你對我好
對我壞,我對你超壞。
以誠相待,你永遠是我最好的朋友,
背後插刀,我肯定是你最壞的敵人。
我沒有權力要求你對我友好,
但我有權力反擊你對我使壞;
恩怨清楚、愛憎分明,
是我做人處事的原則。
祝福所有應該得到祝福的人,
我很快樂!
詛咒那些應該受到詛咒的人,
我一樣快樂!
Be nice to me, you are ensured many more fold,
the consequence of being nasty is what you could not endure.
Sincerity is my key to everlasting friendship,
stabbing behind will sink your entire flagship.
Right is yours to make friend to me,
so is my right to hate due to humiliation.
The good,the bad and the evil,
my principle to differentiate.
Bless be those who deserved,
from the bottom of my heart.
Curse be those who are disgusted,
my pleasure too

我永遠站在雞蛋那方──村上春樹在耶路撒冷的演講
轉載自:顧記客棧
以色列政府空袭迦萨,获颁耶路撒冷文学奖的日本知名小说家村上春树受到国内外压力,犹疑是否该出席颁奖,结局是,他去了,并掀起了比小说更为震动世人的馀波。
现年六十岁的日本作家村上春树,被《时代杂志》喻为当代最具国际影响力的日本作家。
村 上春树三度问鼎诺贝尔文学奖,被媒体形容为继川端康成、大江健三郎之后,「离诺贝尔文学奖最近的日本人」。他包括《挪威的森林》在内的多部长篇小说作品, 陆续被翻译成四十多国语言,全球销售超过两千万册,近年陆续获得捷克「卡夫卡文学奖」、爱尔兰「法兰克.欧康纳国际短篇小说奖」等多项国际文学奖项肯定。
今年二月初,村上春树获颁耶路撒冷文学奖。该奖项每两年颁发一次,表彰对人类自由、社会公平、政治民主具贡献的作家。历届得奖者包括西蒙波娃、罗素、米兰昆德拉等。
讽刺的是,颁发奖项的以色列政府,近来空袭迦萨,备受国际和平团体批评。日本舆论因此要求村上春树为避免被认为支持以色列近来的军事行动,应拒领该奖项,否则将抵制其作品。
但二月十五日,村上春树在国内外压力下,仍选择赴耶路撒冷出席颁奖典礼。他更出人意料地,在以色列总统佩雷斯面前,公开批判以色列的军事行动,同时一吐作为文学创作者,希望透过描写微不足道的个人,对抗既有权力和体制的深层意义。
村上春树于耶路撒冷的英语演讲辞「永远站在鸡蛋的那方」,道出个人应有的道德勇气、与对体制霸权的深刻反省,随即被国际媒体竞相转载,更超越文坛,在国际政治、人权组织间引起广大迴响。
Today, I have no intention of lying .
今天,我不打算说谎
I have come to Jerusalem today as a novelist, which is to say as a professional spinner of lies.
今天我以一名小说家的身分来到耶路撒冷。而小说家,正是所谓的职业谎言製造者。
Of course, novelists are not the only ones who tell lies. Politicians do it, too, as we all know. Diplomats and military men tell their own kinds of lies on occasion, as do used car salesmen, butchers and builders.
当然,不只小说家会说谎。众所周知,政治人物也会说谎。外交官、将军、二手车业务员、屠夫和建筑师亦不例外。
The lies of novelists differ from others, however, in that no one criticizes the novelist as immoral for telling them. Indeed, the bigger and better his lies and the more ingeniously he creates them, the more he is likely to be praised by the public and the critics. Why should that be?
但是小说家的谎言和其他人不同。没有人会责怪小说家说谎不道德。相反地,小说家愈努力说谎,把谎言说得愈大愈好,大众和评论家反而愈讚赏他。为什麽?
My answer would be this: Namely, that by telling skillful lies - which is to say, by making up fictions that appear to be true - the novelist can bring a truth out to a new location and shine a new light on it.
我的答案是:藉由高超的谎言,也就是创作出几可乱真的小说情节,小说家才能将真相带到新的地方,也才能赋予它新的光辉。
In most cases, it is virtually impossible to grasp a truth in its original form and depict it accurately. This is why we try to grab its tail by luring the truth from its hiding place, transferring it to a fictional location, and replacing it with a fictional form.
