巴西古当国会议员哈山卡林(Hassan
Karim)今天表示,《联邦宪法》第153条文下的平权行动政策(The affirmative
action
policies)需要重新审视,以真正造福被边缘化或经济上处于不利地位的土著以及非土著。
亲土著政策只让少数朋党马来精英受益
哈山卡林在一份声明中说:
“必须废除卡特尔和垄断政策以及所有已获批准的许可特权,因为它只让统治阶级的少数朋党马来精英受益。
“现在的首要任务必须转移到维护全国数百万贫穷和落后的马来人的利益,”
这位公正党国会议员补充说,这项政策应该包括来自其他种族背景的同样处于不利地位的马来西亚人。
其他种族人士,也必须得到平等的保护
他说:“那些与弱势马来人和土著有着相同命运的其他种族人士,也必须得到平等的保护。”
“如果我们能够实现这一点,只有这样,我们才能称安华的团结政府为‘昌明’政府(‘Madani’
government)。”
哈山评论《联邦宪法》第 153
条文下关于马来人和土著的平权行动政策:据说该政策是有争议的,而一直遭受统治势力排斥对它的改革。
他说,承认马来人特殊地位的平权政策从来都不是一个资本主义经济哲学。
他解释说,如果这项政策是以类似于社会主义方式的阶级途径实施,而优先考虑马来人,那么特定种族早就可以摆脱贫困和在经济上处于不利地位。
马哈迪掌政的22年实施大规模私有化
哈山说:“在我门获得独立以来的 66 年里,尤其是在 2018
年大选前的在当时的第四任首相马哈迪的掌政下的22
年里,占支配地位的马来政党巫统实施的是资本主义经济发展方式。”
在马哈迪领导下,马来西亚在 1980 年代和 90
年代对政府所拥有的公司实施了大规模私有化。
马哈迪把国家电力局和国家电信局等实体从国有国营地位转变为私有私营。
私有化培养了少数马来人成为亿万富豪
哈山声称,通过私有化,马哈迪成功培养了少数马来人成为亿万财富的企业巨头。
但这位公正党人士补充说,数百万其他马来人仍然是城市中的低薪蓝领工人,以及农村地区的贫困农民和渔民。
此外,他补充说,自从1957年取得独立以来,巫统作为当时最强大的马来政党,本应采用阶级方案来解决贫困和经济失衡问题。
哈山说,“如果实施了这种方案,那么马来人的命运就不会像今天这样了。”

JOHOR BARU, May 4 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should review
the provisions under Article 153 of the Federal Constitution to eliminate
rent-seekers under the guise of addressing economic imbalance for the
Malays and Bumiputera.
Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim today said the affirmative action
policies under Article 153 of the Federal Constitution needs a new look so
that it will really benefit the Bumiputera as well as the non-Bumiputera
who are marginalised or economically disadvantaged.
“Cartel and monopolistic policies with all the approved permit privileges
must be abolished, as it has only benefited a few crony Malay elites in
the upper class.
“The priority must now shift to safeguarding the interests of millions of
poor and backward Malays throughout the country,” Hassan said in a
statement.
The PKR politician added that Malaysians from other ethnic backgrounds
who are similarly disadvantaged should be included.
“Those who have the same fate as the disadvantaged Malays and Bumiputeras
must also be defended equally.
“If we manage to implement this, only then can we call Anwar’s unity
government a ‘Madani’ government,” he said.
Hassan was commenting on the affirmative action policies for Malays and
Bumiputera under Article 153 of the Federal Constitution that is said to
be controversial and has always been subjected to political opposition
against its reforms.
He said the policy of affirmative action that recognises the special
position of the Malays was never a capitalist economic philosophy.
He explained that if the policy was implemented in a class approach that
is similar to the socialist approach by giving priority to the Malays,
then the particular race would have been freed from poverty and being
economically disadvantaged a long time ago.
“What happened during the 66 years since we gained independence was that
the dominant Malay party Umno took a capitalist economic development
approach, especially under the administration of the then fourth prime
minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for 22 years before the 2018 general
election,” he said.
Under Dr Mahathir, Malaysia implemented large-scale privatisation on
government-owned companies in the 1980s and 1990s.
Entities such as the National Electricity Board and the Telecoms
Department were changed from state to privatised ownership or
control.
Hassan claimed that through privatisation, Dr Mahathir succeeded in
producing a handful of successful Malays to become wealthy corporate
figures.
But the PKR man added that millions of other Malays remained as
lowly-paid, blue-collar workers in the cities and poor farmers and
fishermen in the rural areas.
In addition, he added that since achieving independence in 1957, Umno,
which was the strongest Malay party at the time, should have implemented a
class approach in dealing with poverty and economic imbalance.
“If such an approach was done, then the fate of the Malays will not be
like it is today,” Hassan said. ▉
