Tribute to S. A. Ganapathy and Lim Chin Siong: Develop the selfless devotion spirit of these eminent leaders of the Malaya labour movement

First media statement on the co-organisation of forum dated 3 March 2016

Tribute to S. A. Ganapathy and Lim Chin Siong:
Develop the selfless devotion spirit of these eminent leaders of the Malaya labour movement



5 February this year is the 20th anniversary of the departure of Lim Chin Siong, the eminent leader of national liberation and democratic struggle in Malaya. On 23 January, Sahabat Rakyat released an article entitled The Best Way to Commemorate Lim Chin Siong Is To Propagate His Ideology and Ideal (《纪念林清祥的最好办法就是宣扬他的思想理念》) in Chinese language. We hope that this article will arouse the reflection of those who were actively involved in the national liberation and democratic struggle of the people of Malaya (including Singapore). We also hope that the new generation who are currently actively involved in the democratic revolution struggle of Malaysia and Singapore will gain a better understanding on the practice of the struggle of anti-colonialisation for independence and democracy jointly carried out by the people of Malaya and Singapore before 1950s and 1960s.

On 5 February this year, Sahabat Rakyat published the English rendition of Part of Lim Chin Siong's Q&A Posthumous Manuscript (《林清祥<答问>遗稿片段》) and the Editor’s Notes specially written for publishing this manuscript done by the secretariat to the best of their ability on Sahabat Rakyat blog. Subsequently, on 22 February, the English rendition of The Best Way to Commemorate Lim Chin Siong Is to Propagate His Ideology and Ideal mentioned above was published. This is to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Lim Chin Siong’s departure by providing an opportunity to the ethnic communities (such as Indian and Malay communities and minority groups) who do not understand Chinese language and the non-Chinese-educated communities to correctly understand Lim Chin Siong’s view on the national liberation and democratic struggle of the people of Malaya and Singapore and the summing-up of his experience on the anti-colonialisation struggle.

In the light of (i) The Indian working class in Malaysia is an especially important hard core of the national liberation and democratic movement in our country, and (ii) Sahabat Rakyat has been maintaining a close partnership with HINDRAF (Hindu Rights Action Force) in recent years, Sahabat Rakyat contacted HINDRAF Johor in late 2015. In a few discussions with HINDRAF Johor, Sahabat Rakyat expressed its aspiration to jointly organise a forum entitled “Propagate Lim Chin Siong‘s ideology and ideal in commemoration of this labour movement leader” with them. After that, HINDRAF Johor suggested to invite Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) Nusajaya branch to co-organise along. Upon detailed discussion among the three parties, a working committee was jointly established on 22 February 2016. The resolutions made are:

(i) HINDRAF to provide an article to commemorate S.A. Ganapathy, an Indian labour movement leader and the spirit of his struggle to serve as an “supplementary content” for the theme of the forum
(ii) To jointly organise a forum with the theme “Tribute to S. A. Ganapathy and Lim Chin Siong: Develop the selfless devotion spirit of these eminent leaders of the Malaya labour movement”.

S.A. Ganapathy is an eminent Indian leader emerged in the anti-colonialisation and labour movement of Malaya (including Singapore) in 1930s and 1940s. He was the first President of Pan-Malayan Federation of Trade Unions (PMFTU), which had more than 300 thousands members.

Lim Chin Siong is an eminent Chinese leader emerged in the anti-colonialisation and labour movement of Malaya (including Singapore) in 1950s and 1960s. He was a political leader with strong grassroots support whom had made Lee Kuan Yew worried waking or sleeping and had to devastate him after seizing ruling power.

The selfless devotion spirit of these two figures towards the national liberation and democratic struggle of Malaya should be highly respected and carried forward. For this, we have invited the following six persons to become panel speakers of our forum. We hope that they could share their views, from their own perspectives, about these 2 historical figures including their spirit, with the democrats of all ethnic communities from Malaysia and Singapore.

1. Poh Soo Kai, Former Assistant Secretary General of Barisan Sosialis of Singapore
2. Dominic Puthucheary, one of the founding members of People’s Action Party (PAP) Singapore and former trade union leader
3. P. Waytha Moorthy, Chairman of HINDRAF
4. S. Arutchelvan, Secretariat of Left Coalition of Malaysia
5. Saminathan Munisamy, author of www.malayaganapathy.com website
6. Chin Chong Cham (Chen Jian), historian of the Singapore and Malaysia left-wing movement

Even if any of the invited panel speakers is unable to make it to the forum, we very much hope that they will still provide a paper for this forum.