在大多数的情况下,我们几乎无法掌握真相,也无法精准的描绘真相。因此,必须把真相从藏匿处挖掘出来,转化到另一个虚构的时空,用虚构的形式来表达。
In order to accomplish this, however, we first have to clarify where the truth lies within us. This is an important qualification for making up good lies.
但是在此之前,我们必须先清楚知道,真相就在我们心中的某处。这是小说家编造好谎言的必要条件。
Today, however, I have no intention of lying. I will try to be as honest as I can. There are a few days in the year when I do not engage in telling lies, and today happens to be one of them.
今天,我不打算说谎。我会尽可能地诚实。我在一年之中只有几天不会说谎,今天刚好就是其中之一。
So let me tell you the truth. A fair number of people advised me not to come here to accept the Jerusalem Prize. Some even warned me they would instigate a boycott of my books if I came.
请容我告诉你们真相。在日本,许多人建议我不要来这裡接受耶路撒冷文学奖。甚至有人警告我,如果我坚持前来,他们会联合抵制我的小说。
The reason for this, of course, was the fierce battle that was raging in Gaza. The UN reported that more than a thousand people had lost their lives in the blockaded Gaza City, many of them unarmed citizens - children and old people.
主要的原因,当然是迦萨正在发生的激烈战斗。根据联合国调查,在被封锁的迦萨城内,已经有超过千人丧生,许多人是手无寸铁的平民、孩童和老人。
Any number of times after receiving notice of the award, I asked myself whether traveling to Israel at a time like this and accepting a literary prize was the proper thing to do, whether this would create the impression that I supported one side in the conflict, that I endorsed the policies of a nation that chose to unleash its overwhelming military power. This is an impression, of course, that I would not wish to give. I do not approve of any war, and I do not support any nation. Neither, of course, do I wish to see my books subjected to a boycott.
我收到获奖通知后,不断问自己:此时到耶路撒冷接受文学奖,是否正确?这会不会让人认为我支持冲突中的某一方,或认为我支持一个发动压倒性武力攻击的国家政策?老实说,我也不想看到自己的书被抵制。
Finally, however, after careful consideration, I made up my mind to come here. One reason for my decision was that all too many people advised me not to do it. Perhaps, like many other novelists, I tend to do the exact opposite of what I am told. If people are telling me - and especially if they are warning me - "don't go there," "don't do that," I tend to want to "go there" and "do that."
经过反覆思考,我还是决定来到这裡。原因之一是,太多人反对我来。我和许多小说家一样,总是要做人们反对的事情。如果有人对我说,尤其是警告我说,「不要去」、「不要这麽做」,我通常反而会特别想去、特别想做。
It's in my nature, you might say, as a novelist. Novelists are a special breed. They cannot genuinely trust anything they have not seen with their own eyes or touched with their own hands.
这就是小说家的天性。小说家是特别的族群,除非亲眼所见,亲手触摸,否则他们不会相信任何事情。
And that is why I am here. I chose to come here rather than stay away. I chose to see for myself rather than not to see. I chose to speak to you rather than to say nothing.
我来到这裡,我选择亲身面对而非置身事外;我选择亲眼目睹而非矇蔽双眼;我选择开口说话,而非沉默不语。
This is not to say that I am here to deliver a political message. To make judgments about right and wrong is one of the novelist's most important duties, of course. It is left to each writer, however, to decide upon the form in which he or she will convey those judgments to others. I myself prefer to transform them into stories - stories that tend toward the surreal. Which is why I do not intend to stand before you today delivering a direct political message.
但是这不代表我要发表任何政治讯息。判断对错,当然是小说家的重要责任,但如何传递判断,每个作家有不同的选择。我个人偏好用故事、尤其用超现实的故事来表达。因此,我今天不会在你们面前发表任何直接的政治讯息。
Please do, however, allow me to deliver one very personal message. It is something that I always keep in mind while I am writing fiction. I have never gone so far as to write it on a piece of paper and paste it to the wall: Rather, it is carved into the wall of my mind, and it goes something like this:
不过,请容我在这裡向你们传达一个非常私人的讯息。这是我创作时永远牢记在心的话语。我从未将这句话真正行诸文字或贴在牆壁,而是刻划在我心灵深处的牆上。这句话是这样的: "Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg." Yes, no matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg.
