蔡总,谁在乎首相的肤色?


华人能否当首相?这是建国数十年来让华社浮想联翩的一道命题。然而,随着时间的推进及局势的演变,华社目前还有多少人在乎首相人选的肤色;或者说,还有多少个华人视“华人当首相”为最迫切的诉求?

在马华总会长蔡细历的认知里,华社应该非常在乎华人能否当首相,否则他也不会公开揶揄“林冠英就算割掉(包皮)也不能当首相”!姑且不论堂堂总会长遣词用字之粗鄙,问题是,林冠英何时说过他很想当首相?

从政治操作来看,要是林冠英敢在现阶段宣称自己很想当首相,等同于把自己送到由巫统所掌控的马来报章和电子媒体的砧板上,为早已进行得如火如荼的“行动党欺压马来人”的抹黑行动增加弹药。

再说,当今华社要求的是公平对待,只要首相人选以及他所领导的团队是一个实施良政、公平对待各族的政府,谁在乎他是马来人、华人、印度人、卡达山人还是伊班人?

要是无法达到人民的期望,甚至沦为一党独大之下的傀儡领袖,就算让华人当上了政府首长,那又有什么意思?你回顾一下许子根担任槟州首长的经历就好了。

所以,揶揄行动党就算在民联执政后,也只能受委为内阁部长,而无缘出任首相,这非但不是一个紧扣民心的论述,反而暴露出这位马华总会长思想格局的狭隘。

马华不妨深入华社去作一个民调,以研究华社对两线制的期盼,是期望看到一个更廉洁、更公平、更尊重民主精神的政府;还是如蔡总会长所说的,是希望林冠英去割包皮当首相?

当然,要是回到宪法精神来探讨这个问题,不论是任何肤色的马来西亚人,都有资格出任首相。奈何,政治现实不是学术研究。美国建国200多年后,才出了第一个非白人的总统。我们当然不希望等到200年后才出现第一个非马来人首相,而我们希望看到非马来人也能担任首相,要突出的并非“华人当首相”,而是“任何一个马来西亚人都可以出任首相”。

纵使种族政治在308后略有消退,不容否认的是,由于最主要的种族政党依然执掌我国中央政权,对种族情绪的操弄依然是最廉价的政治手段,看看由这个政党所掌控的媒体所炒作的课题就一叶知秋了。

在这个时刻高喊“华人当首相”,不但没有效果,反而会因此而陷入种族政治的圈套,模糊了当前华社、甚至整个国家最迫切的诉求。为了保住自己遥遥欲坠的政治利益,乐于配合这种混淆华社焦点的狭隘政客,所展现的也不过其穷途末路的窘况。

现阶段,我们最在乎的不是为首相者的肤色,而是他的施政,与蔡总共勉之。

I glance through Oriental Daily website and Dong Zong deputy chairman said he had evidence that MCA had agreed in 1995 not to grant additional Chinese school. Wee Kia Siong had said if any one can produce evidence ,he will be the first one to leave MCA. So action now deputy Minister of Education!

現代世界政治體系裏,有膚色態度的社會是最洛後的。美國是近代一百年種族主義最嚴重的國家,但在民運後五十年竟然有個黑人縂統,所以美國保持世界第一強國的地位。這是馬來西亞要認真學習。蔡老大己是過時人物。

Since his elected as president of MCA about 3 years ago, at the primary stage all eyes are in anticipate if he be able to deliver and implement a series of creative ideas to rescue the party and unite them to face general election for his first acid test lead by him. However, he did introduced new strategy by 'speak loud' to rise high tone to the chinese community, blame them for not supporting the party, order and threatern them that they were be loosing chinese representative in government from cabinet to the state exco and in local government if their election results were to be worst than 308 election. Further more in a series of people actions against corruptions, request for clean and fair election, Lynas issue and educations problems in their public appeals, as a head of the party has not been able and has no new ideology to overcome instead talked his own language in favorable to government. Hence has great disappointment by the chinese community. As his strategy failed to gain support, this has caused him even brains bankrupt recently as he just spoke dirty with unbearable quoted words to accuse the opponent. His statement not only attacked by the opponent but from his party members as well.Even someone has asked BN to sack him out for his series of bad, rude and arrogant performance as he could not help the BN and his party instead will killed more votes as his actions has annoyed too many people recently. With such low class of political challenge he should realized to step down and pave way for new talent and capable leader so that to rescue his party from landed in Holland in the coming 13th general election. Infact he is no better than any other previous leaders tracked record from his short term in office.
