馬六甲的通訊設備是否足夠
您居住的地方手机讯号很弱，上网总是断下断下，该怎么解决？ 简单来说，需要增加/加强通讯设备 a.k.a. 电讯塔。 我在上个月宣布了，从2018年12月起规划，马六甲州政府准备在2019年增建/提升100座电讯塔。100这数字怎么来的？这要说说马六甲州通讯部门的一点点故事。 100座电讯塔这数字并非信手拈来。 通常政府和电讯公司会在几种情况下花钱建电讯塔：当某地区有足够的用户向电讯公司做出投诉或要求、当电讯公司作出商业决定在某地区增加讯号强度/覆盖率、或当政府机构认为加强某地区的覆盖率可造福当地居民（即使需求量不大，不足以让电讯公司花钱建设）。 在人口越来越多，越来越密集，每个人手机网路使用量越来越高的年代，电讯塔的需求也就越来越多。 对马六甲而言，综合需求量，我们每年需要增建/升级大约80-100座电讯塔（升级指的是用光纤为电讯塔输送资料）。 在2015至2017年，马六甲平均每年只起了30座。在2018年的1月至4月，马六甲州只起了6座电讯塔。 当中的因素很多，包括州政府子公司的内部操作，土地局、地方政府、通讯部等各部门批准的复杂性，还有

Building Telco Towers and Concerns over Radiation
Poor mobile coverage at your area? How do we solve it? A simple answer to that is: Increasing/upgrading telecommunication infrastructure a.k.a. telco towers. Last month, I announced that the Melaka government is prepared to build & upgrade 100 telco towers in 2019. I did not just come up with the number 100 by myself. Before I continue, let's talk about the current situation in Melaka and how our telco sector operates. There are a few reasons for telco companies / govt

We should not be afraid to fire civil servants
Don’t get me wrong. It’s never in the Pakatan Harapan government’s wishlist to reduce the number of civil servants. At the very least, we are not dismissing any civil servant for the sake of reducing their numbers. However, 4 months into administration, I have no reservation in opining that the way forward in reforming how our government works is to make governance work. It’s true that Pakatan Harapan has been voted in as the federal government, as well as the state governmen

Economy policies should be need-based, not race-based
It’s quite common to see wealth comparisons being made between races in Malaysia, but none of the comparisons has really been meaningful.
Some perceive Malaysian Chinese as wealthy and the Malays poor. However the fact is that majority of Malaysian Chinese are working class. According to the 2016 data from the Department of Statistics, the proportion of working class amongst Malaysian Chinese and Malays are largely similar (Malaysian Chinese = 70%; Malays =72%). Disparity a

经济政策应以公平角度出发，确保所有阶层人民平衡及共同发展
我国各族群的经济地位经常会被拿来比较。在马来西亚，要说哪个族群比哪个族群富有，其实是具争议性的。 马来西亚华裔，其实大部分都还属于劳动阶级。根据2016年的数据，如果我们把马来西亚华裔劳动阶级的比例和巫裔相比，不难发现其实比例是属接近的（华裔70%，巫裔72%)。而贫富悬殊问题，确确实实地发生在每个族群身上。 因此，要说华人比较富有，而马来人比较贫穷，是一概而论及不准确的说法。 希望联盟在全国第14届大选获得胜利，造就了马来西亚史上第一次的两线制，当中经济课题可谓是最大因素之一。国家经济下滑、购买能力下跌、入不敷出的窘境是全民面对的问题。 因此，在经济政策上，我们不能单纯地以种族来做出区隔和比较，而加以实施。反之，我们应该更深入地去了解社会各阶层所面对的经济挑战，并以确保各阶层能够获得更好的平台为出发点，确保平衡及共同发展。 这样，我们才可以保证那些真正需要政府帮助的群体，可以不因肤色所限制，从政府的政策受益。 我们迎来了新的马来西亚，就应该跨越种族地看待问题和对策。经济政策需不分种族地帮助真正有需要的社会群体。马来西亚要成为经济强国，全国人民的

