希盟“分崩离析”、流失马来人支持 前外交官比拉哈里:致新马关系升温

新加坡外交部前常任秘书比拉哈里认为,现今的马国执政联盟希望联盟正“分崩离析”,加上无法稳住马来族群的支持,也导致新马两国不睦关系加剧。

他也指出,当希盟在去年的马国第14届选举中获胜执政,马上新马两国的陈年旧账又被搬到台面上。

近期发生的新马双边课题包括新马水供、新柔港口界限以及领空议题。比拉哈里指出,这些都是长久无法解决的课题,并指出马国只是想拿这些课题来炒作,藉此继续争取民众的支持。

根据《透视大马》报导,在新加坡国立大学举行的一场题为《新加坡、印尼和马来西亚关系》讲座上,比拉哈里向在场约200名学生表示,马哈迪把新加坡当成“妖怪”(bogeyman)鞭挞,乃是屡试不爽的策略,以前当巫统领导人是这样,现在成为希盟土著团结党主席后也这样。

希盟出现内斗

“这已经不只是个人历史包袱的问题了”,他说,马哈迪的个人特色固然是导因之一,但最重要的是,希盟政府盟党行动不一致,内部已在分裂。

他引述默迪卡民调中心的研究,指出马来选票被希盟、巫统以及伊斯兰党瓜分,这三大政党正为马国最大族群的选票而竞争。

他认为,如果希盟要在来届选举继续执政,必将拼力保住马来人选票,这也将加剧希盟内部的不稳定。

基于希盟内斗以及伊斯兰教原教旨主义的壮大,他预见马国政局动荡仍会持续一段时日。

比拉哈里建议我国的新领导层,要和马国打交道,就要继续维持我国的军事能力,展现实力,这是因为马国领导人会“一直试图打压和驯服我国”,即便新加坡已是受认可的主权国家。

“今天,我们的邻邦把我们当作主权国家,这是因为我们发展出了他们无可忽视的能力。”

武力胁迫和谈判都是外交的一部分

他形容,邻国希望在和我国打交道时,我国能接受如同他们华裔族群那样的次等地位的角色。

故此,他呼吁国家的新领导人,继续向马国展示明确的讯息,一旦被逼到墙角,我国有能力启动军事力量,因为外交也不仅仅是展示友好而已,有时武力胁迫和谈判都是外交的一部分。

比拉哈里认为,划清底线很重要,因为双边关系只有在双方清楚底线和相互尊重之下才能确立。

他说,马国对新加坡持续挑衅的行为,其实是根源于我国不分族群唯才是举的精英制度,和马国的种族政策形成鲜明对比。

马国挑衅是因为我国制度更优越

“这项基础是源自我们的本质-一个多元种族与精英组成的城邦都市,却比他们做得更好,而且我们必须继续表现得更优异。”

他也认为,新马两国之间的差异也形同是对马国公民的一种隐喻嘲讽。
