“国家独立50年，工人仍受殖民统治”
和平集会
日期：2007年5月1日
时间：早上10点
地点：新山大钟楼草场

五一劳动节集会筹备委员会呼吁全国的工友们，踊跃出席上述的“劳动节和平集会”。纪念劳动节最重要的意义，便是承续过去工人们艰辛奋斗、争取回被资方剥夺的基本权利。
我们都知道，今天我们所享有的每天工作8小时制和每星期最少有一天休假，并不是理所当然的事，更不是资方自愿给予的。在120多年前，是工人先辈们不惜牺牲性命、失去人身自由或遭受资本家暴力的镇压，才成功斗争换取这些权利。
在马来西亚，也是经过漫长的斗争，执政政府才不得不向工人妥协，于1980年终于修改法律，颁布5月1日成为公共假日。然而，维护工人权益的努力，并没有就此停止。
自1994开始，我们把自1886年5月1日起工人通过大型集会表达立场的行动方式给继承下来。那个时代的美国，工人们每天要劳动１４至１６个小时，有的甚至长达１８个小时，但工资却很低。１８８６年５月１日美国和加拿大的工友举行总罢工，迫使资本家实施八小时工作制。当时在罢工工人中流行着一首“八小时之歌”，歌中唱道：“。。。我们从船坞、车间和工场，召集了我们的队伍，争取八小时工作，八小时休息，八小时归自己！”虽然遭受到资本家的反击、当权者的镇压，先辈们仍然英勇地斗争，最后争取到现今的八小时工作制。
我们就延续前人的传统，在5月1日当天举行劳动节集会。让全国的劳动者们，拥有一个属于自己的平台，提出工人们的诉求、反映我们的心声、团结工人以争取合理对待的权益。
今年正是我国独立50周年纪念，而筹备委员会就以“国家独立50年，工人仍受殖民统治”做为今年的主题。因为在国家独立多年后的今天，人民本应该已当家作主、权利应被受到法律的保障，可是辛勤劳动的工友们的基本权益依然被侵蚀。
低收入的城市开拓者的居住权利岌岌可危，例如吉隆坡干榜伯仁邦人民的房屋随时可以被发展商拆除；工厂的工友经常被逼迫加时工作；组织工会争取集体利益的权利率率遭到雇主剥夺；女性的工友在工作场合面对诸多性别歧视以及性骚扰；外籍的劳工被欺骗越洋过来，在这里被欺凌的案件比比皆是；许多的私营化政策无异促使工人们的生活雪上加霜，也是变相的殖民工人们。
纵观现今有些雇主藉着劳动节假日举办消遣与聚餐活动，让工人们逐渐淡忘这个节日的最传统的精神。于是当工人们都不了解劳动节意义时，资本家就会理所当然以提高生产力换取更大的利益下，催促工人每日工作超出八小时，而造成工人们不仅体力劳累而且精神与心理上的不平衡。这也是资本家们最乐意见到的结果。
第一次成立五一委员会是在1998年。当年的劳动节活动是由数个非政府组织以及国会反对党联合成立的五一委员会举办。是年的活动在室内的雪兰莪中华大会堂井井有条地举行，超过1500人出席。
我们的劳动节纪念活动最早于1994年开始每年举行。每年的主题如下：
1994 - 园丘工友与城市开拓者应该享有居住权；废除强硬逼迁行动
1995 - 将园丘社群纳入郊区发展计划
1996 –支持“月薪运动”
1997 - 人民要求公正 – 薪金、房屋/土地以及通货膨胀
1998 - 经济危机：雇主被庇护，工人被压迫
1999 - 马来西亚工人争取真正的改变
2000 - 工人争取最低薪金法
2001 - 为全民的公平发展
2002 - 归还工人的权利： 薪金、工作、工会
2003 –资本家的战争，工人水深火热
2004 –工人争取真正的民主
2005 –全球化侵蚀工人的权利；停止水供和医院私营化
2006 –停止水供服务和医疗服务私营化
2007 –国家独立50年，工人仍受殖民统治
本筹备委员会借此机会,邀请大家前来参加这个意义深远的活动，并希望大家共同为维护工人权利而作出努力。

List of racial discriminations in Malaysia, practiced by government as well as government agencies. This list is an open secret. Best verified by government itself because it got the statistics.
This list is not in the order of importance, that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean least important.
This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Tamils, etc) who were being racially discriminated.
Figures in this list are estimates only and please take it as a guide only. Government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?
This list cover a period of about 50 years since independence (1957).
List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):
(1) Out of all the 5 major banks, only one bank is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by malays
(2) 99% of Petronas directors are malays

(16) 2 Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and 3 are Chinese in October 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given

(35) 3 million Indonesians had migrated into Malaysia and became Malaysian citizens with bumis status
(36) 600000 are the Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC and were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship for 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away due to old age. This shows racism of how easily Indonesians got their citizenship compare with the Chinese and Indians

(42) 3000 mosques/surau were built in all housing estates throughout Malaysia since 1970. No churches, no temples are required to be built in housing estates
(43) 1 Catholic church in Shah Alam took 20 years to apply to be constructed. But told by malay authority that it must look like a factory and not look like a church. Still not yet approved in 2004
(44) 1 publishing of Bible in Iban language banned (in 2002)
(45) 0 of the government TV stations (RTM1, RTM2, TV3) are directors of non-malay origins
(46) 30 government produced TV dramas and films always showed that the bad guys had Chinese face, and the good guys had malay face. You can check it out since 1970s. Recent years, this tendency becomes less
(47) 10 times, at least, malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13 since 1969
(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. Or these Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be developed
(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had been racistly re-delineated so Chinese voters were diluted that Chinese candidates, particularly DAP candidates lost in election since 1970s

(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down malays were seriously assaulted or killed by malays
(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN got per annum while banks fixed deposit is only about 3.5% per annum
There are hundreds more racial discriminations in Malaysia to add to this list of "colossal" racism. It is hope that the victims of racism will write in to expose racism.
Malaysia government should publish statistics showing how much malays had benefited from the "special rights" of malays and at the same time tell the statistics of how much other minority races are being discriminated.
Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.
If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazi, going on onto the non-malays of Malaysia.
Civilized nation, unlike evil Nazi, must publish statistics to show its treatment on its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish……….
We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how "implementation of special rights of malays" had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-malays.
