【大纪元8月12日讯】大纪元记者李思婷香港报导／香港大纪元职员和义工12日下午，由港岛湾仔税务大楼前的空地，游行至马来西亚驻港总领馆请愿，抗议马国政府在中共的压力下，数度扣押并禁止《大纪元报纸》在马国发行，严重侵害言论和新闻自由。
香港多个民间团体包括中华盟会、全球营救王炳章大联盟和南方民主同盟的代表伍国雄、柳玉成和龙纬汶等人，亦有参加请愿活动和发言，并带领在场人士高喊口号，抗议中共打压大纪元。
下为香港大纪元《致马来西亚政府的公开信》全文：
致马来西亚政府的公开信
致马来西亚政府
首相ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI先生
财政部部长
国防部部长
本报系香港大纪元时报，大纪元时报是在全球超过30个国家发行8种语文的报纸。中文版大纪元独立报导，不受包括北京在内的任何政权干预，带给华人无法抗拒的影响力。也因为如此，大纪元自2000年建报以来，冲破了来自中共各式各样的压力和阻力，受到各个国家地区的人民欢迎，得以在自由的国度传播。
但是让我们感到惊讶的是自今年6月2日起，在中共施加的压力下，贵国政府数度扣押并禁止大纪元报纸在马来西亚发行。不仅侵犯了大纪元的正当权益，涉及到成千上万的华人知情权，亦是对言论和新闻自由的严重侵害。迄今为止，贵国是第一个屈服于中共的压力而禁止大纪元传播的民主国家。
贵国政府和人民应该不会忘记，正是因为得到中共的支持，马共进行了长时间的暴力革命，加剧了贵国社会的族群冲突，制造了众多骚乱和血腥事件。对马来西亚进行赤化和叛乱宣传的马来西亚共产党秘密电台当年就设在中国湖南。
2005年，贵国首相ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI曾指出，在马共失去影响力后，大马人民才享有和平与稳定。马来西亚共产党的前总书记陈平即使对马共游击队所开展的杀戮行为表示忏悔，但贵国仍拒绝他入境；贵国副总理说，陈平回归将会带来太多痛苦的回忆。
令人费解的是，言犹在耳，贵国政府似乎忘掉了昨日的惨痛教训。2005年1月10日，马来西亚政府给中共喉舌《人民日报》颁发出版准证，数月后，却对揭露中共本质，宣导人权自由价值的大纪元报纸进行扣押。这是一个历史性的错误。
贵国政府声称大纪元不中立，报导方向与贵国维持“马中友好关系”的立场和政策不符。这反映了贵国政府对大纪元的不了解和对中共本质上看法的严重错误。大纪元时报一直本着敢言作风，对中共专制暴力的本质和作法进行揭露，为的正是人们远离共产邪恶，获得自由，为各国社会的安定和谐与友好往来奠定基础。因为任何真正健康的友好关系，绝不可能建立在暴力和谎言欺骗之上。
正如大纪元社论《九评共产党》所指出，共产党在任何时候都没有改变它的暴力特性，共产党所到之处，都伴随着谎言、冲突、暴力和颠覆。大纪元“九评”发表之后，已经有350多万华人退出中共，中共已经走到了历史的尽头。对揭露中共邪恶本质的媒体进行打击，就等于站在了中共相同的立场，接受中共的渗透和摆布，这是一个极其危险的举动。一旦中共邪恶势力立足，马国安稳之日将不复存在。站在中共一边，就等于站在历史错误的一边，这不应该是贵国政府和人民的选择。
中共八十年的暴政历史，不仅给中国人民带来的沉重的灾难，也给世界人民带来灾难。亚洲周边国家的共产党组织所从事的暴力杀戮，都以中共为靠山。到目前为止，中共丝毫没有放弃暴力斗争的哲学，最近军队少将朱成虎的核战言论和前国防部长迟浩田关于未来战争的内部讲话就是明证。中共更没有放松对民主国家的种种渗透，在马来西亚几家主流华文报章走亲共路线、中文报业市场已经近乎饱和的时候不遗余力把《人民日报》开进马国就是一个例子。
对于这样一个危害人类的组织的揭露，无论如何也不能称为“不中立”，因为中共的危害是历史事实、是客观真相。事实上，贵国政府对中共的危害感同身受。马来西亚反对中共的言论很多，由于中共和马共当年的灾难，贵国政府亦曾禁止亲共的书籍和刊物，并在1960年制定了一条特殊的法律，对共产党员不经审判就可以逮捕。
马中关系并不是马国与中共之间的关系。中共只是个窃国大盗、独裁流氓，它不等于中国。大陆迅猛的退党浪潮表明它正在被中国人民抛弃。马中的关系，必须以普适价值为基础，而绝不能屈从于中共的政治经济压力和谎言之下。中共把黑手伸出马来西亚，正是它末日途穷的表现，正应该引起贵国政府的警惕。
据了解，扣押大纪元报纸的决定是由贵国安全部的华人副部长谢宽泰做出的。这似乎显示中共海外渗透的典型做法。很多华商在中国投资，有生意、商业上的利益，中共正试图利用这一点把黑手伸向海外华人以达成自己肮脏的政治目的。
我们呼吁贵国政府认清中共的谎言，及其对包括中国及马国在内的全人类的危害，保护言论及新闻自由，早日纠正扣押大纪元的错误做法，保持贵国的主权尊严；切莫沦为中共的爪牙，助纣为虐，为贵国及人民带来灾难。
我们期待贵国政府的正义决定。

英文公开信内容：
August 12, 2005
c/o Malaysia Consulate General of Hong Kong
His Excellency Y.A.B. DATO’ SERI ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI
Prime Minister, Minister of Finance & Minister of Internal Security
Pejabat Perdana Menteri,
Bangunan Perdana Putra,
Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan,
62502 PUTRAJAYA.
His Excellency Y.A.B. DATO’ SERI ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI:
We’d like to bring to your attention a recent halt order by the Minister of Internal Security (MOIS) on the distribution of The Epoch Times in Malaysia. We deeply regret and strongly oppose to the action taken by your government. We ask that the MOIS revoke the order.
The Epoch Times is an independent printing press, providing fair reporting, wide coverage, and insightful analyses on China affairs. The Paper was created merely a few years ago targeting overseas Chinese communities. The Paper has since rapidly grown to be a global entity with worldwide distribution in more than 30 countries in 8 different languages.
Printed copies of the Paper are imported into Malaysia each week for distribution to approximately 8500 readers. The Paper serves as an important voice in the society. It is not just an information provider, more significantly, it is a symbol of press freedom and the rule of law. The Epoch Times is not afraid of issuing truthful reports and coverage which may not seem popular to some.
We extensively cover human rights situations, democratic movements, and dissident groups such as underground churches and Falun Gong spiritual practice. As you may be well aware, many media won’t be willing to cover these stories.
We are disappointed by your government’s action to halt the distribution under the pressure from China, in fear that the newspaper “may result in a negative impression on the ruling government of China.” Through the action, the Malaysia Interior Ministry has willingly become an accomplice in the CCP’s harassment of and interference with the Epoch Times.
Malaysian Government and Malaysians should not forget, it was because of the support from CCP that enabled the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) to conduct lasting revolution that relied on violence, which intensified the cultural conflict within the Malaysian society, resulted in numerous chaotic and bloody incidences. The radio which was responsible for the rebellic propaganda that sovietised Malaysia was based in Hunan Province of China.
The ex-secretary-general of the outlawed (CPM) Chin Peng now regretted the killings, still, he was refused by the Malaysian Government to return to Malaysia recently. Deputy Internal Security Minister Noh Omar stressed the government barred Chin Peng from returning in 2003 on grounds he was still linked to a banned organisation with a “history of perpetrating terrorism” in the country.
Also, we have two reasons to show you that there is no need to fear the ruling party of China —the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). First, communism is dying out worldwide. This is a simple fact. CCP knows its fate, and has become extremely insecure. The Chinese economy has become their tool to solicit support from other nations.
The publication of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” by the Epoch Times last year has resulted in over 350 millions party members’ withdrawal from the CCP . Sided with the CCP is standing on the wrong side of history, this should no be the choice of the Malaysian government and Malaysian.
Second, as the Epoch Times is printed and circulated in Hong Kong where civil liberty and the rule of law have prevailed despite many hiccups from time to time. Respect for human rights and rule of law is exactly what makes foreign investors pour their investments into Hong Kong.
The halt order on the distribution of the Epoch Times in Malaysia has infringed the right of Epoch Times as a media, which involves the right to information of thousands and millions of Chinese and Malaysian. Malaysia is the only democratic country that violates freedom of speech and press freedom in such a manner.
We strongly believe that the continued, uncensored distribution of our Paper world wide including Malaysia is vital in sustaining basic human rights and preserving the core moral values shared by the world, and would help your government demonstrate that your commitment to press freedom as well as people’s right to information.
Please withdraw the halt order.
Yours truly,
The Epoch Times, Hong Kong
