SISTEM DUA PARTI DI MALAYSIA
SUATU ANALISA KRITIKAL

Forum Sosialisma adalah satu acara tahaunan anjuran Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) yang diadakan sejak tahun 2005. Namun setiap tiga tahun sekali. PSM juga menganjurkan Sosialisma Peringkat Antarabangsa.

Pada tahun ini, Sosialisme 2009 adalah peringkat nasional tetapi jemputan juga dibuka kepada penyertaan peserta-peserta dari Parti kiri di Asia Tenggara. Pada tahun ini, penyertaan peserta Asia Tenggara dari Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipina, Singapura akan turut bersama untuk memantapkan debat dan perbincangan.

Topik Sosialisme 2009 yang dipilih adalah Sistem Dua Parti – suatu analisa Kritikal. Sejak Tsunami Pilihanraya Mac 8, 2008. Politik Malaysia buat pertama kalinya memberi satu harapan bahawa Barisan pembangkang – Pakatan Rakyat mempunyai harapan untuk memerintah negara buat kali pertama. Harapan ini mencetuskan debat bahawa Malaysia semakin matang untuk pergi ke sistem politik dua parti.

Namun beberapa persoalan terus wujud dari segi keberkesanan sistem dua parti dan pengalamana di negara lain, persoalan samada penukaran parti membawa kepada penukaran sistem pemerintahan dan ketiga samada ada, teori politik berperingkat (stages) merupakan satu pengalaman yang wajib dilalui sebelum perjuangan sebenar dilaksanakan .

TWO PARTY SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA
A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Socialism is an annual conference organized by the Parti Sosialis Malaysia(PSM) and has been held since the year 2005. This national conference goes international every three years once.

This year, Socialism 2009 will be a national conference but with the attendance of participants from left organizations from the South East Asian region. The presence this year of participants from Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines and Singapore at the conference will further add to the debate and discussion.

The topic chosen for Socialism 2009 is the Two-party System – A Critical Analysis. The Election Tsunami of March 8, 2008, has given rise to the possibility of the opposition front, the Pakatan Rakyat, ruling the country for the very first time. This prospect has sparked off debate that Malaysia is ready to move on to the two-party political system.

Still, many questions persist regarding the efficacy of the two-party system and the experience of other countries, whether a change of ruling party leads to a change in the system, and thirdly whether as per the political theory of stages, it is necessary to pass through this stage before launching the actual struggle.

Humane and Ethical Treatment for Sri Lankan Asylum Seekers

The PSM is concerned for the safety and well-being of the 207 Sri Lankan asylum-seekers who are being held at the Immigration Detention Centre at the KL International Airport as well as the 108 Sri Lankan refugees detained at Pekan Nanas Immigration Detention Centre

According to our sources, there are 15 women and 6 children among these 207 Sri Lankans who were picked up at a road-block in Batu Pahat 10 days ago before being transported to the KLIA for detention. Out of the 108 people detained at Pekan Nenas Immigration Detention Centre, there are 10 women and 10 children. One of the women is in her 8th month of pregnancy. It was also reported that the Sri Lankan Embassy, including the Deputy High Commissioner were forcing a group of Sri Lankan refugees to sign agreements for repatriation. The refugees refused to sign the agreements and the embassy personnel assaulted them by beating and kicking them to force them to sign the agreement.

Categories: Press Statements and Southeast Asia

For the English translation, please skip to the end of this article.

Kenyataan akhbar ini dikeluarkan dalam Bahasa Indonesia:

Pernyataan Sikap Bersama
Konfederasi Kongres Aliansi Serikat Buruh Indonesia (KASBI), Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) dan Perhimpunan Rakyat Pekerja (PRP)

Bangun Persatuan Kelas Pekerja Asia Tenggara!

Kaum buruh tidak mempunyai tanah air. Kita tidak dapat mengambil dari mereka apa yang tidak ada pada mereka.
(Karl Marx, 1848)

Pendahuluan

Beberapa waktu yang lalu kembali berkumandang sentiment-sentimen anti Malaysia setelah munculnya kasus dugaan klaim Malaysia terhadap tarian pendet. Kedua belah pihak, Pemerintah Indonesia dan Malaysia pun saling mengomentari persoalan itu. Disisi lain muncul aksi-aksi di Indonesia yang mengusung isu anti Malaysia. Kejadian tersebut bukanlah kali pertama terjadi. Sebelumnya sentiment-sentimen Chauvinis tersebut telah muncul beberapa kali akibat kasus-kasus seperti perebutan daerah seperti Pulau Sipadan Ligitan, Blok Ambalat, Pulau Jemur; klaim budaya seperti Tarian Reog dan juga Lagu Rasa Sayang-sayange.
