馬華關丹區會四虎將,孫詩傳(左起)、鄭聯科、劉榮俊及陶啟順。
關丹馬華4虎坐鎮

報導:何月雲

(關丹13日訊)虎年到來,馬華關丹區會頓時虎虎生威,黨中4高層皆是在虎年出生的虎將,區會內一片“虎聲虎氣”!
該區會內的“四虎將”,分別是于1962年10月25日出生的區會主席拿督鄭聯科、1962年9月11日出生的署理主席劉榮俊、1962年3月20日出生的副主席拿督孫詩傳及1962年8月1日出生的副主席陶啟順。

互相扶持服務社群

據劉榮俊及陶啟順指出,除了鄭氏外,其余3人更是從小學就開始認識的好朋友,3人的友情培養于就讀中菁華小,更延續至丹那布爹中學及踏出社會后至今。
“當時,我們並不認識鄭聯科,是在加入馬華后才認識他的。”
鄭氏家鄉是在勞勿,他在后期才結識另3人,難能可貴的是,他們志同道合,都愛服務人群,所以都不約而同的加入了馬華,也因為馬華,拉近彼此間的關係,有共同理念的人,自然就走在一起。
4虎將走在一起,比的不是誰比誰兇,而是互相指點及扶持,共同服務社群。
鄭聯科指出,與該3人認識了十余年,大家已是無話不談的好朋友。
4人的友誼可從前年的308大選時,鄭氏遭割愛不獲委派上戰為候選人及大選后,在馬華改選期間,鄭氏區會主席職受到州議員挑戰時,4人仍緊緊連接在一起可印證。
鄭氏曾在一項活動上時對記者指出,在患難時,最容易看出誰才是真心朋友。
而在鄭氏遇到阻難期間,其身旁的友人,包括那三虎將,都一直緊隨身旁,默默給予支持,在行動上已證明了這“4只老虎”友誼的深厚,更打破了一山不能藏“二虎”的解說。
4虎將新願望

政治穩定國泰民安
◆鄭聯科:
去年國家發生很多事情,希望虎年的到來,國家政治能穩定下來,國泰民安。
關丹方面,也有很多變動,隨著人口增加,組織應該擴大網絡,吸引更多外資前來投資。
新一年,希望大家都朝向國家發展路線前進,達致和諧穩定局面。

各族共享國家資源
◆劉榮俊:
最重要是國家、馬華及華團團結一致,任何事情都要互相禮讓,全面配合。同時,政府也必須確保華裔能分享國家財富和資源。

放下成見和氣生財
◆孫詩傳:
虎年到來,希望各行各業虎虎生威,就好像老虎一樣威猛。至于馬華方面,希望大家讓過去的成為過去,團結一致為國家謀福利。所謂和氣生財,希望大家放下成見,朝向“一個馬來西亞”概念走去。

經濟成長安居樂業
◆陶啟順:
希望馬華會更好,黨爭盡速落幕,大家一團和氣。我也希望國家經濟能持續成長,人民安居樂業。

馬華派發活動經費午宴區會領袖大團結出席

(關丹7日訊)馬華東彭及中彭各區會領袖今日展現大團結,一起出席總會長派發區會活動基金經費午宴!
在東彭,向來支持廖派的英迪拉馬哥打區會主席拿督彭子明州議員及巴耶勿剎區會主席吳复興上議員也有出席該午宴。
其余6個出席午宴的區會包括關丹區會主席鄭聯科、而連突區會主席拿督劉震林、北根區會主席陳延明、馬蘭區會主席拿督周良、淡馬魯區會主席拿督蔡文祥州議員及雲冰區會主席拿督胡逢德。

