Joint Press Statement
July 11th notes the 100th day of Najib’s premiership. His 100-days performance will serve as an indicator on how our country is likely to be governed for the next four years.
First of all, we laud the various measures of economic reforms announced lately by the Government. While these bold measures will help liberalize our economy amidst the challenges of globalization, the authoritarian root cause of economic ethno-nationalism, cronyism, corruption and power abuse must be duly recognized. If the government insists to separate the politics from economy and maintain iron-fist political control, its moves in economic liberalization will be just the tricks for the political elites to stay in power.

联合声明
前言
7月11日是我国首相纳吉上任100天。虽然在接下来任期内的施政表现,才是大家应该关注的焦点,但民主政治传统中,每位执政者上台后首100天之成败,常常被视为未来4、5年政府任期绩效的指标。因此,执政届满百日,往往被视为新任国家领导人能否经得起考验的一项关键指标。
首先,我们肯定当局近期宣布的各项经济改革方案。这些果敢的开放措施,诚然有利于推动经济自由化,有助我国面对全球化的挑战;但经济族裔民族主义、朋党主义、贪污滥权等现象的威权主义根源也必须受到正视。如果当政者采取 “政经分离”的策略,继续铁腕政治,那么这些经济自由化措施将不过是权势者保持权位的门面功夫而已。

We the undersigned are deeply disturbed by the call on the part of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to have Sisters in Islam (SIS) banned and its members rehabilitated should its activities be determined to be contrary to the Islamic shariah. It is apparent to us that in making the call in the manner that it has, PAS has already formed the view that SIS should be banned and its activities brought to an end.

Kami penandatangan di bawah amat terganggu dengan usul Parti Islam Semalaysia (PAS) yang mahu agar Sisters in Islam (SIS) diharamkan dan ahli-ahlinya dipaksa menjalani proses pemulihan jika aktivitinya didapati bertentangan dengan Shariah Islam. Pada hemat kami, dengan membuat usul sebegini, PAS telah pun membuat anggapan bahawa SIS harus diharamkan dan aktivitinya dihentikan.

我们以下联署的单位绝对不满与反对回教党大会于6月7日的议决,要求全国回教法规委员会(Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan)查禁非政府组织“回教姐妹”(Sister In Islam)并表明若发现对方确实违反回教教义将会对其成员进行改造。其理由是因为认为“回教姐妹”所传播的理念及所进行的活动和回教教义有所冲突。

【荒城手记/林宏祥专栏】时间,是最好的考验。
一个政党仗着权势,莫名其妙关掉白沙罗华文小学,然后用整个国家机关镇压一群手无寸铁的村民。2926个日子以后,败选的前议员要在镁光灯前俯下身冲水洗厕所;新上位的副教育长要交出钥匙让校门重开。这个政党用了八年,只为了坚持一个错误。
一个政党逆着民意,长驱直入收购原本是民营的南洋报业,进门就把眼中钉当成树桐喊话:“……不砍你砍谁?”(注一)。八年的时光,控制报纸却收编不了民意,最终把股权脱售给媒体大亨,用“优秀的中华文化”把本地中文报业铲为巴布亚西几内亚的森林。

李伟伦 | 5月28日 傍晚7点38分
528报殇踏入8周年纪念日,民间与公民社会却未主办任何纪念活动,平静如水的现象让人以为经过8年抗战后,反收购及反垄断运动只打折剩当年的一股精神。
一些评论人承认这种无奈的事实,即大部分社会已经对此议题淡忘和妥协,但他们却仍相信,528的反垄断精神已扩大,乃至对现今媒体,以及更广泛的公共议题带来正面的影响。
8年前的5月28日,一批罢写评论人还在隆雪华堂举办座谈会,悲愤政党要接管南洋报业的消息;8年后的同一天,由前《南洋商报》副新闻编辑许国伟在988电台上主持,主题为新闻自由的清谈节目,似乎已成今日的唯一一项纪念节目。

(吉隆坡28日讯)“2001年5月28日的报变罢写事件,是公民不服从运动的一部份;而现 今的一个黑色马来西亚运动,则是528运动的扩散。”维护媒体独立撰稿人联盟(WAMI)主席黄进发如此说,他也是干净与公平选举联盟(Bersih,简 称公选盟)一个黑色马来西亚运动的发言人。
黄进发表示:“现在推动的穿黑衣不服从运动,已经把528不服从运动的精神包含在内。净选盟目前正在推动公平选举制度的改革、司法改革、警政改革,这也包括了媒体改革,所以今年的5月28日,WAMI不会特别推出纪念活动。”
