简介
拿督斯里萨拉瓦南·穆鲁根(Saravanan Murugan,1968年2月4日生)是马来西亚资深政治人物,现任霹雳州打巴国会选区议员。自2008年3月起,他连续蝉联该席位至今[1]。他现任印度国民大会党(国大党)副主席,国大党为国阵成员党之一;2024至2027年任期内,他以无竞争方式蝉联党内该职[1]。萨拉瓦南曾于2000年至2006年担任上议员,此后转战众议院[2]。在国阵执政期间,他历任副部长职务,先后掌管联邦直辖区及城市福利事务(2008至2013年)及青年与体育事务(2013至2018年)[2]。2020年3月至2022年11月,他在首相慕尤丁及依斯迈沙比里执政期间出任人力资源部长,成为当时联邦内阁中唯一的印裔部长,亦是国大党在内阁的唯一代表[1]。萨拉瓦南出身寒微——其父为橡胶园工人,在他就学期间便已离世。此后,他投身农业,在霹雳州江沙拿督峇峇(Tanjung Malim)耕种约11英亩的椰园[2]。自2008年第12届全国大选(GE12)起,他历经第13届(2013年)、第14届(2018年)及第15届(2022年)全国大选,每次均成功卫冕打巴议席[3]。截至2026年,他仍担任打巴国会议员及国大党副主席,并公开表明国大党至今仍是国阵成员党[4]。
代表性议题
萨拉瓦南以自2008年起长期担任打巴国会议员而广为人知。2020年3月至2022年11月,他是联邦内阁中唯一的印裔部长,任内主导落实2022年每月RM1,500最低薪资政策。此外,他担任国大党副主席多年,长期就马来西亚印裔社群的权益公开发声,关注领域涵盖宗教节庆活动的开放事宜及劳工福利等议题。
政治立场
担任人力资源部长期间(2020至2022年),萨拉瓦南主持落实每月RM1,500最低薪资,并于2022年5月1日正式生效;针对规模较小的雇主及非正规经济领域,则给予分阶段弹性调整的安排[5]。2022年,他公开就大宝森节庆典活动受限一事向政府提出警示,指出印裔社群对布城的不满情绪正因标准作业程序问题而与日俱增[2]。在国大党的联盟立场上,他多次重申国大党仍是国阵成员党,并未正式申请加入国盟,并强调任何此类决定须经中央工作委员会决议方可执行[4]。
