Lim Guan Eng calls for unity to counter PAS and Umno’s racial, religious politics

In a recent statement, DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng urged Malaysians to oppose the extremist politics promoted by PAS and Umno during their party gatherings, which he claims undermine the Federal Constitution and the rule of law.

Lim criticized PAS for barring non-Muslims from key Cabinet roles and accused Umno of destabilizing the government.

He suggested measures to counter these political trends, emphasizing the protection of constitutional rights, economic equity, and national unity.

Lim also called for improvements in education, environmental protection, healthcare, and infrastructure to foster integration across Malaysia's diverse society.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 — DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng has called on Malaysians to unite against what he described as the “dangerous brand of extremist politics” projected by PAS and Umno following their respective party gatherings.

In a written statement today, Lim said the conclusion of the PAS Muktamar and Umno General Assembly had projected politics centred on religious and racial dominance without respecting the “basic spirit and fundamental tenets” of the Federal Constitution and the rule of law.

He said PAS had reached “new lows” by publicly barring non-Muslims from prominent Cabinet positions, while Umno was openly working to undermine the government it was part of by trying to accelerate the collapse of the unity government to save its leaders.

“Malaysians must unite against this dangerous brand of extremist politics and prevent radical policies that can threaten the nation state embodied in the Federal Constitution,” he said.

Lim proposed 10 areas that he said could help counter PAS and Umno while fostering national unity in Malaysia’s multiracial society and greater integration between Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

These include upholding the Federal Constitution and rule of law, defending democracy and the separation of powers, and protecting the autonomy of Sabah and Sarawak.

He also called for the constitutional rights of all Malaysians to be protected regardless of race, gender, religion or background, alongside measures to generate economic growth, cut red tape and reduce taxes, utility, compliance and regulatory costs.

Lim said economic benefits should be shared more equitably, particularly among the 17 million-strong workforce, through measures to reduce the cost of living and tackle “toxic rentier economic practices and crony capitalism”.

On education, he called for excellence and a merit-based curriculum with a single examination system to address Malaysia’s declining PISA rankings.

He also proposed greater protection for the natural environment and cultural heritage, basic healthcare for all, and wider access to affordable digital education and opportunities, alongside safeguards against scams and cyberbullying.

Lim said investment in physical infrastructure was also needed to provide good roads, strong public transport and reliable power and water supplies.

民主行动党主席林冠英在最近的一份声明中敦促马来西亚人反对伊斯兰党和巫统在党内集会上宣扬的极端政治，他声称这些政治破坏了联邦宪法和法治。

林冠英批评伊斯兰党禁止非穆斯林担任内阁要职，并指责巫统破坏政府稳定。

他提出了应对这些政治趋势的措施，强调保护宪法权利、经济公平和国家团结。

林冠英还呼吁改善教育、环境保护、医疗保健和基础设施，以促进马来西亚多元化社会的融合。

吉隆坡，9月13日讯——民主行动党主席林冠英呼吁马来西亚人民团结起来，反对伊斯兰党和巫统在各自党内集会后所展现的“危险的极端主义政治”。

林冠英今天在一份书面声明中表示，伊斯兰党大会和巫统大会的结论表明，政治是以宗教和种族统治为中心的，没有尊重联邦宪法的“基本精神和根本原则”以及法治。

他表示，伊斯兰党公开禁止非穆斯林担任内阁要职，此举已“刷新下限”；而巫统则公开试图通过加速联合政府的垮台来保住其领导人，从而破坏其所在的政府。

他说：“马来西亚人必须团结起来，反对这种危险的极端主义政治，并阻止可能威胁联邦宪法所体现的民族国家的激进政策。”

林冠英提出了10个领域，他认为这些领域可以帮助对抗伊斯兰党和巫统，同时促进马来西亚多种族社会的民族团结，并加强沙巴、砂拉越和马来西亚半岛之间的融合。

其中包括维护联邦宪法和法治，捍卫民主和权力分立，以及保护沙巴和砂拉越的自治权。

他还呼吁保护所有马来西亚人的宪法权利，无论其种族、性别、宗教或背景如何，同时采取措施促进经济增长，减少繁文缛节，降低税收、公用事业、合规和监管成本。

林冠英表示，经济利益应该更加公平地分配，尤其是在1700万劳动力中，可以通过采取措施降低生活成本，并打击“有害的食利经济行为和裙带资本主义”。

在教育方面，他呼吁追求卓越，实行以成绩为导向的课程，并采用单一的考试制度，以解决马来西亚在 PISA 排名中不断下滑的问题。

他还提议加强对自然环境和文化遗产的保护，为所有人提供基本医疗保健，并扩大人们获得负担得起的数字教育和机会的途径，同时采取措施防止诈骗和网络欺凌。

林表示，还需要投资基础设施建设，以提供良好的道路、强大的公共交通以及可靠的电力和供水。