509后入党潮
509选举，我们见证了马来西亚第一次的中央政权轮替。在509选举之前的十年，很多人对于“换政府”一词可能不感到陌生，但却有不少人始终对两线制抱持着半信半疑的心态。509后，当希望联盟当上了中央及多个州政府，开创了马来西亚史上第一次两线制，我们发现全国突然来了个 “入党潮”。 普遍意义上来说，如果一个政党有更多主动加入的党员，象征着该党在社会认可及影响力上获得更大的肯定。一个政党如果连号召社会人士或民众加入的能力都没有，其理念的全面性和关联性是值得加倍努力耕耘的。 但是就马来西亚的情况来说，目睹这样的一个“入党潮”，有几个点是值得我们深入思考的： 马来西亚人民经历了61年不敢加入反对党的恐惧 在国阵执政的年代，我们走到很多地方，尤其是半城乡区，我们不难看到一些住户在家里或店铺挂上国阵的旗帜或有国阵标志的产品。反之，会挂上反对党如行动党标志产品的，则是少之又少。原因很简单，对很多生意人来说，他们认为只要至少在形式上显示他们是亲政府的，他们自然也不会受到政府刁难；而亲反对党的，恐怕就会被对付。甚至，有些小本生意人还拒绝接反对党的生意，哪怕和反对党扯上了

一个新的开始
2018年5月9日，数百万的马来西亚人民掉下了欣慰的眼泪。相信很多人和我一样，目睹马来西亚史上第一次的中央政权政党轮替时，一来总是觉得不可置信的。 不知什么时候开始，有许多人可能多少有着放弃马来西亚的念头。低就业机会、低薪金、高犯罪率、贪污腐败横行、人民福利被政治利益典当等问题，导致许多马来西亚人民不再对马来西亚有期待，也失去了想象马来西亚可以更美好的勇气。 我属于505年代的产物。505教会了我们，只要坚持到底，永不言败，任何目标都可以达到。身为希望联盟在第14届大选委派上阵的最年轻的候选人之一，我在我很多演讲中都会提及“想象的勇气”。我相信，要达到任何目标，做出任何可以带来改变的行动，我们先要有敢于想象的勇气。每一位带领着我们前进的领袖，一直都坚持着自己的理念，一直都持有着改变的勇气，千千万万的马来西亚人民才会投身于改变国家的行列，坚持想象更美好的马来西亚。 几乎所有问题都会有解决方法。就马来西亚政治而言，许多问题的解决方法的最主要元素是政治意愿。 政府先要有承认问题存在的意愿，然后有探讨问题的意愿，接下来要有解决问题的意愿，我们面对的问题才

A New Beginning
Millions of Malaysians burst into tears in the late night of 9 May 2018. Many, including myself, couldn’t believe our eyes when we learned of the news: We are changing the federal government of Malaysia for the first time in history. There have been too many occasions in the past where I heard people were on the brink of giving up on Malaysia. When jobs were scarce, wages were suppressed, crime rates were high, corruption was condoned, and hatred was fanned, the government wa

我是郭子毅，是爱极乐区的新兵候选人
大家好，我是郭子毅，是此次大选马六甲爱极乐（Ayer Keroh) 区的候选人。 我的参选让很多人感到惊讶，因为与我年龄相近并对政治感兴趣的人不多，而会投身政治的更是少之又少。但我觉得，为国家贡献是每一个人的责任。身为土生土长的马六甲人，这里就是我的家园。许多领袖日夜都在为国家奋斗，作为年轻人的我们怎么可以坐视不理，为什么不能为自己的家园出一份力？ 我是于2017年6月全职加入行动党的。当时很多人都认为全国大选会在该年7月举行，所以我便问父亲我是否可以在工作时间后到行动党当志工帮忙，但他並不赞同。我的父亲郭金福生前是民主行动 前任秘书长，花了大半人生， 牺牲了健康、个人甚至家庭时间为国家及人民打拼。他知道，在马来西亚的民主制度下，加入反对党要做出很多牺牲，所以他花了很长一段时间才同意让我加入。我随后也成为了民主行动党国会领袖的政治秘书。 能获得党和希望联盟的肯定，被委派上阵马六甲Ayer Keroh州议席，我感到非常光荣。Ayer Keroh从来都不是反对党的安全区，是在2008年才第一次被行动党拿下。在2018年3月的选区划分运动，Ayer K

Hi, I'm Kerk Chee Yee, candidate for DUN Ayer Keroh
Hi, I’m Kerk Chee Yee, and I’m contesting for DUN Ayer Keroh, Melaka in this election. Many looked at me with disbelief when they learnt that someone my age (born in the 90s) is contesting. In the past, we did not have a lot of young people who were interested in politics, let alone getting involved directly by joining political parties and standing for elections. But contributing to our home is everyone’s responsibility. I consider Melaka my home as I was born and raised her

I am pleased to share with all of you that the Pakatan Harapan leadership has announced me as the DUN candidate for Ayer Keroh, Melaka (N-16).

