张健仁:勿一直翻历史 争自主权只要3部曲

Posted: 24 Jul 2016 10:15 PM PDT

(本报古晋22日讯)砂民主行动党主席兼哥打圣淘沙区州议员张健仁今日提出三部曲,要求砂政府实际性争取自主权,第一:拥有明确议程,第二:极力争取,第三:由国会通过!

"争取自主权就是这么简单,毋须一再翻查'历史',人活在世上要展望未来,而不是活在历史,一再从MA63(1963年马来西亚合约)翻查历史,这只是在钻牛角尖。"
他解释,当初的合约,经过修改,导致权益失去,当初若非通过法令同意修改,到今日又要讨回来,甚至翻查历史记录去再去争取,这无疑是在钻牛角尖。
巫统分裂有机可趁
他强调,政治讲究实力,趁着有天时地利人和之际,若不加强自主权甚至夺回自主权,就是愧对砂人民的委托!
他认为,砂州务必要掌握目前的政治局势,如巫统四分五裂等,各地诸侯务必趁机夺回更多的自主,而刘镇东所提出的结盟论绝对是可行的方式之一!
"为了砂人民而争取,不管是强迫,或是压制,都要拿回自主权,有了自主权利,就有了行政权。砂州目前政治资本,原因是巫统弱,巫统一再分裂,今天的这个政治局势,砂政府要不要做英雄?要就努力拿回失去的,甚至拿回更多!"
张健仁是在今日出砂民主行动党722砂拉越日"自主、独立、公投"讲座会上主讲时,如是表示。
促政府制定明确议程
他续称,砂州政府必须制定明确的议程,再向联邦争取,若不愿意,就是违反整个争取自主权的意愿。
"我们希望拥有的是明确的主权,而不是行政权,雾里看花,最重要是率先获得税务主权。"
他再次强调,民主行动党上下38国会议员,全力支持下放权力给砂州政府,哪个政党可以同意,就给予支持,而目前只有行动党,接下来,就要向政府施压。
"争取自主权,不需要大费周章,以我以上的三部曲,其实很容易就能达到。"

还比尔一个公正,还习俗地地主一个公正。

(古晋23日讯)民主行动党古晋市国会议员兼哥打圣淘沙州议员张健仁今早带领行动党党员参与由砂拉越达雅协会所组办"还比尔卡勇一个公正"的集会。 同行者也有行动党实丹宾区国会议员陈国彬。

在致辞中,张健仁表示,谋杀比尔的事件,是一个公开挑战
国家法律和司法的行为。 虽然开枪者已被绳之于法,但是主谋还是逍遥法外。 尤其是在一个"钱是万能"的制度下,许多人已开始怀疑,真正的主谋是否最终会被绳之于法,因为最大的主谋嫌犯是一位有"拿督"头衔的千万富翁。

张氏说,今天的集会不只是一个"还比尔一个公正"的诉求,而也是一个还全民公正的诉求。 

"在我们怀缅比尔的当儿,我们更应该谨记他所代表的精神,即,不惧权贵捍卫土著习俗地的斗争。 我们失去一个比尔卡勇,应该要有更多的比尔卡勇站出来捍卫被剥夺的土著习俗地。"

张氏指出,如果砂州政府的土地政策是公平和公正的话,枪杀比尔的事件就不会发生了。 如果没有国阵朋党泛滥剥夺土著习俗地的政策,比尔也不会被谋杀。

"因此,在大家今天哀悼比尔卡勇逝世和向政府讨回公正的当儿,我们更应该敦促政府修改目前只偏重朋党利益而罔顾土著习俗地地主权益的政策。"

他也说,如果政府还是这样的持续'贱卖'有习俗地权力的土地给其朋党,更多的悲剧将会再继续发生。 

他质疑国阵政府的政策,为何政府需要批土地给大型的种植公司,而同时却忽略那些住在有关土地附近的原住民。 这是极度不公平的土地政策。

最后,张氏强调,"还比尔一个公正"的运动,并不只是单单比尔个人的惨案,而它也涵盖一个全民的诉求,即,还全部的土著习俗地地主一个公正。

“Justice for Bill ” Justice for all NCR landowners

Posted: 22 Jul 2016 10:26 PM PDT

We DAP supports the movement of PEDAS in its fight to demand for "Justice for Bill Kayong".

In the "Justice for Bill Kayong" gathering organised by PEDAS today at the Dataran Pahlawan, Kuching, the Member of Parliament for Stampin, YB Julian Tan and I attended together with a few DAP members.

The murder of the Bill Kayong is a blatant challenge to the authority and rules of law in this country.Though the gunman has been prosecuted in Court but the mastermind of the murder is still at large. In a system where "Cash is King", many are doubtful whether the mastermind of Bill's murder will ever be brought to book, given that the prime mastermind suspect is a very rich businessman with a "Datuk" title.

The gathering today at the Dataran Pahlawan is not only a demand for "Justice for Bill Kayong" but also a demand for "Justice for all". We must not only remember Bill Kayong as a person who fought to defend NCR land but his spirit in the fearless fight against the Rich and Powerful to protect and defend the NCR of the native landowners.

The tragic death of Bill Kayong would not have happened if the State Government's land policy is fair and just. Had there been no rampant alienation of NCR land to the BN cronies and the exploitation and deprivation of the native of their NCR land, Bill Kayong would not have died.

Therefore, while we moan the death of Bill Kayong, we also cry out to the Government to review and change its land policy which prioritise the BN cronies over the NCR landowners. 

If the State Government still persists in "Cheap-selling" land where there are NCR claims to it BN cronies, then sooner or later, more tragedies may happen. 

It is also most unfair on the part of the Government to alienate land to large plantation companies while ignoring the people living in the vicinity of these land.

Therefore, this campaign "Justice for Bill Kayong" has the implication beyond just the late Bill Kayong one person only but covers also a call for "Justice for all NCR landowners".

722 Happy Sarawak Day

Posted: 21 Jul 2016 09:50 PM PDT




The 722 celebration to Sarawak is the equivalent of 831 Merdeka Day to the Federation of Malaya. While the nation has celebrated 831 every year since the formation of Malaysia in 1963, 722 had gone past unnoticed. Not even our State Government in the past has given any recognition to 722. 

We have had 5 Chief Ministers and it is only in the 3rd year of the 5th Chief Minister's tenure that 722,the Independent Day of Sarawak, was given its due recognition. That is not normal and it speaks loud about how the government views the importance of this day.

We all feel proud to be Sarawakians and want the best for Sarawak.

In order to achieve that goal, it is the firm belief of DAP that the Common People of Sarawak must come first. Government policies should give more protection and opportunities to the common people of Sarawak rather than merely benefiting the few privileged ones. 

Sarawak, as it is now, is heading down the path of "the rich becoming richer and the poor poorer". Cash and power seems to rule the day.

On this first official celebration of 722 Sarawak Independence Day, we hope to see a Sarawak where all are equal and the abundant resources of Sarawak is shared by all, not the few chosen ones. We hope to see a Sarawak that has no poverty and that all children has the opportunity and the means to tertiary education.

Lastly, I wish all a "Happy Sarawak Day".
