马来西亚巡逻船的辟谣与反辟谣

可能许多朋友看到这个标题会不服气。稍安勿躁，请先看文本贴再作评论。
　　首先，让我们回顾一下这篇引起争议的新闻，标题是《马来西亚军舰南海追逐中国军舰发生故障险沉没》，以下是全文：
　　据马来西亚媒体报道，9月15日，马来西亚海军“KDPari”号巡逻艇在南沙群岛弹丸礁（马来西亚方面称为拉央拉央岛）海域追逐一艘中国护卫舰时发生技术故障，船轴脱落导致主船舱进水，险些沉没。
　　报道称，马来西亚海军参谋长丹斯里阿都阿兹向《海峡时报》证实，该军舰当时正在追逐一艘疑似挂着中国旗帜的护卫舰。
　　阿都阿兹表示，“KDPari”号的船员在离岛后不久，于下午2时53分听见一声巨响，结果军舰就出事了。初步调查显示，“KDPari”号巡逻艇因连接螺旋桨和引擎的船轴移位而发生故障。在故障发生后，“KDPari”号巡逻艇立即返航，驶回弹丸礁码头，艇内大量进水。阿都阿兹这样描述受损情况，“我们立即召集潜水员密封船尾的大洞，但此时军舰已是半下沉状态，船员使用多个水泵仍无法把舱内海水抽出。”
　　阿都阿兹还宣称，马来西亚海军另外一艘军舰“KDPahang”号在“KDPari”号出事后，即刻奉令继续完成追逐中国护卫舰的任务。
　　驻守南沙群岛弹丸礁的马来西亚海军“KDPari”军舰和“KDPahang”军舰这两艘军舰，在南海纠纷中经常露面。这两艘军舰，实为小型巡逻炮艇，舷号为别为“3502”和“3503”，曾在2010年4月驱赶过中国海监维权执法船和中国渔政311船。
　　请注意报道的加黑部分，看出其中玄机了吗？
　　亮点一：疑似挂着中国旗帜的护卫舰。来船是哪国的都没搞清楚，莫非挂红旗子的只有中国？
　　亮点二：报道说是“追逐”，但是““KDPari”号的船员在离岛后不久，于下午2时53分听见一声巨响，结果军舰就出事了。”换句话说，刚开出码头没多久就因为漏水掉头啦，恐怕船都没跑起来，这怎追呀？

　　我们不妨对报道推敲一下看合不合逻辑：
　　一、假设小马发现的就是中国的护卫舰，“KDPari”号是在追逐中国军舰过程中沉的，那么可以说：
　　1、报道中就不应该采用“疑似挂着中国旗帜的护卫舰”这种模糊的字眼，而应该是肯定的语气，实际却是国籍都不知道；
　　2、既然是“追逐”中出事故，说明该船正处于较深海域高速航行状态下，这种状态下出现如此重大事故，大家觉得是该原地呼叫救援安全些还是往回开安全些？结果该船返回途中还“大量进水”，要真处在深海还有可能让你平平安安到港才没顶吗？这与“离岛后不久”“出事”的表述明显矛盾。另一角度看，如果不是在深海“追逐”，岂不是说人家的军舰都游到你家门口啦？那该丢脸的是谁？
　　二、假设“KDPari”号没漏水继续跑过去，或者已经过去的“KDPahang”号跟上了护卫舰，他们能做些什么？撞船？开炮？怕也是只能大喇叭“警告”两句，然后呢？在一边儿“伴航”？在屁股后头“尾行”？何况“KDPari”号刚出来就沉底儿啦，连人家的影子都没瞅着呢。这要是传到小马国内还不翻了天？马脸往哪搁？于是马媒从国家荣誉出发，告诉大众：“我们的船是在追逐驱赶中国军舰过程中沉的，勇敢！英雄！”

　　但马媒真是这么报道的吗？这个问题晚点再说。

　　现在我们知道的是，华文的媒体秉持“万分敬业”的即时传播精神，顺便也为了那点能和票票挂钩的点击率，用汉语丰富的词汇，生动了一下标题，巧妙了一下文章，好嘛，“疑似”就成事实了，面儿都没见就能“追逐”了。于是除去那些个别有用心的“旺财”，许多纯洁的朋友就开始骂政府骂军队啦，浑然不知又一次被那些个的文字游戏给绕昏了脑袋。中国的海军、渔政在东海都没怵过鬼子，在南海都割过电缆，会怕小破船？而我们的媒体，却在这件事中将善于炒作煽动的本性再次显露。

