马华应该回归根本！

马华公会最近因为开除蔡细历党籍而引发了剧烈的党内纷争。国内中文报章巨细靡遗，图文并茂，连戏剧式的报道更令许多人感到烦厌！

本来经过去年308大选打击下的马华这个时候应该痛定思过，大刀阔斧的改革，以赢回民心。然而，“屋漏偏逢连夜雨”，马华在人民决定是否在下一届大选还要支持国阵的当儿发生了党内纷争，令所有的党员感到痛心。

有人怪罪马华大厦的风水不好，也有人强调这是党组织结构的问题。但是别自欺欺人了，这原本就是华人不团结，内斗内行，外都外行的再次验证而已啊！也别只怪马华，在马来西亚大部分的华人组织当中，难道不是接二连三的发生内斗事件吗？难道不是一旦发生领导层纷争，输了的派系就另起炉灶以在“户外”继续抗争吗？这就是马来西亚华人社会的悲哀！

区区六百五十万华人就天天闹的不可开交，互相残杀，不致对方于死地而不休！难道这就是我们引以为傲的伟大中华文化吗？这种消耗内力的斗争真的有愧于当年创党的先贤啊！

马来西亚华人社会与马华公会是不可分割的。历史的演变造就了马华公会。六十年来，马华公会，无论你认同与否，它都背负着照顾及捍卫马来西亚华人利益的重大责任。从创党初期争取公民权，捍卫华文教育，保存中华文化等。。。。当然不是事事尽得人意，但愿无愧于心！

当然，马华也有很多过失之处。龙门也有失手的时候，令许多不利于华人社会的政策出台。这些错误我们必须承认，也必须承担！但是永远处于自我怪罪或永不抬头是鸵鸟文化。

马华领导层应该挺起胸膛，走入华人社会，了解华人社会，解决华人社会的问题！一步一脚印的重新在华人社会建立支持力量，赢回马华尊严！一个不获华人支持的政党，还算是华人政党吗？我们被林冠英践踏了我们的尊严！所谓“弱国无外交”，今天的马华正是“虎落平原被犬欺”。要赢回尊严就必须重回我们的根本，回到华人社会当中！

但愿马华特大能够尽快召开，所有的纷争都应该由2千400名中央代表来决定。来一场君子之争，少数服从多数，多数尊重少数！输的一方接受事实，重新归队，协助重整马华。赢的一方不会采取秋后算账，更应该伸出橄榄枝，包容对方。

期待马华的改革，期待马来西亚华人社会的团结。

理科大学录取新生放榜，学生劝请尽快上网查阅

吉隆坡30日讯。

马青总团教育局呼吁所有在这之前申请理科大学本科学位的学生尽快登入理大网址http://pohon.usm.my/ 查阅他们的申请是否成功。

马青总团教育局主任张盛闻今早接获马青槟城州团团长翁协文的投诉，告知很多学生对理大的录取通知书给予过短时间回复而感到不知所措。根据理大的录取程序，学生必须要在5月31日，下午5点之前回复是否接受理大的学位。然而，很多学生在昨天，29日（星期五）才接获通知，不可能在31日，也就是星期天能够将答复表格呈给理大。就算学生在星期六一早寄出表格，邮差也不会在星期日做工。

因此，马青教育局主任张盛闻第一时间联络高教部副部长何国忠博士，要求协助未能及时呈交回复表格的学生。何国忠博在联络理大副校长后说学生必透过网站或短讯方式回复是否接受学位，而表格则可以在星期天以后再寄到理大。如果学生在这方面遇到问题，可以联络马青总团教育局：03-21618044

张盛闻表示：“理大作为国内首间顶尖大学，拥有招生自主权，但是遗憾的是录取新生成绩放榜竟然没有对媒体公布。理大必须明白不是所有的学生都一定坐在家里等理大的收生通知书或者都有电脑可以随时上网查阅电邮。理大给予的时间过于仓促，又适逢周末，可能会令到很多学生错失就读理大的机会。”

他说：“马青教育局在这之前已经建议大学录取通知和回复答案之间应该至少有7个工作天，让学生有足够的时间考虑和作出回复。这种即没对外公布，又极为仓促的录取新生法应该检讨”。

另外，今年的国立大学录取新生制度有稍作改变。理大作为顶尖大学将优先录取新生。所有同时申请理大和其他19所国立大学的学生，如果一旦被理大拒绝，或拒绝接受理大学位，该名学生的名字将交由UPU处理，让其他国立大学筛选。

因此，马青教育局希望这些学生送往UPU时将获得同等的待遇，与其他没有申请理大的学生一同享有以绩效的标准录取进入大学。

Farewell, Pak Lah

Prime Minister Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi

April 2, 2009 (Thursday), Prime Minister Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi had officially resigned before Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Malaysia, Tuanku Mirzan, at Istana Negara.

