翁诗杰不是独行侠

马华党选正如火如荼进行,适逢大马政坛动荡,马华领导层的选举,对华社与国家都有影响。而这么多职位中,总会长的职位至为关键,而拿督翁诗杰是首位声明竞选总会长。笔者与翁诗杰相熟,愿在此与大家分享我所认识的翁诗杰。

在2005年,笔者由于获知欧盟的Erasmus Mundus教育基金与奖学金计划,要求翁诗杰协助推动,他一口答应。笔者安排翁诗杰到欧盟大使馆与欧盟大使会面交流,并举行记者发布会。在安排过程中,发现大使馆的官员对我国的领袖并不十分敬仰,在他们心目中都是第三世界的土王吧!但在大使接见翁诗杰过程中,其大将之风,精炼的外交手腕,改变了他们的看法。

过后,为了加强与欧盟的联系,翁诗杰也与德国、法国、俄罗斯文化与教育参赞等会面交流。他的博学,语言的造诣,见到法国人谈法国文学、见到德国人讨论德国的工程,领袖的风范,展露无遗。而欧盟Erasmus Mundus计划的主任就曾经十分赞赏说翁诗杰可以担任欧盟此计划的大使。

当时笔者也感到翁诗杰是困在小池塘的一条龙。他不仅可在国内,也可在国际舞台展现英姿。但这条龙颇有涵养与耐性,不急不躁,在等待时机。

笔者所认识的翁诗杰也是很喜欢交朋友的人。当遇到他喜欢交的朋友,他会亲切把个人的手机号码与电邮信箱交上,要求对方随时与他联络,并说如果联络不上,那可能就是他在演讲,对方可留下口讯,他演讲完就会回电。他的这些小动作使人觉得他是真有诚意交朋友,而不是喜欢在官场上勾搭,互相利用那类。

此外翁诗杰在报上痛斥"干捞",但私底下也常听到他批评贪污腐败。可见他还是表里一致的人。

曾听说翁诗杰在党内开完会,不喜欢埋堆去吃吃喝喝、热闹一番,所以就给他一个"独行侠"标签。这扭曲与掩盖了他擅长外交,诚以待人,与当官多年还保持赤子之心的一面。

其实,马华公会经过308的政治海啸后,急须扩大自己的政治版图与影响力.曾经有人说过马华公会是"头脑简单,四肢发达"的庞然大物。这句话听在马华公会诸公耳里,可能不服气。或者因马华公会受制于人,自我压抑太久了,脑已麻木;另一方面,马华基层领袖,个个都是干劲非凡,喜事、丧事、开幕、闭幕、剪彩一天跑数十场,面不改色,因此让人产生了这样的印象。

要扩大政治版图,马华的领袖必须有威望,不只在华社,也必须在其他社群受人景仰。笔者在科学团体活动一段时期,早期曾经拉拢一些科学界学者与马青合作,但不得要领,其中部分原因是接受教育源流不同,思想上难以沟通,以及马青在他们心目中威望不足。

可是,翁诗杰在协助笔者推动科技创业中,发现他能与各族科学学者中建立一定的威望与情谊。深感他具有领袖的魅力与知识分子的气息。

根据我观察,马华的基层主要建立在新村与小乡镇。随着教育的提高,中产阶级的增加。除了巩固自己的传统地垒,马华也应把触角伸向知识分子与组织,吸引各族社会精英,兼容并蓄。而翁诗杰可以扮演这桥樑吸引各界的精英,凝集所有中庸、有良知与知识的力量,缓冲与抗衡极端、腐败与愚昧的力量。这是很多知识分子与普罗大众包括我对翁诗杰的期许。

而目前翁诗杰这个华社的人才如得到各方配合,相信能在这方面发出一定的力量。所谓物尽其用,人尽其才,要怎么用,借看马华各位代表的慧眼了。

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。

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。
