DAP berforum isu cerpen kontroversi
Oct 21, 08 11:50am
kemaskini 5:33pm Selepas mengkritiknya di Parlimen dan membawanya ke balai polis, DAP terus membangkitkan cerpen kontroversi ‘Politik Baru YB J’, yang mengisahkan pembunuhan seorang ahli parlimen wanita Cina, dalam forum.
Karya kreatif Datuk Chamil Wariya, bekas pengarang kanan Utusan Malaysia, didakwa mempunyai kaitan dengan wakil rakyat parti itu Teresa Kok.
Chamil, yang juga ketua pegawai eksekutif Institut Akhbar Malaysia, bagaimanapun menafikannya.
Selain Teresa sendiri dan tokoh utama DAP Lim Kit Siang sebagai pembicara, forum bertajuk ‘Assassinating a YB versus Press Freedom’ turut disertai ahli parlimen PAS Khalid Samad, ahli akademik Dr Azmi Sharom, peguam Haris Ibrahim dan editor Rocket Wan Hamidi Hamid.
Forum, yang terbuka kepada orang ramai dan dijadual bermula jam 8 malam Khamis ini selama lebih dua jam, diadakan di Dewan Perhimpunan Cina Selangor, Kuala Lumpur.
Dihubungi Malaysiakini semalam, Chamil turut menolak dakwaan bahawa karyanya itu “menganjurkan kekerasan dan bermain dengan api” kerana memuatkan babak pembunuhan ahli politik.
Khamis lepas, DAP membuat laporan polis berhubung cerpen itu yang diterbitkan di Mingguan Malaysia, 12 Oktober lepas, dengan dakwaan ia ditujukan kepada Teresa, yang juga exco kanan kerajaan Selangor.
Manakala Lim pula membidas karya itu di Dewan Rakyat minggu lepas dengan menyifatkan ‘Politik baru YB J’ itu sebagai “tidak bertanggungjawab”.
Sementara itu, sambil mengutuk penerbitan cerpen itu, sekumpulan NGO termasuk gerakan wanita dan mahasiswa mendesak pengarangnya dan akhbar berkenaan memohon maaf dan menarik balik karya itu.
“Untuk menyatakan kekesalannya, pengarang boleh berkhidmat kepada masyarakat di salah sebuah pusat khidmat Yang Berhormat itu (Teresa),” kata 18 organisasi tersebut dalam kenyataan bersama.
Badan-badan itu termasuk All Women Action Society (Awam), Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI), Sisters in Islam (SIS), Gerakan Demokratik Belia dan Pelajar Malaysia (Dema), Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) dan Persatuan Bantuan Wanita (WAO).
Character assassination, tarnish of name, smearing of dignity and honor, dig out the mistake and sin of those days, framing and delusion of report to control and suppress other dominance in politic is not a new strategy in hampering wining gain.
So in all area every path, speech, action has to be truly discipline to serve the order of public and political opposition attacks and views.
Think first before say or think first before act this will bring an edge before implementation. So easy to say but the action of such a statement is always goes against with our emotion, pride, and ego and avenges the source of our internal adversary.
Religious practices always speak about the devil in us, Satan that demonizes us and evil within us.
Character of discipline is a ground that many successful and champion of people do exalt. Evil will take control of us when we make money as master, personally coveting gain, rule over like a lord, stirring up division and racist sentiment, commit murder, suppressing democratic freedom, affliction and suffering to the people. This is the trait that we will NOT compromise in electing our representative.
Think about it because the element of evil within will definitely make the representative covet and lust after their personal gain and selfishness.
Teresa, this is a good opportunity to invite these two, Rocky bru and chamil to be speakers at the Forum. I would’nt think they have the ba**s to accept.
Hiding inside the sarong of their political masters is what they do best.
previously, when DAP was opposition through and through, BN component parties deride it as, “only knows how to talk and do not know how to get things done. or words to that effect.
with UMNO now as opposition in Selangor, it seems that it has not been as credible as DAP as an opposition party. I recall many verbal attacks by DAP on issues, and cannot recall any on personality.
we now perhaps can make a assessment as to which side can accept the flows and ebbs of democracy better.
INCITING VIOLENCE!