　　那么，马来西亚媒体的报道又是怎样的？以下是马媒“星报”网络版的英文报道全文：

　　Patrol boat almost sinks in Sabah
　　KUALA LUMPUR: A Royal Malaysian Navy patrol ship, KD Pari, almost sank when its main engine room sprang a leak after one of its shafts came off.
　　The incident was said to have occurred at 2.53pm on Thursday when the “fast attack craft” had just left Pulau Layang-Layang to patrol the Gugusan Semarang Peninjau in Sabah waters.
　　However, all nine officers and 27 other crew members were safe.
　　Public relations officer of the navy headquarters, Lt-Kdr Masliza Maaris, said in a statement that swift action by the commanding officer and the crew succeeded in bringing the vessel closer to the Pulau Layang-Layang jetty.
　　“After getting close to the jetty, the vessel half sank as it took in too much water despite using several mobile pumps to pump the water out,” she said.
　　Lt-Kdr Mazliza said with the help of the navy’s divers, KD Pari was set afloat again using lifting bags. — Bernama
　　原文中只提到该船离港巡逻途中发生事故，没有出现任何有关中国的报道。懂英文的朋友们也可以来阅读一下，报道中可出现了“中国护卫舰”或“疑似”“中国护卫舰”或“追逐”“驱赶”之类的词语？
　　在此要劝那些火气较大的朋友，请先搞清楚事情的来龙去脉再张口骂街也不晚，否则到头来被耍得团团转的恐怕还是自己，就好比影院门口贴着“七男一女数天惊涛骇浪的海上销魂之旅”，你掏了钱却只看了场《八仙过海》。

Navy vessel breaks down while chasing ship

KUALA LUMPUR: A Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) vessel, in pursuit of a foreign ship encroaching on waters off Pulau Layang Layang on Thursday, was forced to abandon its operation after its engine room was flooded.
RMN chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar said the crew of the Fast Attack Craft-Gun (FAC-G) vessel KD Pari heard a 'loud bang' soon after it had departed the island westward to pursue a China-flagged vessel, believed to be a frigate, spotted at Gugusan Semarang Peninjau in the South China Sea at 2.53pm.

"Initial investigations revealed that the KD Pari sustained a dislodged shaft, which connects the propeller to the engine, and the vessel turned back to its base.


"The professional action of KD Pari's 36 crew members, under the command of Lt-Cdr Abdul Hadi Abdul Malik, managed to steer the stricken vessel towards Pulau Layang Layang's jetty where it became partially submerged four hours later.

"After attempts by the crew to siphon out the fast in-flowing water with portable pumps failed, divers were called in to first seal the huge hole at the stern tube before using air-fillled 'lifting bags' to float the vessel."

He added a second RMN ship, the new-generation patrol vessel KD Pahang was immediately summoned to pursue the China-flagged ship and managed to "shoo it away" after efforts to communicate with it failed.


"A board of inquiry has been established to investigate the incident and assess the damage to KD Pari."

Damage to KD Pari, which reportedly underwent refurbishment in 2009 to the tune of RM12 million, is believed to be in the tens of millions of ringgit.

The assistance of the Royal Malaysian Air Force was also sought to despatch a CN-235 maritime patrol craft from Kota Kinabalu and a C-130 Hercules from Subang to Pulau Layang Layang to ferry additional technical crew and equipment to salvage KD Pari.


KD Pari, pennant number 3510, was built by Hong Leong-Lurssen at its Butterworth shipyard and commissioned on March 23, 1977.

It weighs 244 tonnes, is 44.9m x 7m x 2.5m, can sail at 32 knots and is manned by 36 crew members

The RMN also confirmed that another FAC-G vessel, KD Serang, sustained a small fire from a short-circuit on Aug 31 while minesweeper KD Todak was 'grounded' after a slight mishap with a floating object two months earlier.
