不罢休的沙进步党

杨伯就是不信任你，吹嚒！？

尽管沙巴进步党表示，暂时搁置投首相阿都拉的不信任动议，但是该党继续猛攻首相的领导，特别抨击他的言行前后不一做法。

该党列出多项例子，炮轰阿都拉的政策朝夕令改和善变态度，如‘不会解散国会’、‘油价不高涨’、‘外国汽车不获添油’及‘公务员每月发薪两次’。

The denials (of impending emergency rule) from the PM carry no weight among the people because of his previous flip flops such as "no dissolution of Parliament", "no fuel price hikes", "no fuel to foreign cars", "paying salaries twice a month" etc.

 它说：“数天前，媒体曾报导我国可能进入紧急状态，甚至冻结国会，而连续6天的军警联合演习（7月2日至8日）以维持公共秩序，这可被视为政府使用全世界都惯用的‘心理建设’和‘心理战’。”

“政府的做法（军警联合演习）将引发人民的焦虑；虽然阿都拉不认为我国将进入紧急状态，但是首相的否认在人民心中是没有分量的言论。”

The deliberate disclosure of the 6-day joint exercises starting July 2 between the armed forces and the police in maintaining DOMESTIC public order can be seen as a type of "psychological preparation" and "psychology warfare" that is used by governments all over the world.

This has caused anxiety among the people.

进步党于7月6日通过其网站，发表16段声明的文告，猛烈抨击阿都拉领导的政府。



7月7日，进步党副主席兼斗湖区国会议员蔡顺梅表示，该党暂时搁置不信任动议，以免成为我国陷入紧急状态或导致流血事件的“代罪羔羊” 沙巴进步党劝告党领袖和党员，别掉入种族主义分子的圈套，转移人民当下所面对的问题和以免我国陷入紧急状态。

该党认为，人民正面地水深火热的切身问题，如百物上涨、停滞不前的经济表现、非法移民、沙巴主权和不公平的政策等，人民不应该受种族政治言论影响，转移焦点，甚至做出让政府有机会颁布紧急状态的事情。

This is because SAPP believes that the real issues affecting the people are the
rising costs of living, stagnating economy, illegal immigrants, political autonomy of Sabah and local Malaysians heading federal departments, empowerment of the people, unfair laws and policies affecting the people and an equitable share of our own oil revenues of 20%.

We should not allow racial politics to bury these real issues affecting the people nor will we do anything to give the authorities an excuse to declare emergency.

进步党重申对首相失去信心的立场，改变只是时间的问题，人民对首相已缺乏信心，包括国阵领袖亦如此。

它认为，唯有只剩既得利益者继续为首相而欢呼，就如著名的童话故事“国王的新衣”。

该党也抨击巫统沙巴古打毛律区国会议员拿督阿都拉曼达兰（身兼巫青秘书）的言论，后者警告进步党若继续向首相投不信任票，将引发流血事件。

 “这是充满煽动和侮辱国会民主的言论，同时巫青副团长凯里也在斗湖向党主席杨德利作出野蛮抨击。”

上周巫统副主席兼马六甲州首长展示其傲慢态度，认同巫统党员在斗湖和实邦加展开的示威，这种怂恿态度引发人民的恐慌。

此外，回教党和巫统青年团也传出合作的谣言，以免马来领袖如首相受非马来议员的“羞辱”。

“尽管进步党的政治文化是多元种族，惟我们不能低估巫统和回教党在‘马来支配权’课题的呼声。”

该党透露，一名资深巫统领袖曾亲自提醒杨德利，若进步党继续推动不信任动议，将被视为华基政党对抗马来领袖，并提醒杨氏官方媒体已将进步党标榜为华裔政党。

Briefing Statement by SAPP

Kota Kinabalu (6 July 2008):
1. SAPP and its leaders and members are advised not to fall into the trap of racialist opportunists who whip up racial tensions in order to divert attention from the real issues affecting the people which may possibly set the stage for emergency rule in the country.

Stick to the real issues affecting the people

2. This is because SAPP believes that the real issues affecting the people are the rising costs of living, stagnating economy, illegal immigrants, political autonomy of Sabah and local Malaysians heading federal departments, empowerment of the people, unfair laws and policies affecting the people and an equitable share of our own oil revenues of 20%. We should not allow racial politics to bury these real issues affecting the people nor will we do anything to give the authorities an excuse to declare emergency.

