Malaysia must have a sense of fairness
Recently， I came across a commentary by Zhang Muqin in the Nanyang Siang Pau which a friend had brought from Kuala Lumpur (The article was reproduced in Lianhe Zaobao on September 21-ed). I agree with what he wrote. As a Malaysian citizen， I (as well as many other compatriots working here in Singapore) am not being unsupportive of my own country， but I do believe reason comes before loyalty. I do not see anything wrong with Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew publishing his memoirs. Prime Minister Mahathir says the memoirs have angered the Malaysian people. As a Malaysian， I do not feel particularly angered in any way! In truth， he should have said the memoirs had angered himself， for he seems to be the one who is reacting the most violently. He is only using the Malaysian people as a pretext， and my ignorant compatriots are being made use of by him.
In his commentary， Zhang Muqin mentioned that SM Lee chose his 75th birthday to launch his memoirs. Why should h even consider whether the launch would clash with the foul moods of those who have lost money in the stock market! In contrast， I find Singaporeans more rational. Despite them having foul moods after their Malaysian stocks were stolen from under their noses， they still managed to celebrate their leader's birthday. And they did not blame anyone at all. Aren't we Malaysians a petty lot! From time to time， when our leaders speak about cutting off other people's water supply and some other unreasonable matters， they are the ones who are not taking other people'sfeelings into consideration!
Recently， when I read what (the Economic Adviser to the Malaysian Government) Mr Daim Zainuddin said about Singapore on the closing of CLOB—"They didn't listen to us， they thought we were idiots." — I did not know what to think. It is hard to fathom that a leader of a country could utter such words. It was no different from how a child would speak.
I feel that if my country's government is out to get the Singapore government， then challenge them directly! Stop all this squabbling， which is most undignified. Malaysia's priority should be solving the nation's economic problems， and not putting the blame on others. As for Transport Minister Dr Ling Liong Sik， you had better wake up and smell the coffee. What have you done for the Chinese Malaysians except to fan the flames and stoke up fires everywhere you go! And a word to Johor UMNO Youth: There is no need to ban Lee Kuan Yew from entering Malaysia. Even if you roll out your best red carpet， he will not deign to go to Malaysia. Just like us Malaysians working in Singapore who are not so keen to go back.
It is indeed fortunate that even under these circumstances， we Malaysian workers are accepted here. At least Singaporeans do not make things difficult for us.This is something Malaysians are not capable of doing.
We are luckier than the Singaporeans in Malaysia. For instance， the booing of the Singaporean contingent by our citizens during the Commonwealth Games showed up our total lack of sportsmanship. To think that our leaders were so pleased with what was going on! ( The writer is a Malaysian working in Singapore )
馬來西亞對鄰國有欠公平
朋友最近從吉隆坡帶來一份《南洋商報》，無意中讀到張木欽的 評論(編者按：本報于9月21日在《言論》版轉載了這篇文章)，我 很贊同他的看法。身為馬來西亞公民的我(甚至還有很多在新加坡工 作的同胞們)，并不是不支持祖國，而是幫理不幫親。
對于李光耀資政出版的回憶錄，我也深感沒什么不對。馬哈迪首 相說這激怒了馬公民，身為馬公民的我并不覺得被激怒了!其實應該 說是激怒了他本身才對，因為反應最激烈的就是他。他只不過把人民 拿來作擋箭牌而已，無知的同胞們就這樣的被利用了。
張先生提到李資政在慶祝75歲大壽時發布該書，難道還要考慮別 人輸了股票心情不好嗎!相反，這方面我覺得新加坡人就顯得理智些 ，因為他們的馬股最近被人偷了。在這種很糟透的心情下，還替他們 的領袖慶祝生日，也沒有埋怨任何人，是不是顯得我們有點小家子氣 呢?還有，我們的領袖在發表言論時，也不時提到要切斷人家的水供 及其他不合理的事時，有沒有考慮到別人的感受呢? 最近更看到我們的(政府經濟顧問)達因先生，針對自撮股市關 閉一事，講了這么一句話：“(新加坡)不聽我們的話，以為我們是 笨蛋”。這更是令人啼笑皆非。作為一個國家的領袖，很難想象這樣 的話是由他講出來的，這跟小孩子有什么分別? 我覺得如果我國政府是沖著新加坡政府而來，那么就向他們提出 挑戰吧!不要吵來吵去，有失君子風度。國難當前應該先解決經濟問 題，而不是埋怨任何人。尤其是交通部長林良實醫生應該醒一醒，你 對馬國華人做了些什么呢!只會拿著一把扇子到處煽風。柔佛巫青團 也不用禁止李光耀入境馬來西亞，就算你用八大轎子請他來，他也未 必想來。就好像我們這些馬公民在新加坡工作后，為什么不想回自己 的祖國一樣。
很慶幸的，是我們這些在新加坡工作的馬公民在這種情況下，還 是受到新加坡的認同。至少新加坡沒有為難我們，我們比起在馬來西 亞的新加坡公民幸運多了，這是馬來西亞所做不到的。就拿共和聯邦 運動會來說吧!我國公民向新加坡運動員喝倒彩一事就可看得出，我 們的體育精神去了哪里?我們的領袖還沾沾自喜呢!
