在举国欢度国庆日，庆祝国家独立48周年之际，我们听见民众愉悦的欢呼声。可是有些声音却悄然地被淹没。。。
 Ai Ling: 国庆日就跟平常的日子一样，我会待在家里听电视。已经五年了，我没再上过学，因为我看不见。十二岁那年，在动了手术切除脑瘤之后，脑部出现了积水的现象。渐渐地视觉神经受到影响，视线也逐渐模糊。。。直到我什么也看不见了。听说看不见的人能学布莱尔盲文点字法来读书，但我住的地方及邻近的市区里都没有盲人/特殊教育学校，而我们也没办法举家搬迁到其他城市去住。我的家人一直都很烦恼，因为他们不知道能从哪里获得社会福利的资讯。
Sharifah : 我想，虽然在行动上有点不便，但我还是喜欢到外面看看。其实，若道路旁的路缘石及建筑物的出入口处都设有斜坡道，而公共巴士都装备方便轮椅使用者上下车的机械升降滑道的话，我想我乘着轮椅外出活动是没问题的。在槟城有一家美食坊设有残障人士保留停车位。停车位子接近室外的用餐桌椅，为我的行动提供了非常大的便利。我想，只要多一点行动空间，多一些设施便利，我们都可以尽己能独立，为社会尽义务。
Ravi: 我爱使用手机，因为它能让我及时传送及接受讯息。。。毕竟很少人懂得用手语沟通。当你在突然之间得知我的状况时，不必露出尴尬的表情。我并没有什么怪异，只是听不见而已。当我尝试与你沟通时，我会注视着你比划；请不要将视线毫不在意地转移，请看着我耐心“聆听”。 无论先天或后天残疾与否，我们都是共同生活在一个环境里的 “社会人”。既然社会与环境是大家同享的，那么所有的 “社会人” 都该拥有参与社会及享受环境的同等机会。在国家建设发展过程中，所有 “社会人” 的需求都应该给予重视。
是否该多录制 “有声书” 让失明，视障，或患有阅读障碍者能有效地学习？ 是否该提供更多的手语通译服务，让聋哑人士能尽情参与社区活动，接触社会，享有资讯？ 是否该更全面地进行 “无障碍环境” 的规划，提供全民友善的环境，让大家都享有均等的通行便利？ 是否该更有效地整理并提供知识讯息予残疾人士及其家属，让他们知道如何索取救助？ 是否该提供更正确，广泛的民众教育，缩短残疾与非残疾人士之间的沟通距离？ 是否政府与民间社服团体该更密切地合作，扩展社会关怀的覆盖率，设立更多供应需求的社服中心与特殊教育学校？
是否我们都该用心聆听这些被淹没了的声音。。。
希望一个进步繁荣的马来西亚，是一个建设全面的马来西亚，也是一个对全民友善包容，提供无障碍环境的马来西亚。

The year is 2005. 48 years had passed since Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra's declaration of independence had thundered throught the crowds in Stadium Merdeka. The 48th year where a land which had been suffering under the occupation of the settlers who only had eyes on our natural resources. Years after years of suppression, finally Malaya has witness our forfathers of all ethnic groups stand together as one to build the very foundation of the Malaysia today.
Ali, Ah Chong and Muthu worked together, combining resources, all for our national interest. No one will ever forget our Father of Independence standing at the podium in the Merdeka Stadium. None will forget the shouts of Merdeka that has been the inspiration to all patriots. The very imperative of what they strive for. Their code of honour and conduct.
Enter year 2005, where racial distinction is gone in Malaysia and more than ever, we Malaysians have no shame in combining and uniting despite our different backgrounds and heritages.
We have been partners and should remain so if Malaysia want to compete on the global stage effectively. Moderation must be defended at all costs and that religious extremists have no place in Malaysia.
But after 48 long years, we are tired of listening to some selfish and shortsighted people of their worn-out blasphemies and religious arguments.
Today we celebrate our National Day, all of us, the old and the young, should remind ourselves that this country is not founded upon violence, not upon bloodshed, ut is of the convenant between all ethnics here to stand together no matter how. It was the moderation that the leaders of UMNO, MCA, and MIC understood, to achieve a common goal: independence.
The dream of Tunku Abdul Rahman, that all races to unite and mix together, working without any hidden resentments nor any backstabbing. Our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammed had implemented his predessor's dreams into his Vision 2020, as a mission to be inherited by his successors.
Today Malaysia is known as a country of "First World facilities but Third World mentality". We have infrastructures that can rival other First World countries. The Petronas Twin Towers, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, KLIA, ... Gleaming skyscrapers standing tall and magnificent in our urban concrete jungle. But on the other hand, we have dirty toilets, cloggeg drains and litter everywhere. Drivers who use the road so inconsiderately, driving and speeding as though they have failed their driving tests. Poor orphans are deprived of basic education, without having enough school materials. Parent toil day and night, making good worth of every drop of their sweat, just to make ends meet. Babies are dumped and abandoned only to be left homeless and starving, growing up to be lost souls.
We celebrate our National Day. We recall the hardwork of our patriots. Our lifestyle, our peace and happiness, bear hallmarks of their sacrifices. We don't have to be recruited into the army to be a patriot. We don't need to be in a war zone to prove our worth; nor we need to bear arms, to shed blood to show our loyalty.
A patriot has his own country's interest at heart. He will only have Malaysia in his soul and no matter what, Malaysia comes first.
By treating the public amenities fairly, we allow others to put good use to them, to benefit of others. By driving carefully we can reduce the loss of innocent lives and restore law and order. By helping the poor, we are giving them the breath of life, and a new lease of future. This is to give them a chance for them to do something for their nation, to make a difference. By making Malaysia a better country, a better place to live in, and a homeland to be proud of; we allow others to be in love with Malaysia. If so, are we not patriots then?
Bit by bit, little by little, regardless of its significance, our efforts will bear fruit, to create the Malaysia as envision in Vision 2020. A Malaysia of Tunku's and Tun Mahathir's dreams fusioned together. A fiction turned into fact.
So it's up to us. It's a path we must choose, to be a parasite or a patriot. Both the words start will the letter "p", but both the words have different significance, for which ever "p" we choose, our decision will make an influencial impact onto our nation. |