Particulars of the forum are as follows:

Date:20 March 2016 (Sunday)
Time:2:00pm to 6:00pm

工委会议决:将徐袖珉除名

人民之友工委会2020年9月27日常月会议针对徐袖珉(英文名: See Siew Min)半年多以来胡闹的问题,议决如下:

鉴于徐袖珉长期以来顽固推行她的“颜色革命”理念和“舔美仇华”思想,蓄意扰乱人民之友一贯以来的“反对霸权主义,反对种族主义”政治立场,阴谋分化甚至瓦解人民之友推动真正民主改革的思想阵地,人民之友工委会经过长时间的考察和验证,在2020年9月27日会议议决;为了明确人民之友创立以来的政治立场以及贯彻人民之友现阶段以及今后的政治主张,必须将徐袖珉从工委会名单上除名,并在人民之友部落格发出通告,以绝后患。

[ 漫画新解 ]
新冠病毒疫情下的马来西亚
舔美精神患者的状态

年轻一辈人民之友有感而作


注:这“漫画新解”是反映一名自诩“智慧高人一等”而且“精于民主理论”的老姐又再突发奇想地运用她所学会的一丁点“颜色革命”理论和伎俩来征服人民之友队伍里的学弟学妹们的心理状态——她在10多年前曾在队伍里因时时表现自己是超群精英,事事都要别人服从她的意愿而人人“惊而远之”,她因此而被挤出队伍近10年之久。

她在三年前被一名年长工委推介,重新加入人民之友队伍。可是,就在今年年初她又再故态复萌,尤其是在3月以来,不断利用部落格的贴文,任意扭曲而胡说八道。起初,还以“不同意见者”的姿态出现,以博取一些不明就里的队友对她的同情和支持,后来,她发现了她的欺骗伎俩无法得逞之后,索性撤下了假面具,对人民之友一贯的“反对霸权主义、反对种族主义”的政治立场,发出歇斯底里的叫嚣,而暴露她设想人民之友“改旗易帜”的真面目!

尤其是在新冠病毒疫情(COVID-19)课题上,她公然猖狂跟人民之友的政治立场对着干,指责人民之友服务于中国文宣或大中华,是 “中国海外统治部”、“中华小红卫兵”等等等等。她甚至通过强硬粗暴手段擅自把我们的WhatsApp群组名称“Sahabat Rakyat Malaysia”改为“吐槽美国样衰俱乐部”这样的无耻行动也做得出来。她的这种种露骨的表现足以说明了她是一名赤裸裸的“反中仇华”份子。

其实,在我们年轻队友看来,这名嘲讽我们“浪费了20年青春”[人民之友成立至今近20年(2001-9-9迄今)]并想要“拯救我们年轻工委”的这位“徐大姐”,她的思想依然停留在20年前的上个世纪。她初始或许是不自觉接受了“西方民主”和“颜色革命”思想的培养,而如今却是自觉地为维护美国的全球霸权统治而与反对美国霸权支配全球的中国人民和全世界各国(包括马来西亚)人民为敌。她是那么狂妄自大,却是多么幼稚可笑啊!

她所说的“你们浪费了20年青春”正好送回给她和她的跟班,让他们把她的这句话吞到自己的肚子里去!

"公知"及其跟班的精神面貌

注:这“漫画新解”是与<人民之友>4月24日转贴的美国政客叫嚣“围剿中国”煽动颠覆各国民间和组织 >(原标题为<当心!爱国队伍里混进了这些奸细……>)这篇文章有关联的。这篇文章作者沈逸所说的“已被欧美政治认同洗脑的‘精神欧美人’”正是马来西亚“公知”及其跟班的精神面貌的另一种写照!

"舔美"狗狗的角色

注:这“漫画新解”是与《察网》4月22日刊林爱玥专栏文章<公知与鲁迅之间 隔着整整一个中国 >这篇文章有关联的,这是由于这篇文章所述说的中国公知,很明显是跟这组漫画所描绘的马来西亚的“舔美”狗狗,有着孪生兄弟姐妹的亲密关系。

欲知其中详情,敬请点击、阅读上述文章内容,再理解、品味以下漫画的含义。这篇文章和漫画贴出后,引起激烈反响,有人竟然对号入座,暴跳如雷且发出恐吓,众多读者纷纷叫好且鼓励加油。编辑部特此接受一名网友建议:在显著的布告栏内贴出,方便网友搜索、浏览,以扩大宣传教育效果。谢谢关注!谢谢鼓励!