冀馬華穩定

由于總會長拿督斯里翁詩傑因動了小手術后,行動不便而缺席,無論如何,他會派出代表總秘書出席。
同時,馬華總秘書拿督王茀明上議員在會上致詞時指出,今天的選民所要的是廉潔、公正、透明及有效率的政府,因此,政黨必須朝向選民所需而作出改革及轉型。
他說,在黨中央方面,他們已通過進行各種計劃來達成以上目標。
“雖然黨內仍有問題,可是,大家都希望看到黨穩定下來。”


鄭聯科:慕尤丁應勸部長尊重民主

鄭聯科:慕尤丁應勸部長尊重民主
2010-02-07 16:47
(彭亨‧關丹)馬華中委拿督鄭聯科認為副首相丹斯里慕尤丁公開點名馬華須立即解決黨爭之舉無補於事;反之,副首相應直接勸告不遵守民主精神及黨章的內閣級領袖才有效。

“馬華的情況是,一些領袖口口聲聲要求民主,但是卻不遵守民主精神下‘少數服從多數’原則;大嚷遵守黨章,本身卻不根據黨章行事,眼中並沒黨及黨主席的存在。”
他說,這些領袖並不聽從總會長的指示,甚至製造黨外力量向黨施壓。

他於今日(週日,2月7日)出席馬華關丹區會舉辦“2010年華裔樂齡人士農曆新年紅包頒發會”後說,在黨內挑起爭議者,只是一小撮擔任部長級的高層領袖和媒體的炒作,而黨基層根本與這些爭議沒有直接的關係。
“因此,慕尤丁沒必要公開放話,此舉只會令情況更糟糕。他應該利用身為副首相的身份,直接勸告有問題的國陣內閣部長尊重民主精神及黨章,才能有效平息黨爭風波。”
詢及是否會接受副首相的勸告,願意扮演角色再作馮婦,向廖派招手以達到黨團結之目標,鄭氏並未正面回應,只是促請副首相深入瞭解馬華黨爭源由,並勸告相關的馬華內閣部長。

一家八口擠小木屋‧丈夫當散工日賺10令吉撐家

星洲日報/東海岸‧2010.02.02


(彭亨‧關丹)一家八口擠在破舊小木屋裡,每日只靠一雙手賺取日薪10令吉度日。
這一家八口,一對年輕夫妻及6名年齡介於3歲至11歲的孩子,便是擠一間由零散木板搭建而成的小木屋,每日省吃儉用的以2令吉作為每日菜錢。
二女兒患癌症
不但如此,這個家庭的6名孩子里,其中11歲的二女兒患有癌症,必須每月兩次前往關丹東姑安潘雅富珊醫院治療,而最年幼的3歲女兒則患有C型肝炎。


廖淑芬:沒大馬卡無法工作

孩子們的母親廖淑芬(30歲)指出,本身原是印裔,但從小已被送給華裔家庭領養,她本身更是沒有大馬卡。“因為沒有身份證,所以我想做工幫補家裡也不能,只能靠丈夫做漁船維修散工養家。”
她說,由於家貧,領養她的雙親經常從家鄉斯里再也,不時送糧食到其家接濟她及孩子們。

沒水電供應
此外,她透露,這個位於英迪拉布原住民村落的屋子沒有水電供應,所以只能靠轉駁附近親友的電流供應。
另一方面,廖淑芬指出,其丈夫鄭光榮(34歲)是一名原住民與華裔的混血兒,而其6名孩子依序是長女儀雯(11歲,年初出生)、次女儀玲(11歲,年尾出生)、儀婷(10歲)、長男光良(8歲)及幼女思心(3歲)。
“一個大馬社區服務”計劃
馬華助申請基設援助