「以卵击石,在高大坚硬的牆和鸡蛋之间,我永远站在鸡蛋那方。」 无论高牆是多麽正确,鸡蛋是多麽地错误,我永远站在鸡蛋这边。
Someone else will have to decide what is right and what is wrong; perhaps time or history will decide. If there were a novelist who, for whatever reason, wrote works standing with the wall, of what value would such works be?
谁是谁非,自有他人、时间、历史来定论。但若小说家无论何种原因,写出站在高牆这方的作品,这作品岂有任何价值可言?
What is the meaning of this metaphor? In some cases, it is all too simple and clear. Bombers and tanks and rockets and white phosphorus shells are that high, solid wall. The eggs are the unarmed civilians who are crushed and burned and shot by them. This is one meaning of the metaphor.
这代表什麽意思呢?轰炸机、战车、火箭和白磷弹就是那堵高牆;而被它们压碎、烧焦和射杀的平民则是鸡蛋。这是这个比喻的其中一层涵义。
This is not all, though. It carries a deeper meaning. Think of it this way. Each of us is, more or less, an egg. Each of us is a unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell.
更深一层的看,我们每个人,也或多或少都是一枚鸡蛋。我们都是独一无二,装在脆弱外壳中的灵魂。
This is true of me, and it is true of each of you. And each of us, to a greater or lesser degree, is confronting a high, solid wall. The wall has a name: It is The System. The System is supposed to protect us, but sometimes it takes on a life of its own, and then it begins to kill us and cause us to kill others - coldly, efficiently, systematically.
你我也或多或少,都必须面对一堵名为「体制」的高牆。体制照理应该保护我们,但有时它却残杀我们,或迫使我们冷酷、有效率、系统化地残杀别人。
We made The System.
是我们创造了体制
I have only one reason to write novels, and that is to bring the dignity of the individual soul to the surface and shine a light upon it.
我写小说只有一个原因,就是给予每个灵魂尊严,让它们得以沐浴在阳光之下。
The purpose of a story is to sound an alarm, to keep a light trained on The System in order to prevent it from tangling our souls in its web and demeaning them.
故事的目的在于提醒世人,在于检视体制,避免它驯化我们的灵魂、剥夺灵魂的意义。
I fully believe it is the novelist's job to keep trying to clarify the uniqueness of each individual soul by writing stories - stories of life and death, stories of love, stories that make people cry and quake with fear and shake with laughter. This is why we go on, day after day, concocting fictions with utter seriousness.
我深信小说家的职责就是透过创作故事,关于生死、爱情、让人感动落泪、恐惧颤抖或开怀大笑的故事,让人们意识到每个灵魂的独一无二和不可取代。这就是我们为何日复一日,如此严肃编织小说的原因。
My father died last year at the age of 90. He was a retired teacher and a part-time Buddhist priest. When he was in graduate school, he was drafted into the army and sent to fight in China. 我九十岁的父亲去年过世。他是位退休老师和兼职的和尚。当他在京都的研究所念书时,被强制徵召到中国打仗。
As a child born after the war, I used to see him every morning before breakfast offering up long, deeply-felt prayers at the Buddhist altar in our house.
身为战后出生的小孩,我很好奇为何他每天早餐前,都在家中佛坛非常虔诚地祈祷。
One time I asked him why he did this, and he told me he was praying for the people who had died in the war. He was praying for all the people who died, he said, both ally and enemy alike.
有一次我问他原因,他说他是在为所有死于战争的人们祈祷,无论是战友或敌人。
Staring at his back as he knelt at the altar, I seemed to feel the shadow of death hovering around him.
看着他跪在佛坛前的背影,我似乎感受到周遭环绕着死亡的阴影。
My father died, and with him he took his memories, memories that I can never know. But the presence of death that lurked about him remains in my own memory. It is one of the few things I carry on from him, and one of the most important.
我父亲过世了,带走那些我永远无法尽知的记忆。但环绕他周遭那些死亡的阴影却留在我的记忆中。这是我从他身上继承的少数东西之一,却也是最重要的东西之一。
I have only one thing I hope to convey to you today. We are all human beings, individuals transcending nationality and race and religion, fragile eggs faced with a solid wall called The System.
今天,我只希望能向你们传达一个讯息。我们都是人类,超越国籍、种族和宗教,我们都只是一枚面对体制高牆的脆弱鸡蛋。
To all appearances, we have no hope of winning. The wall is too high, too strong - and too cold.
