《当今大马》编辑先生，
您好！
针对贵网站昨日刊登的一则题为《刘永山陈春水两议员双双败选，基层反风冲击雪行动党当权派？》的文章，本人谨此针对文中作出回应。文章尾端提及贵网站“今日（10月18日）多番尝试联络刘永山，以询问其兵败灵北国会选区联委会主席职的看法，惟不果。”
其实，本人昨日一整天并没有接获来自贵网站记者的联络。这篇文章似乎隐射本人有意回避记者电访，其实事实并非如此。本人昨日下午亦接获《独立新闻在线》记者黄书琪电访，并一一回答她的问题。因此本人必须作出澄清。
本人也针对部分所谓的“党内人士”频频利用媒体，包括电子媒体兴风作浪、四处放火造谣而感到遗憾。如果党员们认为应该团结，那这种行为令人不敢恭维。无论如何，本人认为必须针对报道中数点予以回应，以正视听。惟本人也仅回应至此，更不会再通过媒体针对党内的问题再作回应。如果党员有任何疑问，我欢迎他们直接联络本人。
首先，这些党内人士认为，该党精英领导层与草根党员的沟通与协调不良，导致基层代表通过选票抗议，造成议员级候选人在竞选中落马的主因。我必须开宗明义表示，和一些诸如刘镇东同志、潘俭伟同志、查尔斯同志等人相比，本人可谓是望尘莫及。
如果有人说本人只是“一届议员”、没经过基层洗礼，也没尝试了解基层意愿，这对本人亦不公平。本人自2004年1月1日便成为行动党党员，并且在正式加入党之前半年，也就是在2003年中开始参与和活跃于八打灵再也行动党的活动。在2004年大选，曾经有领袖邀请本人参选，但是本人婉拒好意，并认为新晋党员必须经过基层工作以及至少一届全国大选的洗礼。
本人在2005年正式成为行动党总部的员工。当时总部员工人数并不如今日那么多，只有大约9人，过后一些同事相续离开，最后只剩下7人左右，因此工作量非常大。我虽是政治秘书，但是工作不管轻重高低，本人大多必须亲自操刀。当上这职位之后，本人必须经常和全国各地包括雪州的基层和元老党员交流沟通。
针对“天兵”的指责，本人必须澄清，本人从开始参与行动党迄今一直在八打灵再也活动。那我是什么样子的“天兵”呢？
对于本人的落败/获胜，我相信北区的党员都是有独立思考能力的党员，而不是盲从菜单投票的党员。前日北区改选大多中选的领袖，不管是基层党员，还是所谓的‘精英’，都以微差多数票获胜。这证明北区的党员不是投票机器而已，而是会思考的进步党员。
不管中选什么职位，我希望北区行动党将会是一支领导改变的进步力量、一支服务人民的能干队伍、一支积极与青年妇女互动的活力队伍以及一支能够与多元族群互动的多元队伍。
针对刘天球——郑文福风波，雪州行动党州委会从事情于7月27日见报之后，我们就于隔日，即7月28日和7月30日开会讨论此事。郑刘两人亦出席这两次的会议。会议也针对两人的问题进行讨论，甚至出现两人被问得哑口无言的情况。会议的目的是要以党和民联的利益为前提解决问题并无偏袒任何一方。两人也知道会议的结果，也没有任何异议。至于纪律委员会如何做决定，这并非是雪州联委会的权力。
本人现在的责任必须尽全力把11月28日的代表大会做好。是次代表大会是历史上最大型，也是最耗费的会议。届时将会有约1000名代表出席。要如何管理当天的流程，以及事前的准备工作是一大挑战。我衷心希望各个支部的党员能够和秘书处保持联络，减少摩擦和误会。
谢谢！
刘永山
雪州行动党秘书

Regret that u were not voted into PJU team. But u should understand the real reason being the grassroots no give a damn to the hand handed modus operandi of national leaders like LGE etc who practice favouritism without considering retain talents. By continuing with this style of leadership DAp will go no where. Learn from history please.
I still trust u are a politician with genuine aspirations. Good luck.
Dump Ronnie Liu and get back Tee BH as he is an asset at grassroot level. LKS can't deny it.
Dear CYC,
Thank you for your comment. For your information, I am elected as the Vice Chairman of PJU Parliamentary Liaison Committee despite losing the battle for Chairmanship with two votes during second round voting (meaning that both James Ooi and I scored the same votes during first round voting).
LKS and LGE are not involved in every minor happenings in the party. I think it is unfair to involve them. As for Tee Boon Hock, it is an undeniable fact that he has recommended his son's company for jobs with Klang Municipal Council. The question lies with the extend of the punishment meted out by the party and the government.
LKS and son undeniably involved in many incidences where some very capable people being ousted or marginalised. Take Johor for example, why was Dr Boo Cheng Hau constantly being marginalised though he is the state chief. Why was Manoharan being ousted as Selangor chief when he as officially elected few years ago and instead reelection was instructed and Ean Yong was installed as chief ? Please treat us as equal and not stupid fool. While we voted DAP into power, we don't expect our trust be misused for selfish gain by those who think they are indispensable.
In Tee case, what the public wanted to know is why Ronnie was not punished when he clearly committed wrong doings. He is a liability of DAP in the eyes of many. Dare to carry out census to prove it otherwise ?
Sdr CYC, I am trying to correct the facts. Dr Boo Cheng Hau lost the CEC election in 2004 but he was co-opted as CEC member in 2004, LGE was elected as DAP Secretary-General then. Until today, Dr Boo Cheng Hau is still the state chairman of Johore DAP.
Sdr Manoharan was the State Chairman quite some time ago, if I am correct, he was chairman around ~2000. Ean Yong became the chairman in 2006, 2007. The up-and-down of the two chairmen are certainly not inter-related.
As for the case of Ronnie Liu and Tee Boon Hock, I am okay for whatever census to be carried out. I suggest you to read the comments at http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/from-around-the-blogs/35625-the-rise-of-dap-justice-reform-group and http://www.malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/from-around-the-blogs/35626-nasihat-kepada-lim-kit-siang-lim-guan-eng-dan-au-yong-hian-wah
Much as u like to correct the facts, why was Ong Chee Kin stripped off his chairmanship in favour of Ean Yong ? Since when DAP's constitution empowered such undemocratic act? Care to also enlighten us if LGE really take note and assist Dr Boo in his struggle to build up Johor DAP or he is more willing to see Gwee Tiong Hian to move up the hierearchy despite his lack of charisma as a leader ? Then again, why was Teng Chang Khim was sidelined in favour of Ronnie Liu who was proven to be a so called leader that failed to connect with people in PJ Utara despite standing twice as GE candidate? It is a disaster to put him in the portfolio handling local council. Check with ground and see if my perception is self made or represent the common feeling of voters.
DAP used to has many talented people but mostly faded away thereafter, why? It is a common knowledge or consensus that Mahathir though a dictator but he is much tolerant of his critics hence managed to retain many of his lieutenants compared to LKS.
Politics is not a man show and its objective must be geared towards the common good of the rakyats and not towards the glory of few leaders. As long as the public opinions are ignored, DAP will find its marching to Putrajaya a sheer dream or fantasy at most.
Dear CYC,
I disagree if you believe that Mahathis is much tolerant of his critics and hence managed to retain many of his lieutenants.
You can check with most of the senior civil servants in town, especially those who had served him before.
The problem that we are facing is sometimes, and it happens sometimes, that the views of the public and the views of the grassroots are very much different.
Dear Lau,
Procrastination is a slower but more painful form of self destruction. I rest my case.
