针对吉打州务大臣慕克里指马华与民政党带有种族主义色彩一事，民政党吉打州主席谢顺海医生表示遗憾，并认为该言论是无稽之谈。

 

 

"民政党一直以来的处事都不带有种族意识，身为多元种族政党，我们在处理任何事情都会秉持着'以民为本'精神，这也是民政党一直强调应解散国阵所有政党，并合并为多元种族政党的原因。"谢顺海说。

 

 

谢顺海指出，我国是多元种族社会，因此身为国家领袖应接受多方意见。民政党一贯主张不论任何种族与宗教，了解国民的心声，扶持任何需要帮助的人民，而不是持续发表种族性言论。

 

 

谢顺海表示，505全国大选后，很多领袖都以"华人海啸"称沦陷的选区，但在真正意义上，以"城市海啸"形容更为恰当。我们都知道几乎所有城市选区都落败，即使是以马来人居多的城市选区也无一幸免，所以根本不应称为"华人海啸"。

 

 

"我们会在这次的补选中向人民解释清楚有关慕克里的言论，由于大选前华小已获得拨款，所以现在必须先协助那些有需要的国民学校，相信是其表达有误。虽然民政党不同意慕克里的言论，但我们依然会在国阵的方针下做事，协助即将举行的补选。"谢顺海强调。

 

Kedah Gerakan brushes off Muhkriz's statement as groundless

Cheah Soon Hai: Gerakan advocates for 'People First' spirit

Regarding Kedah Menteri Besar, Muhkriz Mahathir's statement of saying MCA and Gerakan is a racist party, Kedah Gerakan state chairman; Dr Cheah Soon Hai expressed his regret and described the statement as groundless.

 
 

"All along, Gerakan's style of doing things does not have any elements of racism. As a multi-racial party, we uphold the 'People First' spirit all the time whenever we engage the people. This is why Gerakan continue to advocate the dissolve of all component parties and merge into a single multiracial BN party," Cheah said.

 
 

He pointed out that since Malaysia is a multiracial country, its leaders should accept views from all sides. Gerakan has been advocating that we have to understand the needs of the people and assists those who are in need irrespective of race and religion instead of keep uttering racist statement.

 
 

Cheah also said that since the 505 general election, many leaders blamed that "Chinese Tsunami" was the reason why many constituencies were lost, but we felt that it is more accurate to term it as an "Urban Tsunami". We realized that we have nearly lost in all the urban areas including those with Malay-majority. Hence it is inaccurate to term it as a "Chiense Tsunami".

 
 

"We will take the opportunity to explain to the people regarding Muhkriz's statement in the upcoming Sungai Limau by-election. Since Chinese schools have received allocations prior to the 505 election, therefore it is now time to hand out assistance to the national schools. I believe that it is his way of expressing that caused all these misunderstandings. Although Gerakan does not agree with his statement, we will continue working under the BN framework to assist in the coming by-election." Dr Cheah stressed.

针对内政部长阿末扎希指出马来人通常都是罪案受害者，而大毒贩以华裔居多，小毒贩则是印裔，瘾君子却是马来人的言论，民政党吉打州主席谢顺海医生大表谴责，并认为身为一名国家领袖，不应发出如此种族性的言论。

 
 

"这起事件再次证明每当党选时，都会出现这些情况。领袖为了争取选票，就会发表一些不当的言论。反观身为多元种族政党的民政党，在党选时绝不会有这些种族性言论纠纷发生，这是其他政党应借鉴的。"谢顺海说。

 
 

谢顺海指出，国阵应考虑解散所有政党，并组成单一多元种族政党，以真正实践一个马来西亚精神，无论种族与宗教，照顾全民。

 
 

谢顺海表示，就连国家领袖都发出如此的种族性言论，所以下属更能明目张胆发表类似言论，这也是为何我国频频发生种族性纠纷的原因。因此，阿末扎希应立即收回其毫无根据的言论，并向人民道歉。

Regarding the Home Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's statement that Malays are mostly the victim of crime while major drug distributors composed of mainly Chinese, minor drug distributors mainly Indians while the Malays are the customers, Kedah Gerakan state Chairman, Dr Cheah Soon Hai strongly condemned it. He opined that as a minister for the entire country, there should not be any racial statement uttered.

 
 

"This incident has once again proved that every time when there is a party election, cases like the one above will happen. In order to get votes, leaders will say something without facts. Whereas we, at Gerakan as a multiracial party during our own election, such statements will never occur. This should be a good example for other parties to follow suit." Dr Cheah said.

 
 

He pointed out that BN should consider dissolve all the component parties and merge to become a multi-racial party itself, to reflect the 1Malaysia spirit that takes care for all regardless of race and religion.

 
 

Dr Cheah said that as a leader who uttered such statements, this will only cause his subordinates to follow his footsteps. Furthermore, this is also the reason why our country is suffering from racial polarization. Therefore, Ahmad Zahid has to retract his statement and apologise to the public immediately.