馬華關丹區會允諾協助廖淑芬一家人,以為其破舊的小木屋申請接駁水電供應。
主席拿督鄭聯科指出,馬華將在“一個馬來西亞社區服務”計劃下,嘗試為廖氏一家人申請基本設施援助。
“‘一個馬來西亞社區服務’還沒有正式被推介,但我們已在試跑這計劃,包括尋找有需要的家庭。因此,廖氏一家是我們第一個推荐申請這計劃的家庭,在這項計劃下,受惠的家庭可獲得1萬令吉援助金,作為改善他們生活設備的基金。”不過,他表示,申請家庭必須符合基本條件,包括他們所居住的地址,是他們所擁有的土地。“所以我們目前必須先調查這塊土地,是否屬於他們所有,然後再依據不同需求給予他們幫助。”
探訪了廖氏一家後,鄭氏也代表區會捐獻款項給他們,並贈送2箱年柑作為應節物品。
隨行包括關丹區團團長趙毓庭、劉金丹、羅秀龍等。

羅永梅回家了

(關丹11日訊)流浪女羅永梅指出,回到家真好,家是一個溫暖的地方!
“很好,真的很好,回家了,我不會再出去了,我害怕遇上壞人。”
她也承諾,往后不會在外流浪,只是偶爾仍會到外逛街,但一定會回家。
“我很害怕,當我在外流浪時,我遇上一名男子,他一手拿針筒對著我,一手伸出來,問我要錢還是要命。”
她說,她當時以為一定沒命了,幸好有警員路過,救了她一命。
她說,她現在的情況好多了,腳腫部分也沒有那么痛了,並將于本月21日回到醫院復診。
“當時,我的腳很痛,我怕到流淚,我還以為自己一定會死呢。”
永梅是于昨午,獲醫生允許 ,並在雙親陪伴下,從關丹中央醫院返家。
馬青關丹區團團長趙毓庭,連同馬華輔導員張錦璇、馬青關丹區團先鋒隊隊長盧意寶及馬青關丹區團委員胡偉成,昨晚前往永梅雙親在阿益布爹的住家探訪她們。
永梅面對眾人的到訪,侃侃而談,說到激動處時,更比手劃腳的。
張錦璇問起永梅年齡后, 贊她年輕,永梅指出,“沒有年輕,我戴了眼鏡,所以看上去比較年輕。”
永梅在整個過程上對答如流,只是偏愛重複她被一名男人恐嚇的部分,並一在強調她在外流浪是發高燒造成的,並非有精神病。
永梅母親謝來嬌指出,讓永梅出外“見識”一下后,這一次永梅再也不敢出外遊蕩了。
“不然,她還會到處亂跑的。”
她說,永梅不聽話,父母勸告也不聽。
永梅聽了母親所言后,向張錦璇解釋,她很固執,所以被視為不聽話。
“我不需看心理醫生”離家出走只因發燒
永梅指出,她是因為發高燒才會在外流浪,當時,她父母並不瞭解她!
她說,她的問題只是她的腳部罷了。
“我的精神很正常,我不用看心理醫生,除非我有精神病,才需要看心理醫生。”
張錦璇問及她的心裡感受時,永梅指出,退燒了,還好 。
張氏也問及永梅是否愛她的父母、尊敬他們時,永梅說,可以,並有尊敬他們。
永梅說,雙親不曾打過她,他們很疼愛她,每年都為她辦生日會。
詢及她在外流浪,何以為家時,她說,她起初是住在朋友家,較后,因腳腫了,才睡在舊車內。
詢及她的未來打算時,她說,等她休養后,過了農曆新年,將會尋找工作做,並會幫媽媽做家務、給父母家用。
她也承諾,會每天洗澡。
“我是怕冷,所以不敢洗澡。”
詢及她如何證明不會再流浪時,她說,她的父母是最好證明。
永梅父親羅興財指出,出去了,會回來沒關系,可是她(永梅)卻不會回來。
“她在外流浪時,如果沒有飯吃,就會回家吃飯,吃完飯就走了。”
他說,工作忙碌,也不曉得上那兒去找永梅。
趙毓庭:續輔導跟進案件
趙毓庭指出,經過馬青協助,安排永梅入院觀察及家訪后,馬華也將安排張錦璇為跟進該案,給予永梅一些輔導。
他說,經過此事后,希望永梅瞭解在外流浪的危險,身為父母者也須關注孩子的動向。
“我希望社會關注此類問題。”
此外,張錦璇也說,將繼續探訪永梅,以給予幫助。

How low must we go to accommodate 'Third Force'?