3. In the last 4 days, the national media has reported the prospects of an emergency rule that will lead to the suspension of Parliament. The deliberate disclosure of the 6-day joint exercises starting July 2 between the armed forces and the police in maintaining DOMESTIC public order can be seen as a type of "psychological preparation" and "psychology warfare" that is used by governments all over the world. This has caused anxiety among the people. The denials (of impending emergency rule) from the PM carry no weight among the people because of his previous flip flops such as "no dissolution of Parliament", "no fuel price hikes", "no fuel to foreign cars", "paying salaries twice a month" etc.
Racialists stirring racial sentiments

4. The blatant stirring of racial sentiments are proven beyond any doubt when on Wednesday July 2, the MP for Kota Belud who is also the UMNO Youth National Secretary, in Parliament warned of (tumpah darah) blood shed if SAPP MPs were to proceed with the no confidence motion on the PM. This kind of inflammatory talk is totally unwarranted and an affront to parliamentary democracy. SAPP hails the decision of the Speaker, himself from the Kota Belud district, for putting a stop to the incendiary remarks of the first term MP from UMNO Youth.

5. It is also worth noting that the weekend before the UMNO Tawau demonstration, that the UMNO Youth Deputy Leader, Khairy Jamaluddin, was in Tawau and later made wild accusations against the SAPP President.

6. All BN component parties, including UMNO, have admitted that the brandishing of the keris at previous UMNO Youth conventions was a major cause of the loss of BN. These youth leaders never learn.

7. Last week, an UMNO Vice President, who is also a Chief Minister, further displayed the arrogance of power by justifying the demonstrations of UMNO in Tawau and Sepanggar. Such instigation has re-created an atmosphere of intimidation and fear among sections of the people.

8. There has also been talk of a PAS-UMNO Youth alliance that they cannot allow a Malay leader such as the PM to be "humiliated" by a non-Malay MP.

9. Although our SAPP political culture is non-racial, we do not underestimate the risks of an UMNO-PAS battle cry of "Ketuanan Melayu". SAPP President has been told personally by a senior UMNO leader that if SAPP proceeds with the motion against the PM, then it would be seen as a Chinese party versus the Malay leadership, reminding SAPP that the government media has deliberately portrayed SAPP as "Chinese", even though in fact, SAPP is a non-racial party with multi-racial members and leaders.

10. SAPP's move is based on the genuine grievances of the people and Sabah issues. Racial conflict is never a part of our agenda.
Loss of confidence still stands

11. The fundamental position of losing confidence in the PM still stands. Change is only a matter of time because the people have lost confidence on the PM. BN leaders too have lost confidence on the PM. Only the vested interests are cheering the PM like the story of Emperor's clothes. SAPP nor its President has anything personal against the PM. We have not touched any thing personal about the PM such as family, son, son-in-law and businesses etc. unlike what many UMNO leaders have thrown at the PM and family.
12. When he first became PM, the PM did ask the people to tell him the truth and to work with him, not work for him. But what is happening now at the national level show that PM has lost the confidence of the people and also control over their own BN leaders.

13. For instance, even BN MPs defied government authority by "gangsters-style removal of barricade at Parliament lobby", which was a glaring display of loss of authority on a scale unseen in Malaysia. Residents in Cheras physically removing the barricade at access to a highway, the panic in Sabah on June 24 among the public over rumours of petrol stations on strike, the fiasco of attacks and counter-attacks involving top leaders of the nation, different statutory declarations, police reports against the IGP and A-G, continuing rising costs of living affecting the people etc….etc…are more than enough to show that the people have lost confidence in the current leadership to sort out the mess that the country is in.

14. SAPP reaffirms the 8-point Declaration of June 20, 2008 (copy attached) and is forming specialized committees to look into the formulation and implementation of laws and policies towards the complete fulfillment of the struggle contained in the 8 points.

15. For instance, the issue of Petronas formed under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 allows for a National Petroleum Advisory Council (Section 5) to include those from oil producing states.. Is there member from Sabah in this NPAC? If yes, who? If no, why not? Section 7A allows the delegation of powers to the State Authority (say, the Chief Minister) under the Act over the oil and gas industry in Sabah. Is there such delegation of powers to the State authority? As for the increase in oil royalties, this can be reviewed under Section 4 of the Act which stipulated cash payment to the relevant State. SAPP will closely pursue this and other issues of interests to the people.

16. SAPP shall continue to play our role as a people-based party striving for the people. We will not do anything to give the authorities an excuse to declare emergency rule.
