組圖：香港大紀元馬國駐港領館請願
【大紀元8月12日訊】大紀元記者李思婷香港報導／香港大紀元職員和義工12日下午，由港島灣仔稅務大樓前的空地，遊行至馬來西亞駐港總領館請願，抗議馬國政府在中共的壓力下，數度扣押並禁止《大紀元報紙》在馬國發行，嚴重侵害言論和新聞自由。
香港多個民間團體包括中華盟會、全球營救王炳章大聯盟和南方民主同盟的代表伍國雄、柳玉成和龍緯汶等人，亦有參加請願活動和發言，並帶領在場人士高喊口號，抗議中共打壓大紀元。
下為香港大紀元《致馬來西亞政府的公開信》全文：
致馬來西亞政府的公開信
致馬來西亞政府
首相ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI先生
財政部部長
國防部部長
本報係香港大紀元時報，大紀元時報是在全球超過30個國家發行8種語文的報紙。中文版大紀元獨立報導，不受包括北京在内的任何政權干預，帶給華人無法抗拒的影響力。也因為如此，大紀元自2000年建報以來，衝破了來自中共各式各樣的壓力和阻力，受到各個國家地區的人民歡迎，得以在自由的國度傳播。
但是讓我們感到驚訝的是自今年6月2日起，在中共施加的壓力下，貴國政府數度扣押並禁止大紀元報紙在馬來西亞發行。不僅侵犯了大紀元的正當權益，涉及到成千上萬的華人知情權，亦是對言論和新聞自由的嚴重侵害。迄今爲止，貴國是第一個屈服於中共的壓力而禁止大紀元傳播的民主國家。
貴國政府和人民應該不會忘記，正是因為得到中共的支持，馬共進行了長時間的暴力革命，加劇了貴國社會的族群衝突，製造了眾多騷亂和血腥事件。對馬來西亞進行赤化和叛亂宣傳的馬來西亞共產黨秘密電台當年就設在中國湖南。
2005年，貴國首相ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI曾指出，在馬共失去影響力後，大馬人民才享有和平與穩定。馬來西亞共產黨的前總書記陳平即使對馬共遊擊隊所開展的殺戮行為表示懺悔，但貴國仍拒絕他入境；貴國副總理說，陳平回歸將會帶來太多痛苦的回憶。
令人費解的是，言猶在耳，貴國政府似乎忘掉了昨日的慘痛教訓。2005年1月10日，馬來西亞政府給中共喉舌《人民日報》頒發出版准證，數月後，卻對揭露中共本質，宣導人權自由價值的大紀元報紙進行扣押。這是一個歷史性的錯誤。
貴國政府聲稱大紀元不中立，報導方向與貴國維持“馬中友好關係”的立場和政策不符。這反映了貴國政府對大紀元的不了解和對中共本質上看法的嚴重錯誤。大紀元時報一直本著敢言作風，對中共專制暴力的本質和作法進行揭露，為的正是人們遠離共產邪惡，獲得自由，為各國社會的安定和諧與友好往來奠定基礎。因為任何真正健康的友好關係，絕不可能建立在暴力和謊言欺騙之上。
正如大紀元社論《九評共產黨》所指出，共產黨在任何時候都沒有改變它的暴力特性，共產黨所到之處，都伴隨著謊言、衝突、暴力和顛覆。大紀元“九評”發表之後，已經有350多萬華人退出中共，中共已經走到了歷史的盡頭。對揭露中共邪惡本質的媒體進行打擊，就等於站在了中共相同的立場，接受中共的滲透和擺佈，這是一個極其危險的舉動。一旦中共邪惡勢力立足，馬國安穩之日將不復存在。站在中共一邊，就等於站在歷史錯誤的一邊，這不應該是貴國政府和人民的選擇。
中共八十年的暴政歷史，不僅給中國人民帶來的沉重的災難，也給世界人民帶來災難。亞洲周邊國家的共產黨組織所從事的暴力殺戮，都以中共為靠山。到目前為止，中共絲毫沒有放棄暴力鬥爭的哲學，最近軍隊少將朱成虎的核戰言論和前國防部長遲浩田關於未來戰爭的內部講話就是明證。中共更沒有放鬆對民主國家的種種滲透，在馬來西亞幾家主流華文報章走親共路線、中文報業市場已經近乎飽和的時候不遺餘力把《人民日報》開進馬國就是一個例子。
對於這樣一個危害人類的組織的揭露，無論如何也不能稱為“不中立”，因為中共的危害是歷史事實、是客觀真相。事實上，貴國政府對中共的危害感同身受。馬來西亞反對中共的言論很多，由於中共和馬共當年的災難，貴國政府亦曾禁止親共的書籍和刊物，並在1960年制定了一條特殊的法律，對共產黨員不經審判就可以逮捕。
馬中關係並不是馬國與中共之間的關係。中共只是個竊國大盜、獨裁流氓，它不等於中國。大陸迅猛的退黨浪潮表明它正在被中國人民拋棄。馬中的關係，必須以普適價值為基礎，而絕不能屈從於中共的政治經濟壓力和謊言之下。中共把黑手伸出馬來西亞，正是它末日途窮的表現，正應該引起貴國政府的警惕。
據了解，扣押大紀元報紙的決定是由貴國安全部的華人副部長謝寬泰做出的。這似乎顯示中共海外滲透的典型做法。很多華商在中國投資，有生意、商業上的利益，中共正試圖利用這一點把黑手伸向海外華人以達成自己骯髒的政治目的。
我們呼籲貴國政府認清中共的謊言，及其對包括中國及馬國在内的全人類的危害，保護言論及新聞自由，早日糾正扣押大紀元的錯誤做法，保持貴國的主權尊嚴；切莫淪爲中共的爪牙，助紂爲虐，為貴國及人民帶來災難。
我們期待貴國政府的正義決定。

英文公開信內容：
August 12, 2005
c/o Malaysia Consulate General of Hong Kong
His Excellency Y.A.B. DATO’ SERI ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI
Prime Minister, Minister of Finance & Minister of Internal Security
Pejabat Perdana Menteri,
Bangunan Perdana Putra,
Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan,
62502 PUTRAJAYA.
His Excellency Y.A.B. DATO’ SERI ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI:
We’d like to bring to your attention a recent halt order by the Minister of Internal Security (MOIS) on the distribution of The Epoch Times in Malaysia. We deeply regret and strongly oppose to the action taken by your government. We ask that the MOIS revoke the order.
The Epoch Times is an independent printing press, providing fair reporting, wide coverage, and insightful analyses on China affairs. The Paper was created merely a few years ago targeting overseas Chinese communities. The Paper has since rapidly grown to be a global entity with worldwide distribution in more than 30 countries in 8 different languages.
