According to the report of Malaysia's Xingzhou daily on December 8, the results of the 2019 Malaysian annual Chinese character selection activity were released. The word "cheat" took the lead all the way, and finally stood out among the top ten candidate Chinese characters and became the Chinese character of 2019.
The event was mainly urged by the Malaysian Chinese Great Hall Association (China General Manager), hosted by the Malaysian Chinese Culture Center (Chinese Culture), and jointly organized by the Malaysian Chinese language standardization Council (language model), the Malaysian Chinese Newspaper Editors Association (Editorial Association) and Malaysian Radio Station aifm.
This year, the Working Committee on Chinese characters received 267 groups of Chinese character proposals. The top ten candidate Chinese characters were 'worry', 'tax', 'disgust', 'haze', 'sleepiness',' regret ',' horse ',' claw ',' chaos' and 'deception'.
Finally, the word "cheat" won 6276 votes, accounting for 24.62% of the total votes, while "hate" and "horse" ranked second and third with 2989 and 2688 votes, accounting for 11.72% and 10.54% of the total votes, respectively.
At the 2019 Malaysian annual Chinese character announcement ceremony, Datuk Wu hengcan, chairman of the Malaysian Chinese culture center and chairman of the Chinese character working committee, said that the 2019 Chinese character is the disease summarized by all the people after the pulse diagnosis for the country.
'This word looks negative, but it is a good thing in a positive sense. Isn't it a good thing to find out what's wrong with yourself early? "
He pointed out that the annual Chinese characters reflect the people's unified report on the national physical examination. Only after knowing the physical health index can the medicine be applied to the case.
'the annual Chinese character for the 2016 referendum is & lsquo; Greedy & rsquo;, If there had been immediate treatment, surgery and medication at that time, we would not have been terminally ill and ended up today. "
Wu hengcan said that he hoped that the rulers would not repeat the situation that the then government ignored in 2016 and eventually fell into a terminal illness. " The lesson of the past is the cover of the rear. Those in power must understand the public opinion and the people's conditions and face up to the word of national consensus. "
He said that Malaysia's annual Chinese character activity will enter its tenth anniversary next year. The working committee proposed to hold a symposium on "playing Malaysia in 100 words in 10 years and cross telling the past in 10 years". Through the 100 Chinese characters and 10 successful Chinese characters voted by the people in the past 10 years, it will deeply analyze the road taken by the country in politics, economy, culture and education in the past.
'we hope to look forward to the future in 2020 and play & lsquo; Chinese characters refer to Politics & rsquo; The special function is to write a glorious page in Malaysia for the Chinese characters that have come down in a continuous line for 5000 years. "
Wu Tianquan, chairman of the Chinese characters Working Committee and adviser to the Chinese characters Working Committee, said that no matter which Chinese characters are finally selected, the Malaysian government and citizens should face it calmly.
"We should use this word as a ruler and use it well."
He stressed that the annual Chinese character election is fair and just, and there are professional reviews at each stage to ensure that each vote has an effect.
Just a few days ago, the Taiwan region also elected the "Chinese character of the year.". Finally, the word "chaos" has once again become the local "Chinese character of the year" since 2008.
