而以最佳的全党团队精神来工作，是非常值得嘉许的态度。所以我希望马华中央代表上下能给予翁诗杰大力的支持。只有在强大的支持后盾之下，我以他的一句名言「惟有再创」，党有能力再次改造命运和建立有未来突破与前途希望。

除了翁诗杰，还有谁？

~无名使者

不知道翁诗杰能当总会长吗？但是，现在的马华除了翁诗杰外，我们不知道还有谁可以领导马华。虽然说蔡细历是人才，但是领袖必须是才德兼备的，无德何以成大将呢？

马华的领袖向来喜欢走中庸路线，但是现在马华经历308政治海啸后，马华必须走向改革路线，不能走保守路线，必须走向跟以往不同的路线，要敢敢改变了，摒弃过去的朋党路线，所以我赞成翁诗杰的不结党的竞选策略，马华不要朋党，要走团结路线。

我不是马华党员，308的时候，也是让火箭升空的一分子；但是，我尊敬翁诗杰，因为翁诗杰的敢怒敢言，有人说他是做戏，但是过去的干捞及反对马华收购南洋的事件，证明翁诗杰还有胆量“做戏”，总比一些马华领袖连做戏的勇气都没有，躲在巫统的sarung里面。

翁诗杰不当马华总会长，只能让马华走入历史，多几支火箭升空而已。

Future Leader Of MCA

Eric Choo Wei Sern

President Of MCA Club United Kingdom (2007/2008)

The March 2008 General Election (GE) has a significant impact on the Malaysian political scene which, amongst others, serves as a wake-up call to the Malaysian leaders. The election results showed the people’s wants for betterment, for leaders who could speak up, and not leaders who follow blindly. In terms of this, Datuk Ong Tee Keat is one of the few Malaysian leaders who could stand up proudly looking at his track records. He has been known for his courage to speak up against the wrongs and stood by the rights. It is thus no wonder why he is loved by the rakyats who endorsed him to be our leader.


Also, it is proven from this GE that the cyberspace is the new way forward where leaders of all backgrounds could either convene messages to the people or receive feedbacks from them. Personal websites and/ or blogs allow leaders to depict the true and accurate situation to the laypersons and serves as a platform for these leaders to know the woes of the rakyats. Despite being in politics for over 20 years, Datuk Ong has not lost his touch with the rakyats. He has lived along, and adapted, with the changes in this sophisticated era by setting up his own website (http://www.ongteekeat.net/) where he could utilise these advantages offered by the cyberspace, both for himself and the rakyats.


Moreover, he is a scholar who excels in three of the main languages (Bahasa Malaysia, English and Mandarin) as evident from his speeches and writings. His articulate and erudite delivery makes him a very convincing and admirable leader.

My Ministry Of Transport Journey

By Chow Kum Hor

Deciding to work for Datuk Ong Tee Keat in the Ministry of Transport was one of those come-what-may moments. The offer came rather unexpectedly, not too long after the watershed March 8 general election.

At that time, it seemed rather silly to jump into an unfamiliar territory. For starters, the threat of the government crumbling via crossovers was a big concern. For me, that scenario, if turns out to be true, would render me jobless faster than the fall of five states during the poll. And then, there was this uncertainty over the MCA elections. Again, the political dynamics in the party was very fluid then (it still is) and my job security hinges on the boss' political survival. To top it off, I was fairly comfortable as a journalist, the only trade I had ever known then.

Still, I took the Giant Leap of Faith. At that time, I had only a vague idea of what I am getting myself into. But my gut-feeling was loud and clear: Go with a capital "G".

Three months on, I still have moments when I question if I had made the right move. But so far, it's been one helluva journey. And I look forward to the road ahead.

与他的第一次近距离接触

~林恩霆

在我少年的记忆里，翁诗杰只不过是一个政治人物，没有特别的突出。这一个定位停留在803前……

马青803事件后，老爸指着电视新闻告诉我说，“你看，马华也学台湾立委打架了！”我心中对此感到羞耻，因为代表华人的马华促使了政党暴力的发生。这一刻，翁诗杰的大名才渐渐地把我的目光给吸引过去，也让我对翁诗杰有了一定的认识。

上了大学后，我当选国大学生代表，有机会与高官显要接触。记得第一次与翁诗杰接触是在大学内的一个华语歌曲创作发表会的开幕礼上，我当时代表学生会担任此创作发表会的大会主席，而莅临开幕的嘉宾正是翁诗杰。

那一个晚上，我代表筹委会招呼了我们的翁大侠，坐在他的身旁，聆听他的鼓励与肯定，最让我记忆深刻的便是那一句，“我今天来到这里，就是要告诉校方，华裔生的活动不该被欺压；既然署理副校长也来了，那更好，我就是要讲给他听！”翁大侠上台演讲的每一句话深得华裔生的欢心，因为该项活动虽步入第9届， 但却是首次把这一个活动搬进国大礼堂的舞台。这一个意义再加上翁大侠的措辞强烈，让华裔生顿时感受到团结就是力量，而隐藏着的意义更是此活动是由校方因是单一种族学会而不受承认的团体所主办的。因此，翁大侠也不顾忌主办团体的合法性，坚持与国大学生会推崇各华裔生的活动，当中包括了佛光山的盂兰节盛会。

当晚的发表会结束后，同学陆续到我身旁给予祝贺，当中有人询问我站在翁诗杰身边的感觉，我回答道：“翁诗杰好‘大只’哦！如果他跌倒的话，肯定把我给压扁！”

翁诗杰除了给我很“大只”的感觉外，也让我意识到作为华裔的代表，我们要付出的不只是努力地工作，而且还需要莫大的勇气去呛声！