无论怎麽看,我们都毫无胜算。牆实在是太高、太坚硬,也太过冷酷了。
If we have any hope of victory at all, it will have to come from our believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others' souls and from the warmth we gain by joining souls together.
战胜它的唯一可能,只来自于我们全心相信每个灵魂都是独一无二的,只来自于我们全心相信灵魂彼此融合,所能产生的温暖。
Take a moment to think about this. Each of us possesses a tangible, living soul. The System has no such thing.
请花些时间思考这点:我们每个人都拥有独特而活生生的灵魂,体制却没有。
We must not allow The System to exploit us. We must not allow The System to take on a life of its own.
我们不能允许体制剥削我们,我们不能允许体制自行其道。
The System did not make us: We made The System.
体制并未创造我们:是我们创造了体制。
That is all I have to say to you.
这就是我想对你们说的。
I am grateful to have been awarded the Jerusalem Prize. I am grateful that my books are being read by people in many parts of the world. And I am glad to have had the opportunity to speak to you here today.
我很感谢能够获得耶路撒冷文学奖。我很感谢世界各地有那麽多的读者。我很高兴有机会向各位发表演说。

生氣吧,馬來西亞人!
20多年前,當我是大學新生的時候,龍應台的書《野火集》裡那篇《生氣吧,中國人!》給了我很大的啟示。對社會亂象不生氣是姑息養奸。多少罪惡就在我們的沉默下不斷的發生。
不要期待英雄,因為有一個英雄,就必有一群懦夫。只有大多數人不沉默,我們本來就無需英雄。
--鮑鵬山,新說水滸
Always standing up when standing is not easy.
--Street Fighter, the legend of Chu-Li
生氣吧,馬來西亞人!
轉載歐陽文風牧師的文章,《華人笨蛋!》。
我已經很久沒有這麼生氣了。
早上在紐約讀到趙明福死的新聞,還有反貪污委員會的反應,加上政府高官如納茲裡的言論,我對我的國家徹底失望!
接下來,再在〈獨立新聞在線〉讀到陳文華揭露如何被反貪委員會盤問,調查官員極盡恐嚇威脅之能事;如此對待一名市議員,甚至比犯人也不如,這個國家是極權的共產主義國度嗎?
更糟糕的竟然還是調查官員不允許陳文華坐著「協助調查」(這是好聽說詞,哪有人如此對待協助者),還指著他的眉心,開口大罵他「CINA BODOH!」。
一名市議員被調查官員以如此種族主義的字眼謾罵,如果這個官員不被對付,你以為這個國家可能對一般華人平民有多好?
基宮案無聲無息,反貪委員卻忙著調查歐陽捍華、劉永山、郭素沁、黃潔冰、楊巧雙、謝永賢、李寶霖,對了,還有趙明福。這些人不是
不能調查,但更明目張膽的基宮案到底是怎麼一回事?一名牙醫到底有甚麼本事興建壯觀如皇宮般的住家,一扇門就可以等於一幢單層排屋的價格,錢從哪裡來?明顯的問題不查,卻敲鑼打豉查幾個年輕的民聯議員,這是甚麼意思?
反貪污委員會到底是反民聯,還是反貪污?
更甚的是,竟然罵陳文華「華人笨蛋」?!反貪委員會這是一個怎麼病態的組織?!
不過,或許他罵得對,或許華人真的是笨蛋!否則,怎麼可能默默忍受這種侮辱?
華人真的可能是笨蛋,明知貪官那麼多,明知馬華民政當家不當權,還有華人支持馬華民政,還有華人投票支持國陣。
華人真的很有可能是笨蛋,種族主主義橫行,馬華民政到底做了甚麼?有官員罵華人市議員是笨蛋,馬華民政的聲音在哪裡?可我們的華社會還有人笨到以為馬華民政是我們的希望。這種華人不夠笨嗎?
華 人真的非常有可能是笨蛋,安華當年的黑眼圈,馬哈迪說他是自己打自己,真的有人相信,一大把一大把的選票就這樣給了當年的馬哈迪和國陣,根本不理馬哈迪是 怎麼以種種惡法治國。許多華裔優秀學生進不了大學,拿不到外國深造獎學金,馬來人卻沒有這種問題。這是種族主義,還不夠明顯嗎?笨蛋!
可是面對種種不公平的政策,動不動國陣還有人拿出513來嚇選民,可還有華人還是支持國陣,這些華人不是笨蛋又是甚麼?