Printed copies of the Paper are imported into Malaysia each week for distribution to approximately 8500 readers. The Paper serves as an important voice in the society. It is not just an information provider, more significantly, it is a symbol of press freedom and the rule of law. The Epoch Times is not afraid of issuing truthful reports and coverage which may not seem popular to some.
We extensively cover human rights situations, democratic movements, and dissident groups such as underground churches and Falun Gong spiritual practice. As you may be well aware, many media won’t be willing to cover these stories.
We are disappointed by your government’s action to halt the distribution under the pressure from China, in fear that the newspaper “may result in a negative impression on the ruling government of China.” Through the action, the Malaysia Interior Ministry has willingly become an accomplice in the CCP’s harassment of and interference with the Epoch Times.
Malaysian Government and Malaysians should not forget, it was because of the support from CCP that enabled the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) to conduct lasting revolution that relied on violence, which intensified the cultural conflict within the Malaysian society, resulted in numerous chaotic and bloody incidences. The radio which was responsible for the rebellic propaganda that sovietised Malaysia was based in Hunan Province of China.
The ex-secretary-general of the outlawed (CPM) Chin Peng now regretted the killings, still, he was refused by the Malaysian Government to return to Malaysia recently. Deputy Internal Security Minister Noh Omar stressed the government barred Chin Peng from returning in 2003 on grounds he was still linked to a banned organisation with a “history of perpetrating terrorism” in the country.
Also, we have two reasons to show you that there is no need to fear the ruling party of China —the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). First, communism is dying out worldwide. This is a simple fact. CCP knows its fate, and has become extremely insecure. The Chinese economy has become their tool to solicit support from other nations.
The publication of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” by the Epoch Times last year has resulted in over 350 millions party members’ withdrawal from the CCP . Sided with the CCP is standing on the wrong side of history, this should no be the choice of the Malaysian government and Malaysian.
Second, as the Epoch Times is printed and circulated in Hong Kong where civil liberty and the rule of law have prevailed despite many hiccups from time to time. Respect for human rights and rule of law is exactly what makes foreign investors pour their investments into Hong Kong.
The halt order on the distribution of the Epoch Times in Malaysia has infringed the right of Epoch Times as a media, which involves the right to information of thousands and millions of Chinese and Malaysian. Malaysia is the only democratic country that violates freedom of speech and press freedom in such a manner.
We strongly believe that the continued, uncensored distribution of our Paper world wide including Malaysia is vital in sustaining basic human rights and preserving the core moral values shared by the world, and would help your government demonstrate that your commitment to press freedom as well as people’s right to information.
Please withdraw the halt order.
Yours truly,
The Epoch Times, Hong Kong
