M'sians ready to discuss 'social contract'
It is required to note which there is a range of views amongst us upon a amicable stipulate emanate as well as upon how to respond to a prime minister's advice. One co-worker has argued which it is not yet time for an organised effort of civil multitude to make such a matter as it might incite negative reactions which might be harmful to a usual pursuit of a fair as well as united nation.
Another has voiced regard which you contingency not fool around in to a hands of politicians who will mobilize Malay support by perplexing to show which a non-Malays have reneged upon their so-called guarantee to accept Malay domestic superiority in exchange for citizenship.
A third co-worker has noted which there is really no need to contest what is 'written' in a amicable contract. Rather, you should subject where a duplicate of a amicable stipulate is to be found so you can determine as well as plead a contents as well as meaning.
Despite a different points of view, you have been in agreement upon 3 pass points.
- It is vicious for Malaysians not to be gagged in to silence upon what is maybe a many contentious emanate station in a approach of better inter-communal relations in a country. The quicker you can reach accord upon what a amicable stipulate means not usually in conditions of what was agreed by a nation's early leaders in a past but also, some-more importantly, upon how this agreement should be accepted by Malaysians currently a reduction divided as well as some-more carefree will be a future.
- For us to reach this consensus, it is vicious to have a contribution upon what took place during which v! icious d uration of a history fully disclosed as well as accessible for public discussion. In particular, you will need to have a applicable reports of a Reid Commission so which Malaysians have a event to read as well as understand a proof as well as wisdom of a early leaders as well as do not have to depend upon politically lopsided interpretations of what is supposed to contain any agreement or amicable stipulate for which period.
- At a same time it is required for inherent as well as authorised experts, historians as well as alternative scholars to lend their imagination to a public understanding. Professional organisations such as a Bar Council, a Malaysian Social Science Association, as well as alternative bodies should organise talks, seminars as well as forums to ensure which a most appropriate minds upon a subject can have their opinions disseminated to a public.
We believe which a Malaysian public has reached a turn of domestic majority so which you can have a receptive as well as public discuss upon a approach brazen in conditions of any inter-communal accord or bargain arrived at, as well as upon what needs to be honoured as well as respected.
For which reason, you have been opposed to a position of Umno as well as MCA which is tantamount to decreeing a anathema upon public contention of a issue.
The risk is which in not debating a emanate plainly which is what a two categorical BN parties appear to be pushing during there is a real risk not usually of pushing which discuss subterraneous but also of reinforcing or entrenching ethnocentric interpretations which do not simulate a loyal intent of a inherent agreement reached some-more than 50 years ago.
The on top of matter is sealed by Dr Lim Teck Ghee, Dr Mavis Puthucheary, Dr Azmi Sharom, Dr Toh Kin Woon as well as Dr Wan Zawawi Ibrahim.
