槟州行动党总部遭泼漆 陈清凉严厉谴责肇事者

马华槟州妇女组主席陈清凉针对槟州行动党总部和服务中心遭人泼红漆一事，严厉谴责肇事者的卑鄙行为，并促请警方尽快介入调查和逮捕肇事者。

“我们可能属于不同的政治团体并持有不同的意见，但肇事者的行为已经形成了一个对立的局面，更何况，暴力或恐吓手段是不能解决任何问题的。无论一个人对政党或该政党领袖有任何不满，应该通过理性的沟通，从根本解决问题。”

陈清凉指出，通过研讨会、对话、论坛或投诉信函都是当事人可以采取的方式，不应该把不满的兴趣诉诸于破坏行为。

“这种暴力和仇恨的行为同样发生在朝野政党身上，在敦拉萨镇国会选区一带张挂的蔡智勇和卡立肖像的横幅也遭人破坏，前者人头照被利刀割破、喷红漆、甚至被写上“欺骗”字眼，还有上个星期槟州国阵宣传车遭泼红漆等，除了对人身安全构成威胁，也破坏了国家的和谐的安宁。”

“破坏的举动是令人发指的行为，肇事者可能没有意识到，这是出卖他们懦弱的表现，也会造成反效果。”

陈清凉呼吁各界人士理性看到这件事情，并希望大家勿对此事采取过激的反应，并给予时间警方进行调查工作。

Vandalism against Penang DAP HQ denounced– Wanita MCA Penang

Without mincing our words, Wanita MCA Penang repudiates the vandalism against the Penang DAP Headquarters and the three DAP service centres. While we may belong to separate political ideologies, where there is harm to a structure or intended against individuals even from the opposite camp, Wanita MCA will condemn such vile acts.

Violence or intimidation is not the answer. Whatever dissatisfaction an individual has against any party or politician should be discussed in a rational manner be it at seminars, dialogue sessions with political leaders, forums or lodging any complaints in writing to the party concerned without resorting to desecrating the buildings.

The offenders may not realise, but such heinous acts which betray their cowardice may actually have the counter effect of winning their opponents sympathy.

Wanita MCA urges the police to investigate the matter thoroughly, and nab the culprits.

Meanwhile, we appeal for calm and urge the public not to over-react nor resort to retaliatory measures. Let the police do their job in probing.
