Forum" Mother Tongue Education in Malaysia"

《茅草行动 - 谈马来西亚母语教育》
'Operasi Lalang - Mother Tongue Education'

1987年10月27日却是马来西亚这所谓的“民主国家”一大讽刺的一天。在那一天马来西亚政府用内安法令打压人民运动，被捉的人包括了年逾七旬、关心维护母语教育体系的校长、通过选举成为国会立法机关的反对党领袖、热心的基督教执行人员、维护妇女权益的社会工作者等。这些人全被扣上威胁国家安全的罪名。

今年的在这个《茅草行动》纪念日凤凰友好联谊会和人民之声将母语教育定为今年的主题。希望在这一天可以整理过去的历史和谈论今天的华教更重要的是希望可以让出席的人更加认识《茅草行动》。

27th October 1987 was a black day for Malaysia. On this day, despite claims
that we are a democratic nation, Operation Lallang was launched, using the
draconian ISA to detain 107 Malaysian citizens and incarcerate them without
trial. Malaysians from all walks of lfie were detained - opposition
politicians, social activists, people of all religions, women involved in
anti-rape campiagns, theatre people, people who care about the
environmental - all thrown into solitary confinement because they were
deemed a 'threat to national security'. Many were subject to mental and/or
physical torture.

There were many factors leading up to Operation Lallang. Mahathir of course
faced a number of crisies within his party, UMNO. At the same time, there
was considerable discussion about the rights to mother-tongue education.
Chinese educationalists were of course amongst those detained. So in marking
20 years of Operation Lallang, we are proud to present this Forum, which
will focus on chinese education and its relation to Operation Lallang. Come
and learn about the history of the struggle for mother-tongue education, the
background to October 1987, and how the struggle continues till today.
