Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 11 June 2011.<\/p>\n
Ordinary peace-loving Malaysians are fed up and repulsed by the uncivilized demands of Datuk Ibrahim Ali and Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ali Rustam for the revocation of Bersih Chairperson Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan\u2019s citizenship.<\/p>\n
Ali Rustam\u2019s statement, saying that it was \u201cbetter to just lose one person than to lose a lot of lives\u201d is a thinly veiled threat and utterly irresponsible as an elected Chief Minister.Such uncouth remarks are uncalled for and not only unjustifiable but also unconstitutional with racist and seditious intent.<\/p>\n
Article 9 of the Federal Constitution states that: \u201cNo citizen shall be banished or excluded from the Federation\u201d, whereas Article 25 provides for the revocation of citizenship only for naturalised citizens, i.e. \u201c(1) The Federal Government may by order deprive of his citizenship any person who is a citizen by registration under Article 16A or 17 or a citizen by naturalisation if satisfied \u2013 (a) that he has shown himself by act or speech to be disloyal or disaffected towards the Federation\u201d.<\/p>\n
In other words, no Malaysian whose parents are also Malaysians can have their citizenship revoked unless they themselves renounce it. This shows that there is no basis for such a demand by both Ibrahim Ali and Ali Rustam.
\nThe DAP therefore condemns such insidious rhetoric, which is both seditious and racist. Why is it that such demands are only made against non-Malays and never upon Malays?<\/p>\n
Just like those before them who have vilified other non-Malays as pendatang, likening Indians to beggars and Chinese women to prostitutes, these venomous remarks appear to be directed to Datuk Ambiga because she is of Indian ethnicity. <\/p>\n
\\We call upon the Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein to initiate firm action upon Ibrahim Ali and Ali Rustam for their seditious and racially inflammatory remarks.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, we also call upon Prime Minster Dato\u2019 Sri Najib Tun Razak to display commitment to his 1Malaysia slogan by demanding the resignation of Ali Rustam as the Chief Minister of Malacca. Such remarks made by Ali Rustam are irresponsible and unbecoming of his stature.<\/p>\n
If Hishamuddin and Najib fail to take action, it will mean that they and the rest of UMNO are in acquiescence. After all, silence implies approval.<\/p>\n
In this case, it is not just UMNO who are responsible but also all the other BN component parties who have stood by without saying a word. If they cannot even utter a word of protest and demand action to be taken against such hateful remarks against their fellow Malaysians, then they are irrelevant and ineffective.<\/p>\n
All peace-loving and true Malaysians are fed-up with unending racial shenanigans of UMNO and its mouthpieces. We demand that action be taken in these most vicious remarks, which are not only a personal insult to Datuk Ambiga, but also an insult against all Malaysians in general and the Indian community in particular.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng pada 11 Julai 2011 di Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
Rakyat Malaysia biasa yang cintakan keamanan sudah bosan dan menangkis permintaan yang tidak bertamadun oleh Datuk Ibrahim Ali dan Ketua Menteri Melaka, Datuk Seri Ali Rustam yang mahu kewarganegaraan Pengerusi Bersih, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan dibatalkan.<\/p>\n
Kenyataan Ali Rustam yang berbunyi \u201cadalah lebih baik kehilangan seorang daripada kehilangan banyak nyawa\u201d merupakan ancaman berselindung secara halus dan benar- benar tidak bertanggungjawab sebagai Ketua Menteri yang dipilih.<\/p>\n
Kenyataan biadap sedemikian masih belum disiasat dan bukan sahaja tidak wajar tetapi juga tidak berpelembagaan dengan bersifat perkauman dan menghasut. <\/p>\n
Perkara 9 Perlembagaan Persekutuan menyatakan bahawa: \u201cTiada seorang pun warganegara boleh dibuang negeri atau dikecualikan daripada Persekutuan\u201d, sedangkan Perkara 25 menyediakan peruntukan bagi pembatalan kewarganegaraan hanya untuk mereka yang mempunyai kerakyatan tetap. Iaitu 1) Kerajaan Persekutuan melalui perintah boleh melucutkan kewarganegaraan mana- mana individu yang mempunyai kewarganegaraan melalui pendaftaran di bawah Artikel 16A atau 17 atau warganegara tetap jika berpuas hati- (a) bahawa dia telah menunjukkan dirinya melalui perbuatan atau percakapan yang menunjukkan dia tidak setia atau tidak berpuas hati dengan Persekutuan\u201d.<\/p>\n
Dalam erti kata lain, tiada rakyat Malaysia yang ibu bapanya juga rakyat Malaysia boleh dibatalkan kewarganegaraan melainkan mereka sendiri membuangnya. Ini menunjukkan bahawa tidak ada asas bagi permohonan oleh kedua dua Ibrahim Ali dan Ali Rustam. <\/p>\n
Atas sebab itulah, DAP mengutuk perbuatan retorik yang berbahaya di mana berbau hasutan dan perkauman. Mengapa tuntutan ini hanya dibuat terhadap orang bukan Melayu dan tidak pernah berlaku kepada Melayu?<\/p>\n
Sama seperti orang- orang bukan Melayu yang sebelum ini yang telah dicerca sebagai pendatang, menyamakan India seperti pengemis dan wanita cina sebagai pelacur, ternyata kenyataan- kenyataan berbisa ini ditujukan kepada Datuk Ambiga disebabkan dia adalah dari keturunan India. <\/p>\n
Kami menyeru Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein untuk mengambil tindakan tegas ke atas Ibrahim Ali dan Ali Rustam atas kata- kata berunsur hasutan dan perkauman ini.<\/p>\n
Selain itu, kami juga menyeru Perdana Menteri Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak supaya menunjukkan komitmen terhadap slogan 1 Malaysia dengan menuntut agar Ali Rustam digugurkan sebagai Ketua Menteri Melaka. Kenyataan- kenyataan oleh Ali Rustam ternyata tidak bertanggungjawab dan tidak berpatutan dengan jawatannya.<\/p>\n
Jika Hishamuddin dan Najib gagal untuk mengambil tindakan, ini bermakna mereka dan ahli UMNO yang lain juga bersetuju dengan kenyataan tersebut. Diam tanpa setuju.<\/p>\n
Dalam kes ini, bukan UMNO sahaja tidak bertanggungjawab tetapi semua parti komponen BN lain yang berdiam diri juga turut tidak bertanggungjawab. Jika mereka tidak menyebut perkataan bantahan dan menuntut agar tindakan terhadap kenyataan berbau kebencian ini diambil terhadap rakyat Malaysia, ini bermakna mereka juga tidak relevan dan berkesan. <\/p>\n
Semua rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan keamanan sudah bosan dengan penipuan dan perkauman yang tiada kesudahan oleh UMNO dan konco- konconya. Kami menuntut agar tindakan diambil terhadap kenyataan berbau zalim, yang bukan sahaja menghina peribadi Datuk Ambiga tetapi juga satu penghinaan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia secara am dan masyarakat India khususnya.<\/p>\n