Pak Lah, Malaysia 5th Prime Minister was a great person. His contribution to this country cannot be judged now as what he did was to lay down a strong foundation for his successor to continue building this great nation.

You may not even noticed what has he done for this country, but slowly the country is transforming....

Malaysia has developed rapidly from 1990 to 1999, from an agriculture based economy to an industrial based economy and moving forward to a knowledge based economy in early 2000. We have build the highest twin tower in the world and have one of the renown F1 race track in the world. The Malaysian society has changed tremendously over the past 20 years.

Yet, the are so many left behind. Rich peoples get much richer, poor peoples get much poorer. Society value drop, ethnic relation deteriorated, crime rate soar, quality of life goes down, foreign workers increase dramatically and corruption proliferated.

A great cost for the economy booming.

Pak Lah knew very well that his mission is not to create another economy booming, because our economy has reach to a level that we need to transform our economy to a more sustainable growing economy. He abandoned the mega project and turn back to Malaysia's strength- the agriculture sector that we have ignored for the past 20 years. He also has a new master plan of bringing the development to rural area, out of Klang Valley which could growth solely by private sector. With this, he launches 5 economy corridors.

Of course, his greatest legacy was to open up freedom of speech, especially the freedom for media reporting. Though some blamed his move to cause the political tsunami on March 8 General Election.

He may not be the best Prime Minister, but he is certainly the "Mr Clean" that we all know well. And he is certainly the "Good Man" of all time.

Now, it is time for him to return to his normal life, as ordinary Malaysian, a lifestyle that he always wanted to, to celebrate everyday with his family.

May God Bless You, Pak Lah.

Farewell, and we will miss you.

马青教育局主任张盛闻抨击希山慕丁的歪曲独立论

(29日讯) 希山慕丁在巫统代表大会上声称国家的独立是巫统及马来人的功劳，完全没有其他政党的贡献；马青教育局主任张盛闻对有关言论感到极度失望！

张盛闻抨击希山，并说：“作为一名教育部长，希山慕丁应该对自己的言论负责，胡乱发表歪曲独立历史的真相是严重及极度不负责任的行为，尤其是希山表明将修改历史以突显巫统及马来人在争取国家独立所扮演的角色，而罔顾其他族群及政党的贡献。”

张盛闻强调：“马青教育局将极力反对任何一方企图私自修改国家独立历史，以达到个人或团体利益。马青向来对国家历史出现严重偏差已经感到不满，现在希山还要加重突出巫统及马来人在独立过程中的功劳，并抹杀华人及其他族群的贡献，这是马青所不能容忍的！”

国家独立历史清楚记载当年英国人是基于马来亚三大民族能够和谐共处，并合作治理这个国家，才放心移交政权给三大民族组成的联盟政府。当年如果没有马华及后来的国大党与巫统一起建立联盟而赢取全国大选，英国人也不会轻易让马来亚独立。

张盛闻劝请希山不要因为赢了巫统党选而冲昏了头脑，应该吸取以往举剑的教训而学会谦虚及认清国家是多元族群的事实。任何人企图通过修改历史而抹杀事实都会以失败告终。

Stop attacking vernacular school system, say two MCA bureaus

KUALA LUMPUR: Stop attacking the vernacular school system just to score points during party elections because this creates tension among races.

The MCA Youth Education Bureau and MCA Legal Bureau criticised Umno Youth chief aspirant Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir for calling on the Government to abolish the vernacular school system to enhance unity among the people, saying that a single-school system was the only way to check racial polarisation.

“We urge Mukhriz not to purposely play up the education issue simply because of the advent of his party’s polls,” MCA National Youth education bureau chief Chong Sin Woon said yesterday.

“Such sentiment has always been played up by Umno Youth leaders, causing unhappiness among the Chinese community and creating tension among all the races.”

