【大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网8月11日讯】（大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网记者宋惠编译报导）大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网是一个敢于说真话的非营利新闻媒体。尤其推出《九评共产党》揭示有关中共欺骗和屠杀中国人民﹑同时给世界带来巨大灾难的历史事实后，更引发世人退出中共的浪潮。 中共则利用各种手段不断施压禁止大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网的发行，今年6月2日以来，马来西亚当局即在中共的压力下，数度扣押大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网时报在马来西亚的发行。

WAPC (世界新闻暨媒体议会协会）秘书长Gunasingam先生在获知此讯息后，发出公开信给世界各非政府组织和马来西亚所有的媒体，呼吁重视中共恐怖主义对马国的危害，并呼吁各界支持大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网这样一个独立媒体在全球的发行。

以下是公开信中文译文：

_{倡议讯息自由传递政策}

当世界尚有许多国家正在遭受着灾难和伤害的时刻，我祈求您对讯息自由传递政策的支持以便维持马来西亚多种族和多文化的和平共处与和谐。

听闻大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网时报在马来西亚遭到扣押，无法继续传播交换多样意见。 大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网也是一个阻止中国政府任何双边压迫的非营利出版媒体。

我在此呼吁您对此事的关注并考虑：

1）支持大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网在全球的发行。 包括香港及其他太平洋沿岸的亚洲国家如新加坡，韩国， 日本，台湾，苏俄，印尼，菲律宾， 纽西兰和澳大利亚。

2）以下文章转自2005年5月6日太阳报（The Sun)有关副新闻部长Datuk Zainuddin Maidin的报导：

传阅

主题：一些刊物粉饰中共的邪恶

吉隆坡：我们国家有一些居民试图粉饰共产党的恐怖主义， 这是极大的错误。 副新闻部长Datuk Zainuddin Maidin昨天说：“其中一个方式就是藉由出版书籍推崇前共党恐怖份子所声称的英雄。” 副新闻部长在他的办公室接见了七位马来西亚前陆军联盟的来访后表示，陆军联盟正在和国防部合作为Warta RTM (译者注：马来西亚国营电视广播电台）制作一个了解共产党血腥恐怖的特别节目。 这个节目将从8月1日起每天播放，为期一个月。 Zainuddin说这个单元主要提醒年轻世代崇拜共产主义对国家的危害。

这个看法证实了我们需要一个可以交换多样意见并且是非营利的出版媒体，如大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网时报。

我想藉这个机会敦促马来西亚政府根据国际人权宣言的的第19条款放宽马来西亚媒体，允许马来西亚媒体成立马来西亚媒体议会。前任总理Tun Abdul Razak在1970年代早期曾讨论过设立新闻议会的构想。 事实上，当时政府曾提供一块地供盖一栋独立的马来西亚媒体中心，将马来西亚所有的媒体集中一起，可惜没有继续推动。

我知道部分媒体可能误解这样一个议会将剥夺新闻自由。 我希望提议中的马来西亚媒体议会能经由立法通过。 依法订定的独立个体将更有效率并得到认可。 任何低于这个标准将容易因为无政府组织而很难发挥效果。 我可以提供马来西亚政府和马来西亚媒体来自不同国家有关新闻媒体议会的材料供咨询。

希望能鼓励您让像大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网时报这样的媒体在马来西亚发行以发展一个能容许辩论，对话、批评的文化，在相互了解中避免未来的悲剧和伤害。

“推动世界和平，全球共识及全球合作”

您真挚地

2005年8月10日

Re: Consideration For a Free Flow Of Information Policy.

I bring Global Peace Greetings , Meilleurs vœux , Feliz Ano Nuevo from the World Press – Media Councils / World Media Community and UN – UNESCO NGOS in the hours of tragedy and suffering many countries in the world is experiencing and I seek your understanding for a Free Flow Of Information Policy with a need to maintain Peace & Harmony among the various races and cultures in Malaysia.

It is noted that The Epoch Times was withheld and unable to proceed with their circulation of this alternate , diversity opinion and a non-profit publication to prevent any bi-lateral constrain with the Government of China.

I bring to your attention and for your consideration : i) The Global Distribution & Circulation of The Epoch Times . This includes Hong Kong which is part of China and many countries in The ASIAN-PACIFIC Region including Singapore Korea,Japan,Taiwan,Russia,Indonesia,Philippine,New Zealand and Australia.

ii) The following article by Deputy information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin THE SUN Friday, May, 6, 2005 :

“ Some out to make CTs look good”

KUALA LUMPUR: Some quarters in the country are wrongly trying to make the communist terrorists look good. Deputy information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said yesterday. “ One of the ways is by publishing books to revere former CTs as so-called heroes,”

He said after receiving a visit by seven members of the Malaysia Ex-Army Association at his office here. The Association is working with the ministry to produce a special segment of the brutality of the CTs for Warta RTM. It will be aired daily for a month from Aug.1 Zainuddin said the segment was to instill awareness among the younger generation on danger of the communist ideology to the country.

This confirms that there is a need for an alternate,diversity opinion and a non-profit publication like The Epoch Times.

I take this opportunity to urge The Government of Malaysia to relax media regulations as per Article 19 to enable The Malaysian Media Community to establish The Malaysian Media Council. The late Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak mooted the idea of setting up a Press Council in Malaysia in the early 1970s. In fact during this period the Government offered a piece of land to build An Independent Malaysian Media Centre to bring all Malaysian Media groups under one roof , but there was no follow-up.

I note a section of the media community had skewed views that such a council would curtail press freedom. I hope the proposed Malaysian Media Council would be enacted by an Act of Parliament, similar to the PCI. “A statutory independent body will be effective and will earn its recognition. Anything less will be regarded as a non-governmental organization and will not serve its purpose. I am available for consultation to The Government of Malaysia and The Malaysian Media Community with Press- Media Council materials from different parts of UN continents. The attached materials of WAPC initiatives in Malaysia is self explanatory.

I hope you will encourage to circulate like The Epoch Times materials in Malaysia to develop a Culture Of Debate , Dialogue, and Critical Understanding of each others Issues on Priorities for The Future to avoid tragedy and suffering.

” Promote Global Peace , Global Understanding & Global Co-operation ”

Very truly yours,

10th Aug.2005

Secretary General – World Association of Press & Media Councils.
