RPK had a special visitor today, Siew Hoon, his neighbour from Bt Rahman Putra, Sg Buloh. Siew Hoon suffered from an eye degenerative disease. When she was giving birth to her baby 12 years ago, she had to choose between saving her eyesight or saving her baby. She chose her baby and as a consequence, today she is blind. RPK今天有一位特别的访客,Siew Hoon。她是他在双溪毛糯Bt Rahman Putra住家的邻居。Siew Hoon患有眼疾。12 年前,在生小宝宝的时候,在视觉和宝宝之间,她选择了小生命,而结果是,今天她的双目失明了。
Despite her handicap, she came to court to give support to RPK. It really touched us who were privileged to witness them hugging. 虽然患有残疾,但她还是摸索着到了法庭来给RPK支持。看到他们相拥,让有幸见到这一幕的我们深深受到感动。
Siew Hoon related to us their experience when her family first shifted to BRP to be RPK's neighbours. The housing estate suffered frequent breakins. So much so that RPK organised a Rukun Tetangga to guard the area. That's RPK, said Siew Hoon. He is so caring for his neighbours, always fighting for justice. Once when she was alone in the house with her child, a thief climbed on the roof. RPK came out and risked his life to single-handedly chased the thief off. When Siew Hoon called the police, all they asked was: "Did you catch the thief?" The police could not be bothered to help us and it took a civilian to do it. Siew Hoon告诉我们初初搬进去BRP跟RPK做邻居时的一些体验。当时,当地的屋子常常被爆窃。RPK自动自发的搞起了睦邻计划来轮流守夜,保护大家的安全。"那就是RPK。" Siew Hoon 说。他非常关心邻居,经常不平则鸣。有一次,她跟孩子独自在家,一个不懹好意的小偷爬到她的屋顶。RPK跑出来然后冒着生命危险,跟小偷单打独斗,还把坏人赶跑了。Siew Hoon 报警,警方还反问她:"那你们有没有捉到小偷啊?"她说,警方根本不关心市民的安全,反而让市民自己去福祸自理。
Another time, about 10 years back, when Anwar Ibrahim was arrested for sodomy. RPK explained to her, Anwar is not like that. He does not have such sexual preferences knowing him in college. RPK set up the Free Anwar Campaign Site to defend Anwar. He was always fighting for the underdog. 还有一次,大约是10年前,当安华依不拉欣因为鸡奸案而被捕时,RPK向她解释,安华并不是那样的人。在学院求学时,据他所知安华并没有那样的性取向。RPK后来设立了以释放安华为主题的网站,为他正名。他经常都打救落水狗。
He set up Malaysia-Today to fight for us Malaysians. Now that he is in trouble, Siew Hoon re-iterated, we must come out and show him support. If I, a blind person, can do it. There is no reason normal people cannot do it. 之后,他成立了Malaysia-Today这个网站来为我们马来西亚人民争取权益。现在,他身陷囹圄,Siew Hoon 重复的说,我们必须走出来,展示我们对他的支持。"如果,我一介盲人可以做得到,正常人更加没有做不到的理由。" http://tindakmalaysia.com/tm_forums2008/ notes: Thank you to Bobo for Mandarin translation.
