Di bawah adalah kenyataan Khairy Jamaluddin. Di antaranya :
PKM pula yang didakwa diagungkan secara tersirat dalam 'The New Village', merupakan pasukan yang pernah bertindak ganas dan membunuh ribuan rakyat negara ini, kata khairy.
“Ramai mati dalam keadaan mengerikan dengan perut terburai dan kepala dipenggal," katanya.
"Hakikat bahawa (China) itu komunis – yang lebih pada nama dan bukannya pada sifat – tidak membawa maksud yang sama dengan komunisme yang diingati rakyat Malaysia; komunisme yang diagungkan filem itu," kata Khairy lagi.
Dalam kenyataannya itu, Khairy berkata, Parti Komunis Cina berubah sejak zaman Perang Dingin sehingga zaman globalisasi dan melonjakkan China menjadi kuasa besar global.
Sedangkan PKM katanya, tidak pernah mengalami perubahan yang sama – apatah lagi membentuk kerajaan atau bertanggungjawab mengemudi ekonomi negara.
"Pemahaman asas begini PUN tidak mampu dicerna oleh Lim Guan Eng. Beliau lebih senang melihat kita memutuskan hubungan dengan China daripada memikirkan jika terdapat isu lebih serius berkenaan filem ini,"kata Khairy. SeterusnyaKenyataan penuh Khairy Jamaluddin :
Statement by the Leader of UMNO Youth in response to Lim Guan Eng
As press statements go, Lim Guan Eng’s speedy response to my comments regarding the film “The New Village” speaks volumes to his inherently political and partisan character. For context, I questioned why “The New Village” appears to be given an easier ride by the Film Censorship Board compared to “Tanda Putera” whose screening had been delayed by a year until the new release date of Aug 29. Considering the pain and tragedy attached to the points of history at which both films are situated, it was a question I raised to ensure that the sensitivities of all Malaysians were taken into account, what with the screening of the two films meant to happen in the month of our Independence.

Instead of engaging in the question of what was appropriate and accurate to be screened as history, Lim Guan Eng’s statement belies a deep partisan bias on matters that concern national history, identity and sentiment. This bias comes at great cost to the force of his arguments – he employs a most rudimentary logic to arrive at an indefensible conclusion that Utusan and UMNO Youth are hypocrites. I wish to expose this bias.
Lim Guan Eng’s charge of hypocrisy centers on this most curious of arguments: that if Barisan Nasional makes ties with governments or other political parties with a communist past, then it has no right to complain about films that may glorify our own communist history. He quotes our ties with the likes of China and Cuba as examples – and for effect, he brings up the relationship that BN Youth made with the Communist Youth League of China (CYL).
It doesn’t take very much to know that the situations are incomparable. Our relationships with China, Cuba and Vietnam are diplomatic ties with internationally recognized sovereign governments – relationships borne out of trade, economic and geo-political necessitThat they happen to be ‘communist’ – in the case of China clearly more in name than in nature – does not carry the same significance as the communism Malaysians remember; a communism which this film appears to be glorifying.
But let’s indulge Lim Guan Eng in his lazy analogies for a moment longer. The Communist Party of China has undergone a profound evolution in its character as the world moved away from Cold War sensibilities to 21st century globalisation – in the most important ways, it is unrecognizable from its Marxist-Leninist past to the present day incarnation responsible for turning China into a global superpower.
In stark contrast, the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) never went through anything of the sort as far as the Malaysian collective consciousness is concerned. It was not the party of government, it was not responsible for steering this country’s economic progress. Instead, it remains synonymous with a very dark period in our history, conjuring up painful memories for all Malaysians affected by their reign of terror.
But of course these basic comprehensions are lost on Lim Guan Eng. He would sooner suggest we break off ties with China than acknowledge that perhaps more thought should be given to whether there are serious issues surrounding this "The New Village" film.
In fact, isn’t it telling how reactive and sensitive Lim Guan Eng was to my remarks, when what I called for was a review by the censorship board? Even without having seen the film, it wasn’t too difficult to ascertain from the trailer that Communist insurgents were the protagonists painted as national heroes.
Now, unlike Lim Guan Eng, I am receptive to the nuances of history – I understand there can be different readings of historical accounts depending on which period one looks at, and I understand that people and organisations sometimes take up roles with inadvertent outcomes for others.
But one fact is indisputable – that the CPM terrorized and murdered thousands of Malaysians who did not bow to their wishes – many of whom died in gruesome circumstances, disemboweled and dismembered. It is from this sombre point of origin that my discomfort comes.
Lim Guan Eng accused me of stoking "the fire of racism and lies to further divide the nation with walls of hatred and fear" when I never once mentioned race in my initial remarks. And I didn’t for a good reason – because the pain inflicted by the CPM was not felt by one race, but by all Malaysians. And it is a Malaysian – not a Malay or UMNO or Utusan – outrage that occurs when there is any attempt at either historical revisionism or an unfair portrayal of history regarding the CPM.
Instead of indulging in political platitudes – accusing his opponents as divisive, deceptive or hypocritical at every turn – I urge Lim Guan Eng to suspend his partisan judgment when it comes to matters that concern our identity and history as a people. That’s what statesmen do. He should try it sometime.
Tambahan pula, sebelum ini, MiM sering counter hampir kesemua kenyataan anak Kit Siang itu di dalam blog beliau tetapi jarang dicounter oleh kepimpinan BN. Contohnya : BACA SINI
Walau pun kaedah ini sepatutnya diusahakan sejak dulu lagi dan MiM sarankan agar seluruh kepimpinan UMNO/BN juga proaktif menyediakan respons bertulis kepada segala putar belit dan pembohongan pembangkang mulai hari ini.
Jangan lagi dibiarkan mereka begitu bebas menimbulkan persepsi negatif yang jijik dan jahat tanpa respons segera daripada pemimpin BN.
