Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 7.2.2014.<\/p>\n
DAP condemns in the strongest possible terms the outrageous act by pro-UMNO groups at Kuala Lumpur yesterday in encouraging criminal acts of violence against a woman by offering to give RM 1,200 to any person who can film DAP National Vice-Chair and MP for Seputih Teresa Kok being slapped and also urging that non-Malays not fluent in Malay be expelled from the country. These pro-UMNO groups dare to provoke criminal wrongdoings because the practice of double-standards and politicisation of police and prosecution powers have allowed these pro-UMNO groups to escape unpunished whilst the opposition are victimised for offences they did not commit.<\/p>\n
DAP is concerned for Teresa\u2019s safety and will make necessary arrangements with her consent to ensure maximum protection from her. However no protection is full-proof when dealing with racists and fanatics who will do anything for monetary gain.<\/p>\n
These pro-UMNO groups had slaughtered four chickens and smeared the blood on a banner with the faces of DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang, Teresa Kok and myself as well as PKR state assemblyman Lee Khai Loon. Whilst such acts and burning of PR\u2019s leaders\u2019 effigies and portraits are common, these pro-UMNO groups have taken an unprecedented step towards violence and hatred by offering a reward of RM1,200 to anyone who can slap Teresa Kok and film the act to claim the reward.<\/p>\n
Clearly these UMNO supporters are intent on inciting hatred and raising racial tensions to cover up BN\u2019s widespread corruption, failure in economic management and price hikes in sugar, petrol, TNB power tariffs and even insurance premium rates. The proposed highway road toll hikes would have been imposed this year but has been deferred next year to please voters for the Kajang by-election on March 23.<\/p>\n
The inaction by the police have caused these pro-UMNO groups of men to be a disgrace and an international shame not only to Islam but also to all Malays, all men and our beloved country Malaysia. No religion nor any race nor real men would approve the beating up of a woman. As a Malaysian I detest such deplorable acts by UMNO supporters, which only reinforces my commitment and conviction that UMNO and BN must be replaced at the next general elections. However as a man, I feel ashamed that another man can proudly and shamelessly call for a woman to be slapped and be rewarded for it.<\/p>\n
Real men do not beat women and violence should be taken out of public discourse and the political arena. Failing which, democracy fails and Malaysia would spiral downwards towards a dictatorship and an uncivilised society.<\/p>\n
To demonstrate DAP\u2019s utter contempt towards this outrageous act by UMNO supporters, DAP elected representatives will be making police-reports nation-wide. Whilst DAP does not expect any action by the police, DAP wants to raise public alarm to both condemn the escalation of racial tensions by UMNO supporters and protect Teresa Kok from being a victim of any possible assault. The police have to be fully responsible for their failure to either prevent any heightened racial tensions or violence or for failing to ensure the personal and physical safety of Teresa Kok.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 7 Februari 2014.<\/p>\n
Pihak polis mesti memikul tanggungjawab penuh di atas kegagalan untuk menghindarkan ketegangan kaum, keganasan serta kegagalan untuk memastikan keselamatan Teresa Kok.<\/p>\n
DAP mengecam sekeras-kerasnya tindakan melampau puak pro-UMNO di Kuala Lumpur semalam yang menggalakkan tindakan jenayah kekerasan terhadap seorang wanita dengan menawarkan RM1,200 kepada sesiapa yang dapat merakamkan aksinya menempeleng Naip Pengerusi DAP Kebangsaan merangkap Ahli Parlimen Seputeh, Teresa Kok; selain menggesa orang bukan Melayu yang tidak mahir berbahasa Melayu dinyahkan keluar dari negara ini. Keberanian puak pro-UMNO ini mencetuskan provokasi jenayah akibat amalan double-standard dan mempolitikkan pihak polis dan pejabat pendakwaan membenarkan kumpulan pro-UMNO ini terlepas bebas tanpa menerima sebarang tindakan sedangkan pihak pembangkang terus dimangsakan dengan kesalahan yang tidak mereka lakukan.<\/p>\n
DAP sangat bimbang akan keselamatan Teresa dan akan mengambil segala langkah yang perlu dengan izin beliau untuk memastikan keselamatannya terpelihara. Begitu pun, tiada langkah keselamatan yang benar-benar berkesan apabila berdepan dengan puak perkauman dan fanatik yang akan melakukan apa sahaja untuk mendapat duit.<\/p>\n
Kumpulan pro-UMNO ini telah menyembelih empat ekor ayam dan melumurkan darahnya ke kain rentang yang memaparkan wajah pemimpin DAP, Lim Kit Siang, Teresa Kok dan saya sendiri serta ADUN PKR Lee Khai Loon. Meskipun tindakan sedemikian serta aksi membakar patung pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat sudah boleh dianggap biasa, puak pro-UMNO ini telah mengambil langkah baru ke arah keganasan dan kebencian dengan menawarkan upah RM1,200 kepada sesiapa yang sanggup menampar wajah Teresa Kok dan merakamkan aksi itu.<\/p>\n
Jelas sekali penyokong-penyokong UMNO ini begitu berhajat untuk membangkitkan kebencian dan ketegangan kaum demi menutup rasuah BN, kegagalan menguruskan ekonomi serta kenaikan harga gula, petrol, tariff elektrik TNB serta kadar premium insuran. Cadangan untuk menaikkan kadar tol yang sepatutnya dilaksanakan tahun ini juga telah ditangguhkan ke tahun depan demi menyenangkan hati pengundi di Kajang dalam pilihanraya kecil pada 23 Mac nanti.<\/p>\n
Langkah berdiam diri pihak polis telah menyebabkan kumpulan lelaki pro-UMNO ini untuk terus memalukan hatta di peringkat antarabangsa menghina kesucian Islam dan orang Melayu, serta semua lelaki di dalam negara Malaysia yang kita cintai ini. Tidak ada agama mahupun keturunan malah tidak ada lelaki sejati yang akan membiarkan tindakan mengasari seorang wanita. Sebagai seorang warganegara, saya memandang jijik tindakan cela penyokong UMNO ini, yang hanya menguatkan komitmen dan keyakinan saya bahawa UMNO dan BN mesti dihumban dalam pilihanraya umum akan datang. Sebagai seorang lelaki, saya amat malu apabila seorang lelaki lain begitu bangga dan tanpa segan silu menyeru supaya seorang wanita ditempeleng demi upah wang ringgit.<\/p>\n
Lelaki sejati tidak memukul perempuan, dan keganasan seharusnya tidak dilibatkan dalam wacana umum dan lapangan politik. Seandainya gagal, demokrasi turut gagal dan Malaysia akan jatuh merudum ke arah pemerintahan bercorak diktator dan membentuk masyarakat yang tidak bertamadun.<\/p>\n
Untuk menunjukkan betapa marahnya DAP terhadap tindakan melampau para penyokong UMNO ini, wakil-wakil rakyat DAP akan membuat laporan polis di seluruh negara. Meskipun DAP tidak mengharapkan sebarang tindakan oleh pihak polis, DAP mahu membangkitkan kesedaran awam untuk mengecam ketegangan kaum yang cuba dibangkitkan oleh penyokong-penyokong UMNO serta melindungi Teresa Kok daripada menjadi mangsa keganasan. Pihak polis mesti memikul tanggungjawab penuh di atas kegagalan untuk menghindarkan ketegangan kaum, keganasan serta kegagalan untuk memastikan keselamatan Teresa Kok.<\/p>\n
