Although the opposition parties have won quite a number of seats and managed to break the two thirds majority in the Parliament, the general elections of 2008 was still a very unfair and unjust election. I received a lot of complaints from voters, i.e voters’ names missing, voting address being transferred to Kelantan and elsewhere,…
Thank you Seputeh, thank you Kinrara!
Dear Friends, I apologise for taking more than a week before thanking you all for backing me and my party to a historic victory. I have been busy thanking voters and busy with party matters after polling day, that’s why i did not have time to blog and even check email. Many voters want to…
Evidence of BN Sending Phantom Voters to Kelantan?
Today is the last day of the election campaign. I did my level best in my walkabouts campaign in a few areas in the Seputeh and Kinrara constituencies – as we near the final hours of the campaign period. At about 4pm, when I was resting at my Kinrara office, I was informed by…
Red Paint Splashed At My Kinrara Office
Yesterday morning, I was informed by member that a packet of red paint was thrown to my office at midnight the night before, after the successful mammoth ceramah at Puchong Jaya. Who do you suspect? Isn’t this against the slogan of BN manifesto “Aman, Makmur & Selamat”?
女人何苦为难女人
My friend Yong Sun Yong wrote a piece on the caricature bill board and published on Kwong Hwa daily. He is always so supportive to me. teresa 女人何苦为难女人 二零零八年三月五日 上午十时十一分 文:杨善勇 角逐吉隆坡士布爹国会的周紫琳为了严打对手,一口气在选区十个策略地点设立显示意淫意味的漫画看板,把郭素沁画成一个身穿鲜红贴身裙子,脚穿艳红高跟鞋的女人,遗弃”旧爱”士布爹先生之后,转向”新欢”Mr金銮镇投怀送抱。 十个看板一出,犹如十刀齐发,结果投诉不停,抗议四起。马华大选行动室主任黄思华唯有”再转变”,宣布拆除所有看板,并对”当地选民和郭素沁表示遗憾”。 黄思华认真地解释,”国阵只是想通过有关广告,向选民传达讯息,即代议士不可能同时兼顾国州两个选区,并未贬低女性之义”。要是这样,所谓”贪新忘旧”是什么意思呢? 我们应当知道,郭素沁没有抛弃忘旧:她仍然留在士布爹继续耕耘。如果黄思华是要暗示素沁不能兼顾国州,适合的成语应是中性式的”一箭双雕”、责难式的 “得陇望蜀” 或者诅咒式的”顾此失彼”。 可惜,宣传的单位舍弃这些通通不用,偏爱兼带贬义的”贪新忘旧”。由此错笔可见我们的中文程度,的确不够伟哥,急待学养深厚的中文系博士特别补习,以便加强中文广告用字的及格率。 然则,此乃小事。关键的要害是,为何周紫琳至今不能明白〈女人何苦为难女人〉的意思:女人何苦为难女人,我们一样有最脆弱的灵魂;世界男子已经太会伤人,你怎么忍心再给郭素沁伤痕?
马华拆除“贪新忘旧”广告,女权组织抨周紫琳性别歧视
http://www.malaysiakini.com/cn/ 当今大马 3-3-2008 马华士布爹国席候选人周紫琳的“贪新忘旧”广告牌弄巧反挫,可说搬石头砸到自己的脚,除了引起对手郭素沁的强烈抗议,今天两个女性组织更分别发表文告抨击马华这种广告方式,并表达它们的“十分失望”和“心寒”。 这个广告以漫画手法呈现,广告右侧,一名貌似郭素沁的女主角依偎环抱着一壮汉“金銮区先生”。广告左侧,则黯然蹲坐着“旧爱士布爹先生”,苦思“亲爱的,你在那里?”。广告正上方是“贪新忘旧”四个字。 昨日,布爹国席候选人郭素沁召开记者会,怒斥马华这个“贪新忘旧”广告牌影射她是个“朝三暮四”的女人,对她的人格进行侮辱。 “周紫琳不尊重女性强化父权” 今天,独立新闻中心(CIJ)强烈谴责马华士布爹国席候选人周紫琳使用“极端性别歧视的广告牌”这样的伎俩来打击对手郭素沁。 独立新闻中心执行主任嘉雅特莉(V.Gayathry)表示,她对这种将郭素沁影射为“放荡”的举动“十分失望”,因为周紫琳身为女人,竟使用如此糟糕的手段来攻击其政治对手。 “周紫琳跟她的国阵同僚无异,都不尊重女性,同时强化父权和性别歧视的环境。” 嘉雅特莉呼吁周紫琳撤下这些广告牌,同时向郭素沁和马来西亚女性道歉,因为他们已被国阵所推动的这样政治形态所触怒。 嘉雅特莉强调,尽管国阵派出了更多的女性候选人,但假若它的候选人,无论男或女,不能拥有性别敏感度,那么一切都是枉然的。

Protest Against Sexist Caricature Bill Board
This morning I called a press conference together with a group of residents and supporters at Happy Garden adjacent to the two offending sexist caricature on bill boards erected by MCA Seputeh. In reply, we have put up a banner with Chinese and English wordings stating: “MCA uses women to discriminate women” Some women folks…