I refer to the Malaysiakini report MCA VP Liow leads 13 to quit CC.

I have refrained from writing on the MCA to allow all parties to have a cooling-off period. In order to achieve a consensus towards a fresh election, all parties must unite on a common platform under the supervision of the 'Special Committee for Fresh Party Election' formed to build this consensus in the interests of the MCA.

The central committee had unanimously formed this committee chaired by Chua Soi Lek to iron out the technicalities towards a fresh party election. EvenMCA President Ong Tee Keat had humbly refrained from commenting on this issue with due respect to the committee formed by the party.

Why then is 'Liow Tiong Lai & Gang' staging a very public 'resignation' at a time when the prime minister's hands are full with many other national issues such as the MACC, the BTN, the Nazri-Mahathir spat, the PKFZ persecutions, etc?

Ideally and spiritually, the understanding is that we must all work together in unison, quietly ironing out the differences and agreeing to the approaches for a fresh election without compromising or breaching the sanctity and supremacy of the MCA constitution.

The perceived sovereignty of the MCA is equaly important to ensure that the party's image, independence and dignity is safeguarded and maintained.

All MCA leaders have taken their oath and pledge to uphold the MCA constitution. We have pledged to abide and uphold the provisions of the MCA constitution. We do not want a repeat of 2002 when the MCA constitution was 'raped' on directives from forces outside the party.

That was the darkest point of our MCA's history and I have since then lost all my respect for the leadership of Ling Liong Sik/Ong Ka Ting and Lim Ah Lek/Chan Kong Choy. They had collectively failed the party and the community.

All CC members have agreed to refrain from making public statements on the 'fresh election' while the Special Committee deliberates towards a consensus. With discipline, we could have all waited for the recommendations of this Special Committee and signed our resignation letters together towards a fresh election upon taking into considerations the Special Committee's recommendations. We could have all done so in the interests of the party.

But again the Special Committee's functions have been hijacked and disrupted by the indiscipline of this same ferocious gang. The 'Third Force' has created a rift between the president and his deputy. The Third Force had orchestrated the EGM. The Third Force had obstructed and hijacked the 'Greater Unity Plan'.

How low must we go to accommodate the aggressiveness of the Third Force? Back to the questions in my head today:

1. Why did Liow orchestrate a very public tendering of an insufficient number of 'false resignations'? Is he showing that he is now the 'boss' or diverting attention from the MACC inquiry on his special birthday gift to his wife?

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/120015

2. Liow should have respected the Special Committee that was formed and approved by the central committee. If the president can humble himself and subscribe to the party's decisions, who is the vice-president to display his arrogance and disregard for the party?

3. Liow himself is a member of the Special Committee so why is he discussing issues outside of the committee without regard for decorum and discipline of the party? Where is the discipline and the leadership by example of a good leader?

4. Why must there be a pubic display of a 'signing ceremony' for 'non-resignations' or 'conditional resignations' before the secretary-general? Why should the secretary-general be a party to such indiscipline and political theatrics?

5. Didn't the secretary-general send a couriered letter of resignation to all the elected central committee members? This procedure was approved and agreed to by the Special Committee of which Liow is a member but he himself is not respecting such a civil method.

6. Why are our leaders not respecting the MCA headquarters? If there is any resignation, just tender the same to the party HQ. Why are our leaders not showing the due respect to our party? Where is our discipline and order?

7. Are we starting a rebellious political culture by quietly whispering and misleading the members on the ground that all this is endorsed by 'atas'? Who are the 'atas'? Do this 'atas' really support such indiscipline in the MCA?

