“Vote us or lose representation in the government”

This is the battle cry of MCA. Such a desperate call is evidence that MCA is aware that they are no longer the legitimate party representing the Chinese in Malaysia. Although they may currently be in the governing body by virtue of being a component party of Barisan Nasional, in reality, they no longer can be the voice of the Chinese in Malaysia.

Holding voters to ransom is hardly a wise choice. It will likely backfire on a party that is losing significant ground in capturing the support of the people that they supposedly represent.

If MCA wants to vacate the traditional allocation given to them in the Federal government, it is their choice. It is a do or die gamble for them. Rather than attempting to recapture the imagination of the Chinese through innovative and progressive measures, they have resorted to such menial tactics.

The Chinese did not vote DAP because it is a “Chinese” party but rather because it believed in the Malaysian dream. It is obvious that BN parties are not getting this but instead play up racial issues. This is obvious when their very existence depends on such racial segregation. UMNO for Malays, MCA for Chinese and MIC for Indians. Such divide and rule tactics are from the colonial era and is archaic.

Unless BN moves with the times, they are likely to lose further support from Malaysians in general.

It has been awhile since I last penned my thoughts on this blog. Work has been keeping me away.

However, recent expose of sexual misconduct, led me to believe that our nation’s leaders and police are no longer objective when it comes to these abject attempts at character assassination.

For the sake of argument, even if it is Anwar in that video, let the voters decide. The fact remains that there has been a violation of one’s privacy. Putting a hidden cam with a malicious intent is a criminal offence. With the perpetrators identified, it is a surprise that they remain free today. The arguments of whether this issue should be debated in Parliament is a testament that politicians have lost sight of the facts. They are just drooling at the prospect that Anwar should be axed from Parliament.

BN do not have much credibility to comment on this issue as one of their leaders have been caught red handed in a similar expose. He has now been elected President of a second largest party in BN.

I think Malaysia is becoming the laughing stock of the world. Accepting invasion of privacy and attempting to shield the criminals with the Whistleblower’s Act, is just plain stupidity and a complete disregard for the Law.

Why are we wasting time and resources on this?