He added that the proposal by Mukhriz contradicted the spirit of the Federal Constitution, which guaranteed the freedom to promote and develop the vernacular school system.

Chong said the vernacular school system was an asset to the country and did not hinder national unity.

“The education sentiment has seriously been politicised, and this will only continue to reduce our nation’s competitiveness,” he added.

He invited Mukhriz to a dialogue with the bureau to have a better understanding of the importance of Chinese education to the community.

MCA Legal Bureau chairman Datuk Leong Tang Chong demanded that the Jerlun MP make a public apology to all Malaysians and refrain from making such political rhetoric.

“The law is clear, and no one is above the law. The supremacy of the Federal Constitution must be respected at all times by all Malay­sians,” he said.

He added that Mukhriz’s call for the abolition of the vernacular school system by integrating it into the national school system flew in the face of Article 152(1)(a) which inter-alia stated that “no person shall be prohibited or prevented from using (other than for official purposes) or from teaching or learning in any other language.

“(b) nothing in the Clause shall prejudice the right of the Federal Government or of any state government to preserve and sustain the use and study of the language of any other community in the Federa­tion”. – The Star

马青总团教育局不苟同慕克里的言论


吉隆坡2日讯

马青总团教育局主任张盛闻表示，巫青团署里总团长候选人拿督慕克里发表关闭各源流学校的建议已经抵触了联邦宪法赋予各源流学校自由发展的精神。他吁请慕克里克制自己，不要在巫青团党选的敏感期挑起伤害种族关系的言论。他说这类言论经常被巫青团领袖挑起，令到国内华裔族群感到非常不满，并将造成种族间的关系紧张。

他说：“马来西亚教育拥有一定历史背景，并不能够与其他国家的单元教育相提并论。国家独立已经超过50年，大家应该接受各源流学校是国家的资产，而不是负担，更不是国家团结的绊脚石！教育课题已经被严重的政治化了，如果这种情况继续下去，只会让这个国家的竞争力继续下滑，到时候全国人民都受到伤害！”

各源流学校成为团结绊脚石的言论在很多个年代都出现过，但是首相阿都拉及教育部长希山慕丁都曾经公开说各源流学校是国家重要资产，并保证它们将能够继续自由的发展下去。因此，慕克里没有必要因为巫青团的改选而再度挑起这个课题以塑造个人英雄的形象。他这样做只会令到人民对巫统感到更加反感。

张盛闻呼吁各造停止操纵教育课题，还教育界一个清静的环境。我们应该投入更多的时间及资源发展我国的教育，提高人民的教育水平，而不是一味将教育课题当作政治议题，每天闹的沸沸扬扬。

另外，慕克里再度挑起华人控制经济的课题显示他依然保留华人是外来者并抢夺了本土马来人利益的狭隘思想。这种落伍的思想才是导致国民未能团结的最大障碍。如果政府能够公平施政，利惠各族人民，并严厉管制政治人物发表极端言论，我国各族人民必定能够融洽生活在一起。

张盛闻欢迎慕克里与马青总团教育局对话，让后者了解华社对华文教育的立场及马青对维护各源流学校的决心。

My Last Day In Office

Well, its nearly 5 years since i join this office in January 2004, i was only 29 years old then.

I was very proud to serve the office and i have a wonderful boss who taught me a lot. This was one of my happiest time in my career. I got the chance to meet with the highest authority, the most powerful peoples in the country, the decision makers and witnessed the major issues happening in this country.

My eyes opened widely during my service here and it changes my view on certain issue. My beliefs, my stand, my way of dealing issue has all shifted in different degree, but i am sure it was a good changes because i can now look through some issue that i never had before.

Surely, it was a chance of a life time to work here.

This office gave me the chance to really understand how complex it is to run a country, especially a multi-racial country like Malaysia. I was stunt by how difficult even the most powerful people to execute his power. Now i understand that even the Emperor in China in those day can't really do whatever he likes to do.

I also learned that it is very difficult to carry out reform because reform often challenge some people's comfort zone and they tend to fight back, harshly!

So many things are easy to say than done. Things are just not as what you think it is!

However, a leader must LEAD! He must inspired his people to follow him!

May the office get a good leader, for this country needs a great leader.

God bless Malaysia!
