Ancaman serangan seksual: Masyarakat sivil bersolidariti dengan Noor Farida, G25

G25

Follow us on our Malay and English WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube channels.

Kami, pertubuhan-pertubuhan masyarakat sivil yang berikut, mengecam usaha-usaha pihak tertentu untuk mengancam dan mendiamkan kumpulan tokoh Melayu yang dikenali sebagai G25. (English version below)

Yang lebih meluat dan menjijikkan adalah ancaman serangan seksual yang dibuat terhadap jurucakap kumpulan berkenaan, Noor Farida oleh seorang pengguna Facebook bernama Sharul Nizam Ab Rahim berikutan kenyataan beliau berkenaan isu undang-undang khalwat semasa sidang akhbar G25 pada 6 Disember 2015. Pengguna Facebook berkenaan kemudiannya menjelaskan, bahawa ia adalah sindiran sahaja dan ia adalah hak asasinya untuk berbuat demikian.

Semenjak penubuhannya, G25 telah memberikan maklum balas yang penting kepada kerajaan dan orang awam berkenaan isu-isu tadbir urus yang penting kepada pengekalan cara hidup demokratik kita melalui kenyataan akhbar, penglibatan di forum-forum awam, dan cara-cara lain.

Fokus mereka terhadap peranan agama dalam masyarakat moden adalah sebahagian dari misi mereka iaitu untuk menjadikan Malaysia sebuah contoh kepada dunia sebagai sebuah negara demokratik Islamik pelbagai budaya yang sederhana, harmoni, dan progresif serta menjadi tauladan dari segi toleransi. Kami bersolidariti sepenuhnya dengan misi G25.

Bukan sahaja kami yang datang dari pelbagai bahagian di Malaysia dan mewakili pelbagai sektor dalam masyarakat sivil, malah kami percaya masyarakat Malaysia secara umumnya menghargai dan menghormati suara yang munasabah dan rasional dalam isu-isu nasional seperti G25 dan banyak lagi.

Kami menyeru untuk pihak untuk mengadakan perbincangan secara rasional, munasabah, dan beradab dan nyatakan pendapat secara sopan. Ini lebih memanfaatkan negara berbanding dengan seruan untuk G25 diharamkan atau mengancam untuk bertindak secara ganas terhadap mereka.

Kami juga menyeru pihak berkuasa dan pemimpin pakatan pemerintah untuk bersuara dan mengecam ugutan yang dibuat terhadap G25. Adalah penting untuk mereka melindungi kebebasan bersuara dan semua organisasi masyarakat sivil tanpa pilih kasih.

English version:

We, the following civil society organisations, condemn the efforts made to coerce and silence the group of prominent Malays known collectively as G25
.

Especially disgusting and obnoxious is the threat of sexual assault made against the group spokesperson, Datuk Noor Farida Ariffin by a Facebook user named Sharul Nizam Ab Rahim following her statement on the issue of khalwat laws during the G25 press conference on 6 December 2015. He has since claimed unconvincingly that it was meant as sarcasm, and that it was his human right to do so.

Since its establishment, G25 has through its press releases, participation in public forums and in other ways provided important feedback to the government and public on a wide range of governance issues that are critical and crucial to the preservation of our democratic way of life.

Its focus on the role of religion in a modern society is an integral part of its mission which is to work towards making Malaysia a model for the world as a moderate, harmonious and progressive Islamic multicultural democracy and beacon of tolerance. We are in complete solidarity with G25’s mission.

Not only are we coming from different parts of Malaysia and representing many sectors of civil society but we believe the larger Malaysian public values and respects voices of reason and rationality on national issues such as G25 and others.

We call on everyone to engage in a civil, temperate and rational dialogue and to put forth your views politely and civilly. That will serve our nation better than calls for a ban on G25 or threats of violence against its members.

We also call on the authorities and leaders of the ruling coalition parties to speak out and act against threats to G25. It is important that they protect the freedom of expression of all civil society organizations, and not just those that work in their political interests.
