2021 Chinese New Year Message By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 10.2.2021:
DAP wishes the Chinese community a Happy Chinese New Year. Even though Chinese New Year festivities will be muted and quieter this year, we celebrate the Chinese New Year in the positive spirit of hope and belief that this year will be better.
As loyal Malaysian citizens, the Chinese community ask to be treated fairly. Only an inclusive society that promotes national unity, religious harmony and mutual respect amongst the different ethnic groups can ensure peace and prosperity.
So long as we keep our family together safe and healthy, we can still fight for their economic and education future. For this reason we hope that the government will play their role by ensuring full compliance and there are no double-standards in the application of the COVID-19 SOPs.
Businesses should not be victimised with unfair demands by the authorities but should be helped with direct grants to help to save jobs, businesses and livelihoods. We must boldly embrace digitalisation, not only for our business but also secure the education future of our children.
The government must buy laptops for every student to implement online education. We can no longer allow our children to stay at home and not go to school anymore. There is more to share when wealth is created, and knowledge gained.
Malaysians deserve to live better. DAP will continue to listen to the people, work for the people and give hope to secure our children’s future.
Gong Xi Fa Cai.
LIM GUAN ENG
民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2021年2月10日在吉隆坡发表的农历新年献词:
今年是辛丑牛年，民主行动党在此恭祝全国华裔同胞和华社新年快乐，万事如意，平安健康。因受到疫情影响，使得人民今年只能低调庆新年，但希望大家心中仍充满着希望和信念，相信今年会更好。
作为马来西亚的忠实公民，华裔族群希望能获得公平对待。拥有一个能够促进各族之间的国民团结、宗教和谐和相互尊重的包容性社会，才能确保国家和平和繁荣。
只要我们能确保家人平安健康地生活，我们未来依然还可为他们的经济和教育前景而奋斗。因此，我们希望政府能够发挥他们的作用，确保行事合乎规则，在落实防疫标准作用程序时不存有双重标准的做法。
企业不应该因为有关当局的不公平要求而受害，反之，他们应该要获得直接的财务援助，以挽救工作机会、企业和生计。我们必须大胆的接纳数码化，这不仅是为了我们的生意业务，也是为了保障孩子未来的教育发展。
政府必须购买电脑予每位学生，以便他们可以进行线上学习。我们不能再让孩子留在家中而不上学。创造财富和知识，将可让我们可以分享得更多。
马来西亚人值得更好的生活。行动党将继续倾听人民的心声，为人民服务，保障孩子们的未来。
再次恭祝大家新年快乐，牛转乾坤，我们能赢。
恭喜发财。
林冠英
