对于马来西亚穆斯林联盟标签华裔为入侵者，但却未被受到对付，从而使他们频频发表更多种族性言论一事，民政党署理主席谢顺海医生表示质疑，并指出马来西亚穆斯林联盟的言论可被视为仇恨性言论，也将不利于国家。

“我想知道为什么已有那么多针对马来西亚穆斯林联盟标签华裔为入侵者言论而向警局作出投报，但却依然没有采取行动对付他们。同时，今日马来西亚穆斯林联盟再次发表另一番言论，表示某政党将可能重演513事件。”

谢顺海医生指出，ISMA的所有言论可被视为仇恨性言论，使马来西亚各社群间产生不信任感。

“我想强调马来西亚华裔已在此生活4至5个世代，对于马来西亚人的生活方式已是根深蒂固。我们可看到华裔享受着椰浆饭和印度煎饼，尽管那些并不是华裔传统食物。这现象表示华裔已融入马来西亚人民的生活方式。因此，要求华裔回中国论根本不正确，因为我们并没有其他地方可去。”

谢顺海医生也说，政治领袖不应以种族性语调发表言论争取名望。

“回中国论和回印度论永远不会在民众间听到，因为他们了解马来西亚是他们的国家。讽刺的是，这些种族性言论通常都是由不分种族与宗教的人民选出的代议士所发表，以达致他们的自身利益。”

谢顺海医生表示，学校的历史科也遭受曲解，只赞扬某个种族带领马来西亚达致今日的成就，而不是所有群体。因此，这应与首相的一个马来西亚理念，对其作出修正。

“我们的历史科应陈述各种族对国家的成立与发展所作出的贡献的事实。”

ISMA is spreading hate speech

Gerakan wants action to be taken against ISMA

Cheah Soon Hai: ISMA is spreading hate speech

Dato’ Dr Cheah Soon Hai

Gerakan Deputy President, Dato’ Dr Cheah Soon Hai has questioned why action has not been taken against Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA) for labeling the Chinese as trespassers in Malaysia with more racial statement coming out from the organization. He said that such statements uttered by ISMA were considered as hate speech and detrimental to the nation.

“I would like to know why no action has been taken despite countless police reports been made against ISMA for labeling the Chinese as trespassers. In the meantime, as of today ISMA came out with another statement saying that a political party is capable of engineering a repeat of the May 13 incident.”

Dato’ Dr Cheah described that all these statements by ISMA can be considered as a form of hate speech to plant seeds of distrust among the various community in Malaysia.

“I would like to stress that the Chinese in Malaysia are already in their 4^th or 5^th generation who has ingrain in the Malaysian way of life. Today we can see that a Chinese enjoying their nasi lemak or roti canai despite the fact that these are not traditional Chinese food. Such implication means that the Chinese are already assimilated to the Malaysian lifestyle. Therefore to call a Chinese to return to China is totally inappropriate in nature as we have no other place to go.”

He continued by saying that political leaders should not speak through racial tones in abid to gain popularity at the expense of the nation.

“All these words of ‘Balik Cina or Balik India’, you will never hear it in the general public as they understand that Malaysia is their country. The irony is that all these racist statements were usually uttered by the very people that have been elected by all Malaysians regardless of race and religion in a bid to further their own selfish goals.”

Dato’ Dr Cheah also pointed out that the History subject taught in school has been skewed as it only glorifies a single race instead the contribution of every community to put Malaysia where it is today, therefore it has to be modified in line with the 1Malaysia concept by the Prime Minister. 

“Our History subject should be telling the truth that various races has indeed contributed to the formation & development of Malaysia today”
