读者来函:国父的建国价值观怎么了?

早前,因为文章被指涉及诽谤内容,和本社总编许渊臣一同接受警方调查的读者Willy Sum(笔名),在沉寂一段时日后,于昨日撰文阐述对近期发生在自身的事件表达看法,表示自己是秉持良心发声,也吁请大家不要停止对努力建设美好社会的追求和坚持。

亲爱的新加坡国民,

对于《网络公民》许总编和我本人来说,自被“逮捕”以来,我们经历了较动荡的两周。

我当时受到警方来函,逮捕令指示我必须在指定时间内现身录供,但即使重大案件的嫌犯,也会被给与两、三星期的期限来釐清嫌疑!

在“刑事诽谤”指控下接受调查期间,我感到我被当作国家敌人般处理。即便我寄给工人党议员毕丹星、和此案完全无关的电邮和信息也要被调查,令我感到冒犯,完全没有人的尊严。

执法当局没收了我们的电子设备,这是都是我们赖以反抗现代压迫的工具,向老百姓们揭示种种的不公和差异。如果这些议题继续扫在地毯下,无需接受民众质询,民间生活不会获得改善。

促使我仍继续为社会正义落笔的原因,是我国寡头政治体系施政造成的诸多严重问题。绝对的权力几乎不受审查,国家机构的职能形同虚设!对建制派提出的质疑声音,也会遭来政府机关的蛮力威胁。

我从未诋毁并造成他人对政府失去信心,但是种种事件,包括总统制修宪、2015选举承诺跳票增消费税、屋龄40以上的老组屋屋价下跌,还有欧思礼38号风波,都在考验着国人对政府的信任。

敢问,这会是我们国父建立这个国家的价值观吗?如果不是,那么在李光耀先生仙逝后,我们的国家怎么了?我恳请大家好好思考,我们究竟要一个怎样的新加坡社会?现在的施政制度,真的符合您的理想吗?

我们作为部落客和社运份子,秉持良心竭尽心力,通常是自掏腰包和安危自负的情况下,为公众发声和争取大家的权益。但如今一个接着一个,被国家以诉讼和刑事指控来对付。若我们无法继续走下去,我们恳请您,还有更多有志之士,能把共建美好社会的使命传承下去。
