Eric Tay Says Sarawak Deserves Fairer Share in Federal Budget Allocation

Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Councillor Eric Tay Tze Kok has urged the federal government to review the 2026 Federal Budget, stressing that Sarawak deserves a fairer allocation that reflects its geographical, economic, and demographic realities. He noted that while Sabah received RM6.9 billion and Sarawak RM6.0 billion, the RM900 million gap should not be viewed solely based on population size. “Sabah receiving RM900 million more may appear reasonable at first glance, but Sarawak faces a faster ageing population, broader medical service coverage, and much higher operational costs in remoteRead More

许徳婉:砂拉越不需要族群政治

人联党中央妇女组主席许德婉抨击砂行动党一再炒作“华人选区”课题,暴露出他们依旧沉溺在不合时宜的族群政治思维中,完全看不清砂拉越今日的政治格局与砂民真正的诉求。 砂行动党指责砂政府“忽视华裔选区比例”,不仅逻辑荒谬,更暴露出他们急于转移焦点的政治企图。最近,首相安华公开批评旅游部长张庆信在官方活动上饮酒一事,引起全国舆论哗然。面对这起关系到联邦政府形象与砂拉越尊严的事件,行动党重量级领袖皆选择噤声与沉默。如今,砂行动党却急忙抛出“华人议席不足”这一课题,企图以族群情绪转移公众视线。 许德婉认为,这就是砂行动党,当联邦出现涉及砂拉越权益与尊严的事件,他们不敢出声;但一旦关系到可以煽动情绪、博取选票的议题,他们马上“火力全开”。 事实是,砂拉越的政治早已进入“砂优先(Sarawak First)”的阶段。砂拉越所追求的,是联邦归还应有的权利、增加国会议席、强化砂拉越在联邦体制内的话语权。无论是华人、马来人、伊班人或任何族群,大家关心的是砂拉越在联邦的地位是否受到尊重?我们的发展资金是否公平分配?砂拉越的声音是否被听见? 砂行动党却选择回到“族群政治”的老路,继续把砂拉越的政治议题狭隘化、种族化。这种“马来亚式政治文化”不属于砂拉越,也不该被砂民接受。 许德婉要再次强调,砂拉越人不分种族,大家共同面对的发展挑战与经济机遇,才是最重要的课题。华人选区多少,不代表砂拉越声音的强弱;只有增加砂拉越在国会的议席、强化砂拉越的政治代表权,才能真正让砂拉越有力量维护自己的利益。 她也指出人联党一直以来都是一个多元种族的政党,不仅有以华裔为主的选区,也有以土著为多数选民的选区,更有多位土著议员代表人联党在砂议会和国会发声。人联党始终秉持一个信念,为砂拉越所有族群服务,不分种族、不分宗教,共同为砂拉越的未来奋斗。 因此,许德婉反问行动党:为什么要刻意挑起种族课题? 难道政治代表的价值,只能以肤色或族群比例来衡量?在马来亚半岛,难道所有政党的议员与选区都是按照族群人口比例来分配的吗? “这种狭隘的政治思维,只会分裂砂拉越社会,削弱砂拉越争取更大自治与公平代表的整体力量。” 许德婉也借此挑战砂行动党与其在族群政治上挑战砂副总理沈桂贤,不如先挑战自家砂主席兼行动党国会领袖张健仁严厉谴责希盟主席兼首相安华,要求就张庆信在官方活动饮酒一事向全国交代。如果张健仁能在国会动议“石角丢石头”这种地方性课题,他更应该勇敢地在国会动议辩论“官方活动禁酒”事件。 砂拉越不需要族群政治,砂民需要的是行动与担当,希望砂行动党给出一个合理、真诚的回应,不要左右而言它来掩盖责任,让公众看到,一个有担当的政治人物应有的立场和勇气。
