“相信政府,我们知道什么对你是最好的。”这完全是政府自夸之言。我们担心,如果我们随便让政府签下影响我们的协定,我们和我们下一代的前途和生计就可能面对危险。

我们见识过《自由贸易协定》(《自贸协定》)在其他国家带来的恶果。现在,《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(《跨太协定》)要和《自贸协定》一样地保密,我们是否应相信政府而默不出声?

如果《自贸协定》有利于人民,我国政府为何不公开协定谈判结果全文,让公民团体详细检查?为何要用保密条款来阻止人民知道其内容?

仅政府或国际贸工部的担保是不足的。难道政府害怕公开辩论?如果真正实行自由市场和开放的政府,就应该让人民看协定的草案。

对已经谈判磋商的《跨太协定》章节,我们已提出了许多我们担心的问题。例如,我们担心,签署协定的国家,如我国,在压力之下同意专利条款,这将拖延比较便宜的仿效药进入我国市场,而我国所需的药品,根据药剂师推荐的,有84.7%是仿效药。如果接受有关协定条款,我国买贵药的时间就更长。

一些人说,我国的某些药物可能起价60-80%;有的官方机构则说专利药可能比仿效药贵1,044%。如治疗爱滋病的专利药,每个病人每年就要花15,000美元,仿效药则不过67美元而已。

我们担心的另一问题是投资者与对象国纷争解决机制(纷争解决机制)。在全世界,纷争解解机制引发了越来越多争议,因为此机制准许外国投资者挑战东道国政府对其厂房或地点所采取的行动,即使是维护公众利益的行动,如关系健康和环境者;理由是此类行动会影响它们的投资或利润。

这会造成我国天然资源被随意掠夺吗?环境污染和退化对大众健康又会有什么影响?至今为止,协定如何解决这些我们担心的问题,我们还在等待我国政府公布其条文。这也就是说,政府还没回答我们担心的问题。

《自贸协定》是一种再殖民化的方式。印度著名环保人士万达纳·西瓦说:“经济全球化是对贫穷国家以及富国贫民的一种新型的企业殖民主义。”他说:“它要我们相信,这种使人民更贫穷,对全球大破坏的发展方式,如果在各地高速自由地实行,将带来一个完全不同和非常有利的结果。”

我们担心,《跨太协定》要推行的变化和改革,对我国整体国民的影响很大。签订这样的一份有法律约束力的协定是犯大错,因为要取消它需付出很大的代价,包括许多国际法律诉讼、钱财赔偿、磋商谈判等等。我国现在就退出《跨太协定》还不迟。

我国政府应该做出正确的决定——退出《跨太协定》!

Testimonials

Sahabat Alam Malaysia adalah satu badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang telah sekian lama berjuang mempertahan kelestarian alam. Ia juga mendidik masyarakat tentang pentingnya kebersamaan dalam pemikiran dan tindakan agar alam ini dapat kita wariskan kepada generasi hadapan dalam keadaan yang elok dan terpelihara. Dalam pada itu juga SAM giat membantu golongan nelayan pantai dalam memperjuangkan hak-hak mereka sehinggalah tertubuhnya Persatuan Pendidikan dan Kebajikan Nelayan Pantai Malaysia (JARING). Nelayan pantai sepenuh masa ini dididik oleh SAM sehingga mereka mampu memainkan peranan sebagai pemimpin nelayan yang meneruskan kesinambungan memperjuangkan hak-hak nelayan pantai lainnya. Sebagai contoh SAM telah berjaya menyedarkan masyarakat nelayan keperluan menjaga hutan paya bakau untuk kebaikan hasil tangkapan nelayan itu sendiri.

During the 1980s, I used to read about the Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) in the news. After retirement, some time in 2001, while lazing around, I read news about the construction of a carbon in leach plant using sodium cyanide to extract gold in Bukit Koman. My friends and I visited CAP and we were introduced to SAM and her legal team. We discussed the details of filing a case against the gold mining company and the department of environment with Ms Meenakshi Raman and her legal team. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between lawyers from SAM and many of us from Bukit Koman. We had many ups and downs in our struggle to shut down the gold mine that was causing a nuisance in our village. But, as a community we never gave up because SAM had our backs.

Sahabat Alam Malaysia adalah sebuah NGO yang memperjuangkan nasib masyarakat luar bandar khasnya. SAM menerima aduan-aduan masyarakat dan menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi. SAM telah mewujudkan ramai aktivis-aktivis sosial dan alam sekitar. Pada era 1980 dan 90an SAM sangat dihormati oleh masyarakat dan agensi kerajaan. Apabila media sosial menguasai maklumat maka SAM pun terkesan dan masalah masyarakat terus disalurkan dengan pelbagai cara. SAM perlu mewujudkan aktivis-aktivis pelapis yang muda untuk terus membantu masyarakat. SAM juga perlu membuat perubahan supaya banyak turun kelapangan dan jangan mengharapkan laporan media sahaja. Tingkatkan prestasi sebagaimana pada zaman kegemilangan SAM di era 80-90an.

SAM taught me the importance of social activism and the role it plays in upholding the rights of people and the protection of the environment. In my experience, SAM has never hesitated to speak up in defence of people and their environment, and has gone the extra mile to champion their rights, by helping communities take their battles to the higher ups and even to the courts.

Semenjak kami kenal SAM, banyak pengalaman dan pengetahuan yg kami dapat. Kami telah belajar cara membuat baja asli daripada SAM. Semenjak itu, bermulalah minat kami dalam aktiviti pertanian. Dengan memperolehi kemahiran dalam membuat baja asli dan penanaman lestari, kami juga telah dapat menambahkan pendapatan sampingan kami. Ini lebih baik daripada tanah kami terbiar dan tidak diusahakan. Terima kasih SAM kerana sudi memberi bantuan dan tunjuk ajar kepada Persatuan kami.

My journey with SAM started when her community organisers took me to the meet the paddy farmers of Kedah, connecting my growing interest in environmental law with our people who struggle to work the land in the face of pollution, replacement of traditional seeds with commercial hybrids and their accompanying chemical package of fertilisers and weedicides. I then had the honour to work with SAM in the struggle for the rights of the native communities of Sarawak, in defence of their forests from massive logging and destructive mega-projects. In every issue that SAM takes up, she combines rigorous research with the realities and voices of the communities to advocate for policies and laws that care for people and nature. From the courts to the elected legislators to policy makers and implementers and to the United Nations, SAM walks side by side with the communities in Malaysia. How can I not be inspired by the vision and passion of the generations of women and men who coalesce to form SAM?
