被谢健平不实指控 社运份子告状到总理处

记者韩俐颖、社运份子范国瀚和历史学者覃炳鑫,一同向人民行动党领导暨总理李显龙致投诉信,投诉该党马林百列集选区议员谢健平前几日在脸书作出不负责任的指控,把邀请马国首相敦马出席活动,曲解成“干预我国内政”。 有关投诉信也发到研究网络假消息特选委会主席张有福处。谢健平也是该特选委会成员。 三人在投诉信中指出,在本月1日,谢健平在脸书贴文称,覃炳鑫连同他的朋友(韩俐颖、刘敬贤和覃炳鑫)会见敦马,邀请后者把民主带来新加坡,并声称新加坡是马来亚的一部分。 ”谢健平的贴文污蔑覃炳鑫邀请敦马干预我国政治,很显然对新加坡不怀好意,暗示后者破坏新加坡主权。他还截图覃博士的脸书作为”证据“,有关贴文是覃炳鑫要求敦马在东南亚推动民主人权扮演引领角色,并希望新马人民有更密切关系。“ 投诉信指出,从以上文字中并没有要求把民主带来新加坡的字眼,也没有要求他人干预我国内政,至今谢健平都没有针对其指控提出有说服力的证明。 谢健平也针对覃炳鑫祝贺新加坡人民”非正式独立日快乐“,就是代表后者把新加坡视为马来西亚(马来亚)的一部分。 然而,事实上开国总理已故李光耀,确实在1963年8月31日,宣布新加坡脱离英殖民统治独立,因此将之理解为现今新加坡是马国一部分,是过度延伸。 更糟的是,谢健平的指控还被人民行动党官方脸书放大, 有数位该党领袖例如律政部长善穆根,也批评请敦马引领推动东南亚民主人权,形同要求马国首相干预我国内政,因为新加坡就处在东南亚中。 谢健平和善穆根的言论,也被本地主流媒体照单全收,大肆报道。 不靠领袖魅力,民主是不间断运动 ”令人失望的是,谢健平选择无视我们在社交媒体提出的反馈。不论是范国瀚还是韩俐颖,都针对与敦马会面表达了看法。…
