不承认统考和中港台大学文凭不给票
促马接选民以选票仗义执言
民主行动党副秘书长兼大山脚区国会议员章瑛今日指出,我国今年将庆祝独立50周年,但是有成千上万的独中生和中、港、台留学生的统考文凭和学位却仍然不受政府承认,虽然统考文凭受到世界各国近500间大学的承认,而中、港、台的许多大学都具有国际水平。
她表示,在每届大选来临时,国阵就赞揚华校,但是大选过后又打回原形,不增建华校,不公平拨款的政策不变,就如马华副总会长兼曾担任过副教长拿督冯镇安选区内的岭叻敦化华小,校舍遭白蚁侵蝕,鉴定为危楼多年不获拨款重建,学生被迫在锌片屋顶的礼堂上课;要等到补选才说有钱重建,这不是公平对待华小,而是将华小问题当着政治筹码,以在必要时用來換取选票支持,完全不顾辛辛学子的福利。
“同样的,教育部有意聘请中国老师来国小教华语,但是却不承认中、港、台留学生的学位,我国华校数十年来一直面对师资不足的问题,国阵政府却不承认60间独中学生的统考文凭,马华在国阵里代表华人,但是却一直无法说服以巫统为主的国阵政府承认统考文凭和中、港、台的大学学位!连马华引以为荣的拉曼学院的一些科系文凭也不受政府承认!”
章瑛指出,马华部长孺弱不敢争取令成千上万的独中生被排挤在政府大学和公共部门之外,及许许多多的中、港、台留学生受到边缘化。她呼吁马接区选民善用补选的机会,为这些被国阵政府“遗忘”的独中生和中、港、台留学生仗义执言,把票投给行动党,以代表全国人民向国阵传达一个讯息:承认统考文凭及中、港、台大学学位,否则下届大选会更大规模的以选票抗议!

This is from an email received today:
The Govt's announcement (26th February 2007) of its intention to build schools for 34,000 Indonesian children was applauded by the Indonesian Govt who called Malaysia its "very good friend". Not only do we provide jobs for MILLIONS of Indonesians, we will also provide quality education for free with better facilities than they enjoy back home in Indonesia.
To me, this is somewhat a surprise. The 9th Malaysia Plan provided no allocation for the building of any
more vernacular Chinese and Tamil schools and when MCA youth officials questioned the absence of allocation,UMNO youth's Datuk Hashim Bin Suboh from Perlis (at the last UMNO Gen Assembly) asked Datuk Hisham what he was going to do next with the Keris now that he had unsheathed it, kissed it and waved it about. He was suggesting that the MCA's demands for the construction of Chinese schools be handled by more than just verbal debate.
Every single unspent Ringgit earned by the Indonesians are remitted back home whereas the wealth of Malaysia's citizens are reinvested in the country. The Govt machinery runs on taxation income derived from its citizens but spent on the children of Indonesian immigrants who incidentally according to Police statistics account for 33% of all crime in the nation.
The real losers in this scenario are members of the Indian community. Particularly the uneducated who are deprived of the same level of educational opportunity as the children of Indonesian immigrants. And now with free and better education, we can expect even more Indonesians to come over to Malaysia as public
education in Indonesia is not cheap. With the population of Indonesians already exceeding the number of Indians in the country, one wonders if there is a hidden agenda to dilute the population mix any further.
How many "Indonesian Malaysians" are currently enjoying Bumiputra benefits? How many of them are already enjoying Govt sponsorships and aid for various reasons? The answers are a well kept secret.
The MIC youth leaders were lamenting the fate of Indians in the country recently. Because of public prejudice against Indians, employers were reluctant to employ them. The police have a habit of indiscriminately arresting every Indian youth in sight every time a crime occurs and keeping them in lock up for days. As a result, the youth are reluctant to return to work, unable to explain their absence. Those who do are pressured out of employment when the reason for their absence is revealed. The number of uninvestigated
deaths of Indian youth in Police lock ups around the country is rising. And the MIC is looking more disempowered by the day.
The racial polarization caused by UMNO's superiority complex is creating a stronger spirit of protectionism among the Chinese which doesn't help the fate of contribution of its Indian citizenry. Recently, the Selangor
state Govt evicted 43 Indian families who had occupied a plot of Govt land in Kuala Selangor for over 80 years. Their appeal for a stay of the eviction order was denied by the Chief Minister of Selangor who incidentally is the son of an Indonesian immigrant.
I write to appeal to you all to stop thinking of the Indian underclass as somebody else's problem. Indians are intelligent, hard working and loyal. But the level of frustration, lack of confidence and lack of entrepreneurship among them is the result of the selfishness of the Govt. With collective contribution of society, this can all change.
