Waving the Constitution (II)

Ah... I know, I know, I need to post more ;)

For a start, it has been about a month since I've last posted my weekly articles to Oriental Daily. So, I'll start there while I get my thoughts sorted to put up more posts, many of which are much delayed ;)

The following article was a combination of what I wrote on the Government's total disregard of the Federal Constitution as demonstrated by the Minister in Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz's proclamation that he's the Chief Justice "boss", as well as an earlier post where I remarked on the MCA Youth Chief's placid atttempt to wave the Federal Constitution. We have still not witness any attempts to do so both at the Parliament or the Cabinet by MCA.

举起联邦宪法

我国联邦宪法是国家的最神圣的法律文件。如果马来西亚国家领袖或人民不尊重联邦宪法,国家统治就会陷入混乱。

所以当首相署部长纳兹里为了平息¨林甘短片〃所引起的丑闻,宣布他是联邦法院首席大法官阿末法鲁斯的部长,以及是“掌管法律事务的部长”时,我感觉到前所未有的不寒而栗。

我国联邦宪法明文规定司法是独立的,司法更是制衡政府行政部门的机关。失去了司法与立法独立的马来西亚,就再也不是一个真正的民主国。我们也没有办法保证,国家法律还能作为庇护公民免受政府欺凌的护身符。

一个初级部长能够那么骄傲自满的宣布他是联邦法院首席大法官的上司,根本就是藐视联邦宪法的表现。难道我们国家政府已经完全无视宪法的存在,不需要再尊重联邦宪法了吗?

刚刚过去的第44届马青全国常年代表大会上,马青总团长廖中莱很骄傲的宣告“国人应坚守宪法独立精神”。他率领中委举起《联邦宪法》,嚷嚷“以举手机取代举短剑”暗讽出席该大会的巫青团副团凯里。

廖中莱还强调,马华不是任人欺负的,“人不犯我,我不犯人;人若犯我,我必犯人!”席中也表示关系民族利益的课题,马青的立场绝对鲜明,不回避、不挑衅,咬定青山不放松!

但可笑的是,他只用华语表达给马青团员与不谱华语及热烈鼓掌的凯里听。他在以国语演讲时,却不再提这几句义气冲天的说辞。

目前,我国司法与宪法又受严重的威胁了,引起律师公会在布城大型的游行。问题是,廖中莱或者其它马华部长是否会在内阁或国会举联邦宪法,强烈地仗义直言来保护我国司法机关?还是马华领袖会把“林甘短片”丑闻视若无睹?

廖中莱还说,批评比建设容易,马青要做的事情很多,没有时间和反对党纠缠不清。可是,看来廖中莱应该认为开空头支票比接受批评还要容易。马青不只没时间反驳反对党提起的问题,它们也没时间、气节或胆量作出维护宪法的行动。
