Perspektif Perlembagaan<br />

Selepas Tsunami 2008<br />

Abdul Aziz Bari<br />

Buku ini adalah himpunan sebahagian<br />

daripada kolum-kolum yang diterbitkan<br />

dalam akhbar Sinar Harian antara tahun<br />

2008-2010. Ia menyinggung pelbagai isu<br />

yang ada kaitan dengan perlembagaan.<br />

Apa yang istimewa dan unik mengenai<br />

buku ini ialah pendekatan yang<br />

diambil. Ditulis dengan mengambilkira<br />

kepentingan isu-isu berkenaan di sisi<br />

perlembagaan, penulis menangani isu-isu itu dengan<br />

cara yang santai dan mudah difahami oleh pembaca<br />

umum. Pendekatan sedemikian sesuai dengan cita-cita<br />

merakyatkan perlembagaan. Ini meletakkan buku ini<br />

sebagai rujukan penting buat mereka yang mahukan<br />

negara ini ditadbir-urus menurut peruntukan perlembagaan<br />

dan semangatnya. Buku ini juga sesuai buat mereka yang<br />

ingin mengetahui intipati perlembagaan.<br />

Malaysian Chinese<br />

An Inclusive Society<br />

Edited by Centre for Malaysian Chinese Studies<br />

The papers in this publication are studies<br />

on the Chinese community in Malaysia in<br />

relation to development in Southeast Asia.<br />

The formation of Chinese communities<br />

in the region was established by waves<br />

of migration into the region over periods<br />

of time. However, given the proximity to<br />

China, there has been and there will<br />

always be the reminder of an exogenous influence, the<br />

China factor, on the Chinese communities in the region. In<br />

fact the Xinhua News Agency from the People’s Republic<br />

of China reported recently, with pride, that there are now<br />

an estimated forty five million Overseas Chinese all over<br />

the world. Studies as presented by the authors indicate the<br />

diversity of the Chinese community in Malaysia. Often the<br />

community is mistakenly perceived as a monolithic entity.<br />

The truth could not be more different. The community<br />

comprise minority groups such as Chinese Muslims,<br />

Chinese Christians and Peranakans, besides the common<br />

perception of only Buddhists and Taoists. All are Malaysian<br />

Chinese but different in their faiths and worldviews.<br />

Buku ini… sedikit sebanyak dapat<br />

menjelaskan apa yang benar dan<br />

apa yang fitnah. Malah, buku ini<br />

juga dapat mendekatkan pembaca<br />

dengan sejarah perjuangan DAP<br />

yang selama ini telah dipesongkan<br />

oleh kumpulan-kumpulan yang<br />

benci kepada demokrasi, keadilan<br />

dan kebebasan. Ini juga penting<br />

kerana terlalu sedikit bahan bacaan<br />

berkenaan DAP yang ditulis<br />

secara objektif dan adil dalam Bahasa Melayu yang<br />

berada di pasaran. Namun, saya ingin mengingatkan<br />

pembaca bahawa walaupun buku ini bersifat objektif, ia<br />

turut memuatkan pemerhatian, pandangan dan pendapat<br />

penulisnya yang tidak semestinya mencerminkan pendirian<br />

rasmi DAP. Apa pun, ini menjadi bukti bahawa DAP<br />

memang selama ini bersikap terbuka dalam menerima<br />

pelbagai pandangan, termasuk kritikan yang membina.<br />

Someone Had To Say It...<br />

Tunku Abdul Aziz<br />

These articles cover a wide range<br />

of topics; social, economic, political<br />

and ethical issues that I felt to be in<br />

need of ventilating in a responsible,<br />

open and direct manner. The<br />

overwhelming majority of our<br />

people, of all age groups, having<br />

lived under an authoritarian, albeit<br />

benign, regime for close to three<br />

decades, unfortunately, do not even<br />

realise the extent to which their<br />

constitutional rights have been eroded. It was, I thought,<br />

about time they confronted these issues and reclaimed<br />

their rights as Malaysians, rights that have been<br />

systematically denied them – Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim,<br />
