The elections are over and Sarawakians have made our choice

I am sad to read that there is a sizeable number of people on social media who cannot accept the recently concluded Sarawak elections result have resorted to insulting and mocking Sarawakians.

Many of these insults including  “jungle people”, “living on tree tops with no internet access”, “poor people easily bought with money: “idiots” and “stupid” have crossed the line.

It is also regrettable that many of these insults are of a race and religion nature.

The elections are over and Sarawakians have made our choice. This is democracy at work. Please respect democracy and accept the result of our own choosing.

Sarawakians did not insult anyone when the opposition won Selangor and Penang. No one should insult us either.

We reject politics of hate and insults.

Please stop.

If you respect us, we will respect you back.

(美里9日訊）“請西馬的朋友即刻停止通过社交网絡媒体，对砂拉越人作出污衊謾罵言论，因為这些言论已经超越砂人民的底线。”

砂人聯党中央宣教秘书俞小珊今日發表文告指出，針对第十一届砂拉越州选已经尘埃落定，但是，一些无法接受选举成绩的人民，不断通过社交网絡媒体發表許多污蔑砂拉越人民的言论如：“砂拉越人是深山野人”，“住在树上沒有通訊网絡”，“容易被錢收買的穷人”，以及使用蠢材和愚蠢等，苛刻

污蔑字眼，令人感到非常遺憾!

“这些羞辱砂人的言论將促使宗教种族和諧局面造成很大伤害。”

俞小珊指出，砂拉越州选举是由砂拉越子民每人手中一票决定，这也符合民主机制选举。請尊重民主制度，接受砂拉越子民的决定和选择。

當雪兰莪和槟城州政权，由反对党陣线胜出掌权，砂拉越人民不會也从不發表污衊言论。沒有任何一方可以对民主投票选出的州政府作出羞辱和污衊

的言论。

文告也指出，“你敬我一尺，我敬你一丈，这也是我們砂拉越人民一直都秉持的态度。如果你們尊重我們，我們也同样尊重你們。”

俞小珊一再促請各造停止在社交媒体継续發表不实和污衊的言论。我们砂拉人拒绝污衊,制造仇恨和谩骂的政治文化。