8. Lastly, I must say that Liow's theatrics are very similar to our 'Renaissance Man' Anwar Ibrahim. Did Liow learn them from Anwar or his political master Chan Kong Choy?

Liow has the best of public relations skill second only nto his 'master'. Chan is media savvy and is an expert on public relations. He had the Chinese media and NGO's kowtowing him when he was in power. He knows how and when to steal the thunder and when to avoid the lightning...

Will the prime minister or deputy prime minister endorsed the remnants of Anwar's or Chan's political culture? Let's see...

Sebaran semula DVD Soi Lek angkara pihak ketiga

Oleh Zukri Aksah

KUANTAN, 25 Sept — Ahli MCA diminta tidak terganggu dengan kemunculan semula video seks Chua Soi Lek dalam edaran awam yang dipercayai didalangi pihak ketiga yang sengaja mahu melihat MCA berhadapan dengan risiko berantakan dan mahu menimbulkan kemarahan penyokong Chua Soi Lek terhadap Ong Tee Kiat, begitulah pesan Dato’ Ti Lian Ker, Ahli Jawatankuasa Kerja Pusat MCA.

Bekas Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Pahang selama tiga penggal ini mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya tindakan penyebaran semula DVD ini sambil menghargai tindakan terdahulu Soi Lek yang telah melepaskan semua jawatannya secara bermaruah. Bagi beliau, tidak perlulah lagi untuk memalukannya secara berterusan kerana jelas beliau sudah menerima hukumannya. Isu DVD tersebut adalah perkara malang masa lalu MCA dan akui Ti, MCA sekarang berhadapan dengan konflik kepimpinan kerananya.

Ini terbukti dengan keputusan Majlis Presiden MCA memecat Soi Lek berdasarkan rekomendasi Lembaga Disiplin telah dibatalkan dan diganti dengan hukuman gantung keahlian selama empat tahun oleh Jawatankuasa Kerja Pusat. Jelas Ti, inilah hasil dari parti yang telah retak kesatuannya dek kerana pandangan dan pendekatan yang berbeza.

Maka, bagi Ti, EGM yang dipanggil oleh parti merupakan satu keperluan wajib buat MCA sekarang, bukan bertujuan untuk memenangkan mana-mana pihak atau untuk menyingsing lengan baju beradu siapa kuat, tetapi membawa satu hasrat mulia menyatukan semula parti sejajar dengan kehendak demokrasi. EGM bakal menjadi wadah terbaik buat para perwakilan untuk menggunakan kuasa mereka dalam menentukan kompas kepimpinan parti pada masa hadapan dan menstabilkan semula parti.

Ti tegas dalam dakwaannya bahawa kemunculan semula DVD seks Soi Lek merupakan satu lagi siri tindakan tangan-tangan ghaib yang berusaha mahu membakar emosi, kemarahan dan kebencian di kalangan ahli bagi memalukan Soi Lek, tetapi dalam masa yang sama meletakkan kesalahan di bahu kepimpinan MCA sekarang. Ti malah menyedari yang wujudnya kesungguhan dari pihak ketiga ini, yang juga dari dalam parti, yang berniat mahu mengeksploitasi keadaan ini lalu mengakibatkan kemusnahan personaliti dan kredibiliti yang maksimum terhadap Ong Tee Kiat dan Chua Soi Lek.

Senario sebegini jika diterima oleh ahli MCA yang sedang marah boleh sahaja mengakibatkan kemusnahan kekal kepada parti. Pada masa itu, ujar Ti, bawalah siapa sahaja, yang sehebat mana sekalipun untuk memimpin parti, ia hanya akan menjadi kerja sia-sia.

Ti percaya bahawa pihak ketiga ini mahu mengawal kepimpinan MCA untuk motif dan agenda peribadi mereka, mereka berniat mahu menguasai kepimpinan MCA seperti mereka lakukan pada masa lalu. Ketidaksepakatan dalam MCA kebelakangan ini memberi peluang kepada pihak ini untuk bertindak “sambil menyelam minum air.”

