BBC Hard Talk: Dr.Mahathir, a dictator?







I've watched a talk show which recorded in year 2008. It's an interview of Dr.Mahathir interviewed by Stephen Sackur. It's been quite a long time, but um, still can find something funny and interesting from the interview, though.

Well, let's see this, words quoted from the interview:

(Mahathir Mohamad 1/3)

Stephen Sackur: But the point is 80 thousand Indians for example, were on the streets protesting long and loud last November because they are no longer prepared to live with the racial divison that you set in the stone.

Dr.Mahathir: Why now? Why not during my time? They could, they were quite free to demonstrate. Many of the people who disagreed with me demonstrated...

Stephen Sackur: Many of the people who disagreed with you, I'm afraid ended up in prison.

...

(Mahathir Mohamad 2/3)

Stephen Sackur: Interesting you say you don't trust people who are currently or maybe in charge of any inquiry, do you trust the integrity of the Malaysian judiciary?

Dr.Mahathir: I do, at times I do, but...

Stephen Sackur: Is that is that because you appointed the judges?

...

Dr.Mahathir: ... He (Abdullah Badawi) is making use of the system in the worse way...

Stephen Sackur: The more I listen to you talking about Prime Minister Abdullah, the more I wonder why did you choose him to be your successor?

...

(Mahathir Mohamad 3/3)

Dr.Mahathir: Well, I come here of course expecting to be um lambasted by you because that is the way you work.

Stephen Sackur: No, I'm not lambasting you at all...

...

Dr.Mahathir: I went through five elections and I won all the elections with a 2/3...

Stephen Sackur: Without a free press, locking up many of your opponents.

...

Haha, I think I like Stephen Sackur.

Hulu Selangor By-election

I'm super duple triple happy and excited!!! Why?

Firstly, Monday at Hulu Selangor by-election, I said HI and waved my hand to Anwar Ibrahim who just stood right in front of me and he said HI and waved his hand back to me!



Secondly, I got signature from Zaid Ibrahim (although can't really see on my wet poster cos of rain) and talked to him and shaked his hand!




Oh my God! What a night!

Wait wait wait, what is this?

Sin Chew Daily

致所有关心校园政治的你们

事先说明,没有要抨击青派(亲学生阵线)的意图,相反的,坦白说,我支持亲学生阵线,不用怀疑,我对蓝派(亲校方阵线)一点好感都没有。

可能是本人的表达能力有问题,有人似乎误解了 / 歪曲了 / 根本就不明白我的意思、立场和看法。强调一次,我跟你们是站在同一条船上的。

然而,这里有一些问题要给我们的学生领袖:
第一、其实你们有没有想过一个普通的大学生真正想要得到的福利是什么吗?

很简单,校园环境、上课环境弄好一点、water cooler修好一点、photocopy shop 开多一点、car sticker 搞好一点……

等一下,什么东东啊?! 这么超级微小+无聊的东西,是学生领袖们该去做的吗?作为一个有用的学生领袖,要做的,应该是争取民主、示威拉布条、制造舆论压力予校方…… 反正反正, 就是要给校方知道我们大学生不是盖的,YES!! 嗯,的确,什么校园环境、上课环境弄好一点、water cooler修好一点、photocopy shop 开多一点、car sticker 搞好一点……我知道是很微小的事情,不,是非常超级微小的事情,可是为什么学生连这一点简单微小的福利都得不到呢?这么非常超级微小的事情,不是应该很容易办得到的吗?

以下是笔者所见所闻:
友人A:“ 投票?投青派或投蓝派?无所谓啦,反正都是一样的啦,不过hor, 还是投青派好了,因为青派好像没有蓝派这么烂。”
友人B、C、D、E、F、G(点头):“是咯!”

等等,什么啊?什么叫做“没有蓝派这么烂”?什么意思?为什么不是“投青派啦,青派很好!”,为什么?

好的,第二个问题来了,为什么这一些学生无论是对蓝派,或是我们的青派,都是那么地没有信心呢?

原因很简单,不用长篇大论,因为刚才所举例的所谓微小的+简单的+无聊的福利他们都得不到。他们会觉得,蓝派只会信口开河,青派又何尝不是这样?

你可以说这些学生超级无知,他们懂什么啊?不关心政治、不关心社会、不关心时事,他妈的,政治冷感,目光短浅,只会想water cooler、photocopy shop,正经事又不去理,更重要的事又不去做,做什么大学生?

可是事实也是现实,80%的UM生都是这样。人家就真的是因为你的water cooler修不好,photocopy shop坏到完而认为你除了会跟校方搞对抗之外,就一无是处,跟蓝派没有两样,对你没有信心,怎么样?

第三个问题来了,这个时候的我们(青派或青派支持者),是不是应该一味极力地谴责这些“烂大学生”,就是上上之策呢?还是更应该先挽回他们对我们的信心,然后让他们知道青派和蓝派最大的分别在哪里呢?

大专生应该要关心国家时事课题、大专法令应该要被废除、校方的不合理应该要被对抗、舆论压力应该要施与校方、校园民主应该要被争取,这一些那一些,坦白说,我统统都赞成,不用怀疑,我是认真也是诚心诚意这么说的。然而,我更加认为,所谓的微小+简单+无聊的福利更加应该要帮学生办到,不为什么,要挽回民心,争取学生对学生领袖百分百的信任和信心。实行了这一步,才能易于走下去,实行往后的废除大专法令、对抗校方的不合理等等,我们要让学生知道,青派真的跟蓝派不同,青派不是说说就算,青派不是纯粹要来对抗蓝派,青派真的是他们最好的选择,也是唯一的选择!

然则,学生倘若对学生领袖本来就没信心、不信任、没好感,我们做再多也只是徒然,什么示威、写文告、制造舆论压力,难听一句,他们只会觉得你无聊、多事,吃饱饭没事做!你可能会生气,可是我说的事实。

我有青派朋友,有接触,可以知道青派学生们的辛苦、努力和委屈,可是外面大部分的大学生不是每个人都认识青派朋友,不是每个人都能够接触你们,了解你们,明白你们。真的,问问自己,为什么青派的辛苦、努力和委屈外面还是有大部分的学生看不见?问题到底出在哪里?

最后,只想说,我真的支持青派,只是我认为,在实行我们的大目标之前,不要忽略掉一些很细微的东西,因为这些很细微的东西,可以构成民心,成就民主!

没有家,没有国;没有民心,谈何民主?

欲推倒校园不民主之墙,非几人之能力所能办到,它需要的,是群众力量。不要连最基本的都做不到,要给学生们建立信心!只会一味地谴责,其实很难让不关心政治时事的大学生悔改,因为他们本来就对我们不存任何信心,为什么要听从我们的?所以,谴责之余,更重要的是先把基本做好,让他们对我们有信心,才能让他们相信跟着我们走是正确的!

你可以不赞成我的言论,要抨击要责骂随便你,不过你不能剥夺我的言论自由,更不能不让我拥有自己的思维看法。说真的,听也好,不听也好,喜欢也好,不喜欢也罢,随便你。

与所有关心校园政治的你们共勉之

P.S. 当然,若有任何意见或欲给予纠正,笔者还是愿意聆听,至于接纳与否,就看是否有理,谢谢。
