MCA did badly in the 2008 general election, where its inability to check Umno saw the Chinese-based party winning only 15 federal and 32 state seats.

In this year’s general election, the party fared worse with only seven parliamentary and 11 state seats to show.

“We have to do what the Chinese community wants and not what we think we want.

Come party  elections MCA ‘s existential dilemma gets more pronounced. The party, founded on the  Chinese chauvinist  ideologyideology, has failed to come to terms with the changing political narrative in recent years. when they tried to do what was seen as course correction.   feudal mindset. It believes in the mai-baap nature of the government, where citizens fold their hands and wait for the rulers to be benevolen Ong Tee Keat was stripped off the party’s presidency, courtesy pressures from the UMNO,  Another opportunistic politician who used the pkfz issue to make it look as though he was an anti corruption politician! He was defeated by members in a party that preferred a porn star.In a malay polity the various races should abide by the culture and norms of the land ie the malay language, malay customs and adat for unity. The other races can practise their faith, culture and customs without hindrance. Mutual respect and tolerance is the key. In this regard MCA has done well to represent chinese interest within a malay socio politico setting. Unlike the DAP which continuously harp on chinese rights and find fault with the establishment without proferring concrete solutions taking into account the various races. The DAP also cannot keep their house in order and dubiously portray a just and equal society when they cannot even live up to their principles. Here I tend to agree more with Happy Malaysian than the self righteous  On your toes.

“If I were to team up with somebody and I ask my supporters to vote for him and he does not reciprocate, it will create a lot of bad blood among individual leaders after the election.

“This will also contribute to the so-called internal conflict. I am not at all amused, and do not want to get involved in aggravating the factional politics that is deeply entrenched in MCA,” he said.

that members were unhappy with a “peace deal” hatched between Dr Chua and Liow to ensure a smooth leadership transition after the 64-year-old party was rocked by bickering between the two a few months ago.

Under the plan, Liow and Wee will be the party’s number one and two, while two leaders each from Dr Chua and Liow’s camp will be vice-presidents.

For Dr Chua’s camp, they are Tee Yong and Lee, while the ones from Liow’s faction are Chew and former Higher Education deputy minister Datuk Dr Hou Kok Chung.

As for the CC, Dr Chua’s camp will get 13 members and Liow’s faction will get 12.

“Not everyone is for the plan. At the moment, I do not see how it will materialise although the purpose is to unite the party.

“Liow and Dr Chua must come out in the open and explain how the plan is going to work,” Kong had said.

Regardless who wins the MCA polls on Saturday, they will have a tough time wooing back the support of the Chinese community it professes to represent.

Sins call for atonement, crimes must be punished. And what better, if such redemption can be detached from those really culpable and outsourced to some dumb creature that cannot complain? This was the idea behind the Biblical practice of casting a goat into the wilderness after ascribing all manner of ills and improvidence to it. Many virtues extolled by religion have waned over time; scapegoats have thrived.

Right now, Barisan really needs some scapegoats, big, healthy ones. We list a few suggestions for the high command’s consideration.

Barisan  government has stressed that it “does not deny” that crime, corruption and tax evasion led to the outflow RM173.84 billion in 2011.That there would be corruption in the government is perfectly understandable (how else are parties supposed to mobilise the fortunes they need to function?), but did he even make an attempt to speak up in defence of the government when accused of assorted scams? Nowa scam in public perception, instead of the genuine revolution – which has spread to the remotest corners of the land, empowered people and raised productivity and economic growth – that deserves to be celebrated.Despite numerous scandalous revelations, former transport minister Dr Ling Liong Sik is of the opinion that the government was right in its decision to set up the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ).Ling, a former MCA president, justified his stance by saying that PKFZ was now doing very well.

The real problem is the Congress party’s degeneration into a bunch of powerbrokers that has completely forgotten the political party’s primal role, of empowering the people, of mediating between the people and the state. Only leaders and power matter for the party, the people have fallen off its map, except as voters who have to be managed with handouts, identity politics and poll-eve temptations.

This is why it stands devoid of any organic emancipatory imagination of its own and its government needs an external brain graft in the form of a  MCA National Advisory Council.

Implications of Chinese Bigotry is an Chinese essence. One doesn’t need historian Herbert George Wells to divulge the details. A cursory glance in the past will highlight the present.

Everyone knows of similar communal conflagrates that follow till today. Who is the final beneficiary?

Over the last 3 decades, the power people in  Malaysia have emerged from mostly faceless people writing  star out of people. Which in a way says it all – media stars were not faces, and as a result, they lacked the popular adulation It kind of evolved over time, especially with the proliferation of news channels, where newsreaders started getting delusions of grandeur, and soon felt that they were the news, and they made the news, of which they did a damn good job too, and so faces became more important than content. The new behind the scenes puppet masters, whose faces seldom if ever come up on the screen directly, were no longer the editors, it was the era of the perception managers – now vying for space and control with the lobbyists As things stand now,

Enough is clearly enough. The anger we saw spill out on the streets of Kuala Lumpur was an organic act of intensely felt outrage. A spontaneous movement without any leaders or political affiliation, it is a sign that something has finally given way. The idea of living in constant fear, and having to make do with the platitudes of those in charge is no longer going to be met with stoic indifference.Can an election ever throw up the right candidate? Or to put it more moderately, is an election the mechanism best suited to throw up representatives that will strive to work for their constituents and attempt to better their life? Are there in-built into the electoral process, a set of imperatives that help pre-determine one kind of outcome, irrespective of the quality of the candidates?

The country has the longest list of goddesses and yet not very many days back had thrown fresh widows to the fire. This is a country where wine and warmth walk hand in hand with thirst and cold. This is the birth place of ambiguity where veiled idealism and virulent prejudice are one and the same expression. We have thrown the entire palette of criminal colors on his or her face? What mawkish moral justice is demonstrated when one completely shuts off visibility? Who exactly are these men and women stalking the corridors of  power

EXCLUSIVE Crime, corruption and tax evasion – the hemorrhaging of billions of ringgit in dirty money from Malaysia, one of the world’s top countries in illicit capital flight, continues unabated.

Furthermore, Ong said, such practices would only promote factional politics and hurt the party.