華人是笨蛋?!
真的,我越來越懷疑馬來西亞有許許多多的華人是笨蛋。懦弱、無知、貪生怕死、欺善怕惡、別人施捨一點甜頭,就暈頭轉向,只想賺錢,只想發財,有奶就是娘,這種人不是蠢才笨蛋又是甚麼?
醒醒吧!如果這時候還不醒,還不辨是非,還不反抗,真是徹頭徹尾的經典超級大笨蛋!

查明真相還他清白
查明真相還他清白
趙氏墜樓身亡事件,是我國首宗助查者在執法單位的辦事處“不知何故”喪命事件,令各界震驚,也引起輿論與議論紛紛。可是,反貪委員會沒有作出明確交代,全國上下人民心中的疑竇也無法打開。
誰該負責任?
一個年輕的生命,在協助反貪委員會調查選區撥款疑被濫用的24小時內,莫名其妙的結束了,令他的家人、朋友及同事痛心疾首,在一片沉重、傷痛的情緒中,大家都希望當局清楚交代整個事件的來龍去脈,還原真相,還趙明福清白。
趙明福已離開了,他無法告訴大家,到底15日下午4時左右到16日中午墜樓時,發生了什么事;只有警方、法醫、鑒證人員、雪州反貪委員會,可以拼湊出趙明福墜樓的真相。
我們認為,當局必須徹查誰應在這起墜樓案負責,包括設立獨立調查委員會徹查此事,若證明人為疏忽,或出現官員濫權,使用不當手法,涉及者必須依法辦理,必要時控上法庭治罪。
獲釋未報平安
一個人,在擁有許多機密文件的執法機構逗留了6個多小時,卻沒有官員發現他的存在;在一個這么重要的辦公樓內,也沒有閉路電視,是令人費解的天方夜譚。
俗語說:家,是最好的避風港;可是,為何被盤問了10多個小時的人,沒有在獲釋后第一時間向家人報平安,而選擇在令他受困的地方睡覺,是個很大的疑問。
大家對趙明福離奇墜樓身亡,心存很多疑問,只有專業的法醫、鑒證人員、警方及反貪委員會,可以釋疑!反貪委會須要明確交待
雪州行政議員歐陽捍華的政治秘書趙明福遭雪州反貪污委員會官員帶走,卻於次日在反貪委員會辦公室離奇墜樓事件,舉國震驚。反貪委會帶走趙明福,說明是協助調查,不料24小時之後,一個充滿理想的年輕人竟被發現臥屍反貪委員辦公樓下,趙明福的親友震驚悲痛不在話下,與他素不相識者讀了新聞報導,同樣感到義憤填膺。
人人心中都有一個問號:趙明福為甚麼墜樓?
整個事件疑點重重,例如死者週末即將和未婚妻拍結婚照,不可能有輕生念頭;又如死者於凌晨3時45分錄取口供完畢,到下午1時30分被發現臥屍5樓之間的冗長8個小時內,他人在哪裡?做了何事?警方須對各項疑點徹查,還死者公道。
一個人活走進雪州反貪委會辦公室,為甚麼竟變成一具屍體?反貪委會必須給死者家屬明確的交待,讓全國人民瞭解事件的真相。
反貪委會為整肅貪腐現象而展開調查行動,職責所在,無可厚非;不過,調查方式須做到合理公正。 以趙明福的情況,他既然只是協助調查,讓他接受近23小時不停的盤詰和施壓,已違背基本人權。這種類似疲勞轟炸式的盤問,對一個既非殺人悍匪,亦非怙惡不 悛的年輕人來說,是過份和殘酷的。
反貪委會本應是一個獨立機構,整肅政商貪污行為,對政壇朝野發揮監督作用,任何行動都不應含有政治議程,這樣始能還社會清廉風氣。政治人物倘若涉貪,無論是在朝或在野,都應展開公正的調查行動。
最近反貪委會連串調查雪州民聯議員的“撥款”事件,雖說是基於職責,但若是只將調查目標鎖定某 個政黨或某個群體,難免會給人民一種不公或針對性政治迫害的偏袒印象。反貪委會過去是否曾調查過所有其他議員的“撥款”問題?其他更嚴重的涉貪案例如某議 員的產業與收入不符課題正被媒體熱炒,反貪官員卻迄今未聽聞有何動作。
