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 />