Ti mengingatkan perwakilan yang akan hadir untuk EGM nanti supaya berhati-hati dengan tangan-tangan ghaib ini. Parti harus berani untuk terus bergerak ke hadapan dalam kerangka perjuangan lebih besar dari terperangkap dengan kenangan sejarah lalu. Untuk ini, nyata Ti, parti sangat-sangat memerlukan mandat baru dan kekuatan tambahan bagi membolehkan kepimpinan sedia ada meneruskan apa sahaja tindakan yang telah diambil.

Ti turut mengingatkan bahawa semakin hampir dengan tarikh EGM, semakin banyak onar yang akan diperbuat pihak ketiga ini dalam usaha memprovokasi emosi dan sentimen para perwakilan, maka rasionaliti, kewarasan dan kematanganlah yang perlu bagi menghadapinya.

Ti menyeru kepada semua perwakilan EGM MCA nanti, yang di tangan merekalah masa hadapan MCA dipertaruhkan supaya terus kekal tenang dan bersikap bijaksana serta teliti dalam melaksanakan hak mereka ketika mengundi dalam EGM yang telah ditetapkan pada 10 Oktober 2009. Pinta Ti, biarlah parti menjadi semakin kuat, bukan sebaliknya, demi perjuangan parti yang lebih besar dan panjang serta untuk agenda yang belum selesai.

The Nut Graph on the 3rd force

An article by Ding Jo-Ann, Sep 23, 2009
http://thenutgraph.com/third-force-trying-to-split-mca

PETALING JAYA, 23 Sept 2009: An unseen "third force" intent on destroying the MCA's image and dignity is behind the reemergence of the sex video involving Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

MCA central committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker said in a statement today that the recent circulation of the DVD was aimed at harming not just Chua but also MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

"The circulation was calculated to instill maximum damage to the party, and to arouse the anger of Chua's sympathisers against Ong," he said.

"The DVD's re-emergence is another move by unseen hands to incite emotions, anger and hatred among the members to embarrass Chua ... and damage him permanently," he added.

Ti claimed this third force was out to destabilise the MCA's leadership for their own personal gain, and added that the disagreements within the party had provided the perfect opportunity to "kill two big birds with one stone".

"This third force wants to control the MCA's leadership for their personal motive and agenda. They want to dictate to the MCA leadership as in the past. The ultimate effect of an angry MCA will result in the party being shattered permanently, and whoever leads the party subsequently will be a lame duck," Ti said.

Ti, who is also the MCA's non-governmental organisation (NGO) liaison bureau chairperson, pleaded with its members not to be distracted by the circulation of the DVD. He urged members to remain calm and focused on building a revitalised party. He also warned members to be vigilant against further attacks ahead of the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 10 Oct.

"We need to move forward ... with the larger picture instead of being stuck in the muddy waters," Ti said.

"All we need now is a fresh mandate and added strength to enable the present party leadership to continue with the course that we have taken."

As for the DVD, MCA members were told to leave the past behind them.

When the video first circulated in Johor in January 2008, Chua admitted he was the man in the DVD who was caught having sex with a woman who was not his wife. He subsequently resigned as health minister, MCA vice-president, Johor MCA chief, and from his parliamentary seat.

However, in October 2008, MCA delegates voted him in as MCA deputy president, only for Chua to be sacked from the party by MCA's disciplinary board in August 2009. This decision was subsequently overturned on 19 Sept by the MCA's central committee, and commuted to a four-year suspension.

"The central committee had recognised that Chua had discharged his duty well in the past, and there [was] no necessity to embarrass him any further," Ti said.

MCA members will be voting on five resolutions at the EGM, including on whether to reinstate Chua to his deputy president post, and on a motion of no confidence against Ong.