The Ayer Keroh state seat was never a safe seat for DAP - it was first won by DAP in 2008 and successfully defended in 2013.

Prove your legitimacy as a political party that claims to represent the Chinese, MCA
It’s MCA’s common plea to the Chinese community that only if MCA is voted into the Parliament, there will be someone in the government who can represent and help the community. I believe that it is MCA’s strategy to forge demand for the party from the people by providing such narrative, and that MCA must have been believing that this could work well and work forever. Never did they foresee that this could backfire on them like it does now. Recognition of UEC, funds allocation

大马年轻人需要的是一个转机
敦马哈迪医生对于大马年轻人大学毕业后成为优步司机和椰浆饭小贩的言论中肯地反映出了我们国家经济的状况。 我们不应把该言论误解为职业歧视。反之，这道出了现在的大学毕业生面对着寻找与技能和学历相符的工作的困难，促使他们被逼接受相对比本身技能较低的工作。在僧多粥少的情况下，我们不难发现有许多求职不利的大学毕业生去当优步司机或卖椰浆饭，无法充分发挥他们学术上所学的知识和潜能。 大马的失业率是3.4%，而当中年轻人的失业率是其数字的3倍。每10位年轻人当中就有1人失业，而这并不包括那些已经转行成为司机或小贩，还有为谋三餐离乡背井的年轻人。 另一个大马年轻人的重大课题是偏低薪资。根据统计，我国18到35岁群体的人有一半每月赚少过RM1,600，而此群体的平均薪资也只是区区RM2,000。这解释了为何我们在放工时间后会看见这么多年轻的优步和 GrabCar 司机赚取额外收入。有些年轻人甚至被迫做2到3份工，一天工作超过16个小时只为了维持生计。 国阵一直忽略的一点是，失业率、技能与职业不相符、偏低薪资都和政府政治意念有关联。国阵部长曾经给予温馨提议，鼓励多吃住家

What the "Nasi Lemak graduates" need is a turning point
What Tun Dr Mahathir said about graduates in Malaysia becoming Uber drivers and Nasi Lemak sellers tells us something about the economy state we are in right now. It is of course not to be misunderstood that Uber drivers or nasi lemak sellers are jobs that no graduates should take up. But we are talking about a situation where graduates in Malaysia face difficulty in getting jobs that match their level of skills or academic level, hence are forced to take up jobs that require

我国面对的问题，不是靠投废票、不投票、或投第三势力可以解决的
【此文告是针对The Malaysian Insight 一篇标题为 ”Youth can be a political force without relying on parties, claims movement” 的新闻而写 】https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/s/28019/ 今时今日的马来西亚政治出现一种很有趣的现象：有一群主张投废票、不投票、或把票投给所谓的“第三势力”的人，而这群主张者主要都是年轻人。 最常听见的理由主要有几个，当中包括“希望联盟没什么政纲，纯粹是为了权力而倒政府”、“马哈迪才是今天国家很多问题的根源”、和“即使不用透过政治管道，我们也可以对马来西亚做出重大改变”. 在选举中，选民在投票时基本上会有几个考量，当中包括1）候选人的素质；2）候选人和其政党所提出的政纲；和3）该席位对该政党的整体影响。若以马来西亚来届大选的角度出发，考量（3）指的是换政府和实现两线制的可能性。 不管在朝在野，政治人物都会告诉你要点（3）是一大关键，但很多选民也会把要点（1）和（2）作为重要的考量点

Joint article : “What Say Youth” Townhall – The Untold Stories of the Few
Much has been said about the “What Say Youth”Townhall that took place on the 21st of November which featured two political heavyweights – Tun Dr Mahathir and Mr Lim Kit Siang. Most, if not all that has been said showed that many are sceptical to Pakatan Harapan’s formation or, more precisely, its leaders. Were those stories that appeared on media representative of what happened at the Youth Townhall? To a certain extent, admittedly so. But allow us to tell you the stories of