首相 納吉及前任首相阿都拉,皆希望去除政商根深蒂固的貪腐問題,因而賦予反貪委會更大的權限,希望該委會能在民眾的心目中建立起威信。那不止因為民主法治是治 國的根本,最重要的走因為它關係到人民的切身利害;一個政府的得民失民,可能有許多原因,但最後都可探究到法治上。韓非子說:“抱法處勢則治,背法去勢則 亂”正是這個道理。
反貪委會的運作若不能堅持其獨立而公正的立場,最終仍會給人民留下偏袒不公的負面印象。
反貪委員會若無法對趙明福之死作出交待,恐會引發民眾不安的情緒。就像不少嫌犯在警局扣留期間 突然斃命的情況一樣,警方若無法提供確實的原因,不但家屬悲憤難平,也會導致一般民眾對執法人員懷有猜疑的態度。民眾無論犯罪與否,一旦被召去反貪委員會 辦公室或警察局,他們的人身安全是否獲得保障?古甘斃命扣留所案迄今已半年,死者屍骨已寒,卻仍未能還他一個公道。執法人員執法時是否尊重人權和濫用職權,人權委員會都應深入查究。
為了維護社會的安定,並為死者伸冤,我們希望本案還有水落石出,真正破案的一日。
趙明福不能白死,也不應白死
扣留犯在警察看管期間離奇斃命的案子屢見不鮮,國人早就質疑執法機關究竟是“保護市民財產與性命”還是“知法犯法濫用私刑”,如今配合反貪污委員會調查工作的趙明福被帶返反貪委雪州總部後,未及24小時就離奇墜樓身亡,令人們對執法機關的廉正與公信力的信心掉落谷底。
趙明福墜樓身亡,究竟是自殺、他殺,還是意外,仍待警方查明(假設警方有此專業能力),但反貪委處理趙明福命案的作風,不但令命案更添疑竇,更令反貪委的公信力蕩然無存。
有正常思維的公眾都會質疑:
一、趙明福的遺體在昨天中午1時30分左右已被發現,但是趙明福的上司歐陽捍華於下午四時抵達反貪委雪州總部時,反貪委為何向歐陽捍華隱瞞趙明福身亡的消息。
二、反貪委全國調查主任蘇克裡斯為何遲至下午五時許才召開一場草草了事的記者會,而其無法交代趙明福在昨天凌晨六時至被發現遺體時的七個多小時裡,究竟人能在哪裡、發生什麼事。
三、反貪委為何會允許一名已“獲准離開”的“證人”長時間在其辦公樓逗留。
“政治修理”接踵而至
反 貪污委員會兩個星期前開始陸續調查民聯在雪蘭莪州的七名華人州議員,雖美其名為調查“選區撥款舞弊”,但設若展開民意調查,相信大多數民眾都會認定反貪委 的所謂“調查”,乃“政治修理”而非單純的肅貪倡廉行動。自從人民聯盟在去年三月全國大選中狂勝後,這類“政治修理”接踵而至,例如人民公正黨實權領袖安 華依布拉欣被控肛交案、雪蘭莪州務大臣依布拉欣修車買牛案,都還讓人印象深刻,歷歷在目。
“政治修理”是政治惡斗的表現,如今這場惡斗竟 然搞出來人命,而令人難過的是,受害者不是在馳騁政壇見慣風雨的從政者,而僅是一名未必承受得起政治惡斗手段形成的精神壓力的受薪助理。無論趙明福死因為 何、為何而死,反貪污委員會及濫用國家機關為其政治利益服務的國陣政府都應成為問責對象。
雪蘭莪州總警長阿布巴卡(Khalid Abu Bakar)向民聯雪蘭莪州務大臣卡立依布拉欣(Khalid Ibrahim)保證嚴辦趙明福命案,但警隊多年來劣跡斑斑,同樣因淪為國陣政府整肅政治異己的工具而備受批評,倘若趙明福命案真有不可告人之內情,警方 會不會官官相護,恐怕還真是人們擔心的事呢!
然而,趙明福畢竟不能白死,也不應白死,民眾要讓這個已犧牲了的性命有價值,就應串聯成一股銳不可當的輿論力量與民間壓力,促成執法機關不得不按照國際執法標准作業,不得不尊重人權、以及成為免於政治操控、有實質意義的執法機關。
倘若民眾一如既往善忘,趙明福就是白死了!(2009年7月17日)
