Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Rais Yatim has made a dangerous statement with his false claim that at an official function he attended in the Penang, only Mandarin and English were spoken. Rais should not lie like Utusan Malaysia but prove which Penang state government official function he attended sidelined Bahasa Malaysia<\/p>\n
I suspect that the official function that Rais is referring to is a function in Han Chiang College in Penang where he was the guest of honour representing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on 29 September 2011. I would like to remind Rais that Han Chiang College is a privately run college and the function was organised by Han Chiang and NOT by the state government.
\n
\nRais\u2019 claims that he was the only one talking in the national language and a little bit of English, is untrue. I had also spoken in Bahasa Malaysia, English and Mandarin. Why did Rais not mention that I also spoke in Bahasa Malaysia? If Rais was unhappy with the manner Han Chiang organised the event, why then did he not convey his unhappiness with Han Chiang? Why did he not demand an explanation from Han Chiang?<\/p>\n
Instead Rais has chosen to unfairly blame the state government for a function that is organised by a private college. Making false allegations against the Penang state government is clearly intended to play the racist sentiment that Penang does not appreciate Bahasa Malaysia and not good for national unity. Rais had even urged the Malays in Penang to question this event.<\/p>\n
If Rais can prove which Penang state government official function attended by him did not use Bahasa Malaysia, the Penang state government will act to correct this mistake. However if he fails to show proof, then he should withdraw his remarks and apologise. Otherwise he would be exposed as a man without honour and even a racist for trying to use this lie to work up the sentiments of the Malays. <\/p>\n
The Penang state government wishes to express dismay at the systematic and serial attempts to undermine the Penang state government with lies and racist sentiments. Even though this is to be expected in the general elections season, raising the racial temperature is not only desperate but a highly irresponsible and reckless act that threatens the harmony and stability of our society. <\/p>\n
Even if BN wants to win the general elections, this victory should be with honour based on truth and not lies.<\/p>\n
I am surprised at the ferocity of BN\u2019s latest attacks against the Penang state government and me personally. I will not reply to Rais personal attacks against me. Rais attack follows the ludicrous report in the New Straits Times(NST) and Utusan Malaysia on 2.10.2011 that I may have disclosed national secrets to Singaporeans at a dinner and even questioned my loyalty to my country. <\/p>\n
I can not understand why my loyalty to Malaysia is questioned by the NST news report when I do not possess any Australian PR even though I graduated from Monash University. Shouldn\u2019t BN leaders who had Australian PR have their loyalty questioned by the NST news report? <\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Rais, the ball is in your court, what say you?

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng pada 4.10.2011 di Kuala Lumpur <\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Rais Yatim tidak seharusnya berbohong seperti Utusan Malaysia; sebaliknya beliau harus membuktikan mana satu program rasmi kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang yang dihadiri beliau mengenepikan Bahasa Malaysia.<\/strong><\/p>\n Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Rais Yatim telah membuat kenyataan palsu yang berbahaya bahawa program rasmi yang dihadiri beliau di Pulau Pinang hanya menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris dan Mandarin. Rais seharusnya tidak berbohong seperti Utusan Malaysia; sebaliknya beliau harus membuktikan mana satu program rasmi anjuran Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang yang meminggirkan Bahasa Malaysia.<\/p>\n Saya mengesyaki bahawa program rasmi yang dirujuk oleh Rais adalah satu program di Kolej Han Chiang, Pulau Pinang di mana beliau menjadi tetamu kehormat mewakili Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada 29 September 2011. Saya ingin mengingatkan Rais bahawa Kolej Han Chiang merupakan kolej swasta dan program tersebut dianjurkan oleh Han Chiang dan bukannya Kerajaan Negeri.<\/p>\n Kenyataan Rais bahawa beliau seorang sahaja menggunakan Bahasa Kebangsaan dan sedikit sahaja Bahasa Inggeris adalah tidak benar. Saya juga turut bercakap menggunakan Bahasa Malaysia, Inggeris dan Mandarin. Mengapa Rais tidak menyebut bahawa saya juga turut bertutur dalam Bahasa Malaysia? Jika Rais tidak berasa gembira dengan program yang dianjurkan oleh Kolej Han Chiang, mengapa beliau tidak menyampaikan rasa tidak puas hati tersebut kepada Han Chiang? Mengapa beliau tidak menuntut penjelasan daripada Han Chiang?<\/p>\n Sebaliknya Rais memilih untuk tidak berlaku adil dengan menyalahkan Kerajaan Negeri untuk program yang dianjurkan oleh sebuah kolej swasta. Kenyataan palsu terhadap Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang ini jelas bertujuan untuk memainkan sentimen perkauman kononnya Pulau Pinang tidak menghargai Bahasa Malaysia. Kenyataan sebegini tidak akan menyumbang kepada perpaduan nasional. Rais turut menggesa orang Melayu di Pulau Pinang supaya membangkitkan isu tersebut.<\/p>\n Jika Rais boleh membuktikan mana satu program rasmi Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pianng yang dihadiri beliau tidak menggunakan Bahasa Malaysia, Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang akan mengambil tindakan bagi membetulkan kesalahan tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun sekiranya beliau gagal untuk membuktikannya, maka beliau harus menarik balik dan meminta maaf atas kata-kata tersebut. Jika tidak, beliau akan dituduh sebagai seorang yang tidak bermaruah dan yang bersikap perkauman kerana cuba membangkitkan sentimen perkauman.<\/p>\n Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang ingin menyatakan kekecewaan terhadap percubaan sistematik dan bersiri yang dilakukan untuk melemahkan Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang dengan mengeluarkan kenyataan yang bukan sahaja berbau perkauman tetapi juga jelas merupakan satu pembohongan. Walaupun pilihan raya umum dijangkakan menjelang tiba, pembangkitan isu perkauman bukan sahaja satu cubaan terdesak tetapi juga perbuatan yang sangat tidak bertanggungjawab dan yang boleh mengancam keharmonian dan kestabilan masyarakat.<\/p>\n Walaupun BN mahu menang dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang, kemenangan ini harus bermaruah dan berdasarkan kebenaran, bukan pembohongan.<\/p>\n Saya terkejut dengan serangan terbaru BN terhadap Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang dan peribadi saya sendiri. Saya tidak akan membalas serangan peribadi Rais terhadap saya. Serangan Rais ini mengekori laporan merapu dalam The New Straits Times (NST) dan Utusan Malaysia pada 02\/10\/2011 bahawa ada kemungkinan yang saya telah mendedahkan rahsia negara kepada pemimpin Singapura dalam satu majlis makan malam. Laporan tersebut turut mempersoalkan kesetiaan saya kepada negara.<\/p>\n Saya tidak faham mengapa kesetiaan saya kepada Malaysia turut dipersoalkan seperti mana yang dilaporkan dalam NST apabila saya tidak mempunyai status pemastautin tetap di negara Australia walaupun saya merupakan graduan lulusan Universiti Monash. Kenapa laporan NST tidak pula mempersoalkan kesetiaan pemimpin-pemimpin BN yang mempunyai status PR di Australia?<\/p>\n Datuk Seri Rais, bola berada di gelanggangmu. Apa kata anda?<\/p>\n Lim Guan Eng<\/p>\n —- mandarin translation ——-<\/p>\n
