（八打灵再也31日讯）希望联盟政府昨日宣布设立“大马希望基金”，接受人民捐款，但却引来非议，行动党万宜国会议员王建民则说明，此举是为了防止人民受到诈骗。
他昨晚推文指出，人民之间已开始筹集捐款，若政府能提供官方管道是较好的做法，否则就会导致产生许多筹款诈骗的案件。
他说，许多批评者都忽略了一项重点，那就是这基金有着数项的目的。
他解释，除了防止诈骗，由于许多大马人想要为新大马尽一份力，因此这是让他们有机会展现其热情的明确管道。
王建民也表示，若有者不喜欢这项举措，大可不用捐款。
“我不认为有人会因此责备你，但你也无须批评其他想捐款至相关基金的人。”
I think many of the critics of Tabung Harapan Malaysia (THM) are missing the point. There are a few purposes to the fund: (i) Many Malaysians want to contribute to the building of a new Malaysia. We should let them express their enthusiasm in a tangible manner.

(ii) People were already crowdfunding for this. It's much better if the govt provides an official channel for these contributions. If not, there will be many causes of fundraising frauds out there.

If you don't like the idea, it's fine. Don't contribute to the Tabung. I don't think anyone will hold it against you. But u also don't need to criticize others who want to contribute to this fund.
