Personal websites of politicians are mushrooming. Some may say that it serves to bring the general masses closer to their elected representatives. Even mainstream media monitors these sites for the latest information or insights from the politician concerned. Comments from web surfers can give an instant feedback with regards to the articles posted.
Or so you may think.
Following the MCA fiasco, I am convinced that Ong Tee Keat can no longer represent the MCA as president. The EGM resolution clearly states that the majority of delegates no longer have any confidence in his leadership. Forming a pact with a dead duck and tainted politician only underlines his desperation. His deduction that he now commands almost 100% of the support following this partnership is misguided.
I therefore wrote a polite comment on his blog but unfortunately, it has been filtered out. Those that were eventually posted were of course in favour of Ong Tee Keat. Such an action only reaffirms my belief that Ong is not a leader that allows differing views to surface. Therefore it is not surprising that the Central Committee members are not in favour of his leadership and have urged him to honour his word of stepping down.
Now we have two politically dead individuals leading the party. Whether Liow Tiong Lai is competent enough to lead the party, is immaterial at least to Ong. Both Chua Soi Lek and Ong Tee Keat should take a back seat and allow a fresh team to lead MCA.
This is the only dignified way so as to avoid treachery from brewing within MCA despite a friendly facade.
