JULY 8 – Today’s debate between Lim Guan Eng and Chua Soi Lek is completely irrelevant as is the title of the debate.
The title is basically whose policies are better for Malaysia: DAP’s
or MCA’s? To begin with is there anything as a policy mooted and driven
by the MCA?
They may be the second member in the BN coalition but that is in name
only: they bark when the master allows them to do and do the dirty work
of their master. In between, hanging around their master with the
begging bowl and waiting for instructions, they entertain the rest of
the country with their sheer stupidity and incompetence.
Oh sorry, I forgot, when the MCA politician believes that no one is looking, he is raping and plundering the country ala PKFZ.
There is nothing that MCA can claim to which has brought honour to
Malaysia or benefitted the country. Its main funder, the Star, is a
party ragsheet with some inserts on sports and entertainment.
Even the newspaper shares the weak and spineless characteristics of
the MCA. When a Home Ministry official raps its knuckles, the Star
editors bend as low as possible in deference.
The MCA is only is able to obtain some concessions on Chinese education when big brother Umno says yes.
When Hishammuddin Hussein Onn was Education Minister, he was pissed
off when Ong Ka Ting and other MCA leaders did not thank him for Chinese
school allocation.
Party leaders kow-tow everytime an Umno chap burps.
So, Michael Yeoh and ASLI may think they have a winner of a debate
but they don’t and Malaysians should remember that the MCA has done much
for themselves and little for others.
Can Chua Soi Lek, Liow Tiong Lai, Ng Yen Yen, Wee Ka Siong and others
make it in the real world?
Only one way to find out, by sending them
packing in the polls. The alternative is too painful to think about: can
you imagine how arrogant the MCA will be if they perform better than in
2008?
