Building of Ong MCA political empire at the expense of MCA leaders, Ministers and MPs
(Media Conference Statement (3) at DAP Ipoh Timur Ops Centre on Thursday 29th February 2008 at 1 pm)
I take great offence at the highly defamatory allegation by MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting hurled at DAP leaders that they are greedy and selfish in contesting in two seats, parliamentary and state assembly, as wanting to collect two allowances of Member of Parliament and State Assemblyman.
DAP leaders are very different from MCA leaders including Ka Ting. DAP leaders are in politics not for self gain, wealth, position or government position but for our ideals and principles, and love for our country.
DAP MPs and State Assembly members do not get the constituency development allocations which have now mushroomed to RM5 million per parliamentary constituency for Barisan Nasional MPs –the most blatant example of discriminatory and unaccountable disbursement of public funds, money politics and the root cause of the rampant corruption in the country as it is open knowledge that there are BN MPs and State Assembly members who demand a “cut” for themselves before allocations are made to the public from the constituency development funds.
DAP leaders who are fielded in both parliamentary and state assembly constituencies will have to bear a heavy political responsibility – not to get more allowances but to play a greater role in the larger national objective to strive for a more just and democratic Malaysia.
DAP Secretary-General, Lim Guan Eng, for instance, who is contesting both parliamentary and state assembly seats in Penang, is not in these two contests for the allowances or he would not have stood up on his convictions ten years ago to defend the dignity of an under-aged Malay girl resulting in his conviction under unfair and draconian laws of Sedition Act and Printing Presses and Publications Act, leading to his disqualification as elected MP for Kota Melaka, being jailed for 18 months in Kajang Prison, forfeit of his parliamentary pensions and being disqualified from standing for elective office for five years after his release from prison.- missing two general elections.
Guan Eng had also been detained under the Internal Security Act in the 1987 Operation Lalang dragnet – with both of us among the first to be detained but the last two of the Operation Lalang detainees to be released in April 1989.
It is highly presumptuous and intolerable for a politician, who could climb so high up the political ladder as to become a Cabinet Minister without having to make any personal sacrifices whatever in his political life, to cast aspersions against political leaders who have paid a very high price in terms of personal liberty for their political convictions.
DAP Perak Chairman, Ngeh Koo Ham, who is contesting both Bruas parliamentary and Sitiawan state assembly seat, is not in politics for the money!
I can vouch that Ngeh has given to the cause for a Malaysian Malaysia far more than he had received as Perak State Assemblyman for the past four years.
Can Ka Ting say that he had personally given more in terms of money in politics than he had received from his parliamentary and Ministerial allowances as in the case of Ngeh?
I deplore Ka Ting for such mischievous, malicious and irresponsible politicking. He should have the decency and humility to openly apologise for his misconduct.
While making baseless accusations against DAP leaders, Ka Ting should heed the rumble of discontent in MCA at his building up of a Ong Brothers political empire in the MCA over the bodies of MCA leaders, including Ministers and parliamentarians.
Two MCA Ministers had recently fallen by the wayside – Chan Kong Choy and Chua Soi Lek. Who is really responsible for their downfall?
Chan must be held responsible for the RM4.6 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal, the biggest financial scandal in the Abdullah premiership which is even bigger than Mahathir’s first mega financial scandal, the RM2.5 billion Bumiputra Malaysia Finance scandal 25 years ago!
Chan cannot escape accountability for the RM4.6 billion PKFZ scandal, but it is unfair if he is alone left to “eat dead cat” as the entire Cabinet, including Ka Ting, cannot shirk responsibility as well.
Is it true that Ka Ting is the reason why Chan dropped as a MCA candidate in the 2008 general election?
Who was responsible for the political “killing” of MCA National Vice Chairman and Health Minister, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek over the sex videotape scandal?
This is not an outside job but a MCA high-level operation. Was Ka Ting responsible for Chua’s removal from the MCA front-line of contenders for the top political post in MCA?
Be that as it may, Ka Ting should not try to distract attention from his MCA troubles by hurling defamatory allegations against DAP leaders.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 09.49
Why are talking about the Ongs? We want to hear how the DAP, PKR and PAS are going share power in govt. if they won this coming election?
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 10.58
Should be Chan Kong Choy.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 15.36
Needless to say, this OKT had nothing to say to the public except petty things, How are you going to rated this Top dog of MCA. Incompetent to fight for the rights of Malaysian except to siphon of sweat and hard earn money of the Rakyat. Do you still believe HIM?
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 29.34
“I take great offence at the highly defamatory allegation by MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting hurled at DAP leaders that they are greedy and selfish in contesting in two seats, parliamentary and state ….” KIT
Isn’t it not the constitutional right of the political party to field candidates for whatever seats it chooses? If that is called being “greedy” and “selfish” then let it be “greedy” and “selfish”. If he is concerned about greed ( i.e. greed for the spoils of political office), then he shoud direct MCA incumbents to step down and give way to contestants from the opposition.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 30.46
After all they have had their share. It is time for the others.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 31.02
OKT only have the courage to bark at DAP without logic and common sense. Does OKT or MCA dare to make any noise to UMNO regarding the plights of the community?? They will just nod their head and follow what UMNO decides. Believe OKT or MCA say is a vote for UMNO and we poor citizens will suffer more and more.
Look at Gerakan, they have to propose to UMNO to decide who should be the next CM of Penang. They do not have the power to decide on their own. How do we expect them to fight for our rights.
A vote for Gerakan is also a vote to UMNO.
Even MIC…… their own community is going against their leader SV…why? because he cannot do anything for the community but know how to say YES to UMNO only.
Come this March 8th 2008 , think carefully before you cast your vote….VOTE FOR CHANGE for a better tomorrow for all Malaysians.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 35.09
I am definitely disappointed with a MCA Party Prsident and a Chinese Federal Minister for such nonsensical comments. What has a Chinese got to gain by being a member of an opposition party, dummy? If I want to be rich I’ll join as member of a BN component party, and if I am never a candidate, I would have gained millions from favourable treatment in my business. I have been in business for 19 years and damn it, I know what I have been against within that period.
YB Lim KS, I prefer you don’t answer such degrading accusation but sometimes such comment really made me boil.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 36.11
Dogs will always remain dogs, toothless ones that is! These UMNO dogs will just wag their tails when their masters throw them a bone! What else can they do for the people, not to mention for the Chinese in Malaysia? They have sucked every drop of blood from the Chinese community and they still want to claim they represent the Chinese in Malaysia. They have thick skin!!!!
And at every election, they bring out the same stories over and over again. Their limits are really limited, only on Chinese education, threaten the Chinese with May 13 and petty issues of no importance. Do they dare tell the Chinese they will stand against UMNO to repeal the NEP? I am waiting for such a day. Dog, good dog!
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 36.35
They just simply create certain new issues to
divert people’s attention from those real facts
being pointed out by opposition parties.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 47.20
hurray okt implies he doesnt want any salary, perks, favours, alms,
lunches, dinner, food offerings, hamburgers, hampers and alike if he is reelected.
What a relief, all mca should follow their leader by example.
Now we can have some savings for the nation, we can have more if he sells his village house for the old folks nearby.
“in god we trust all others please pay cash” that includes okt,
errr sorry , boss your order is you want kuai tiew with and deep deep fried char siew poke in the back-ah, please pay first at the counter your meal will be serve.
who doesnt need money to survive, and why is he jealous about others in getting more entitlement , he also can do the same no body can stop him - what, errr…. except his master.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 50.26
Did this running-dog OKT dare to bark at AAB: Why are you so greedy holding on to 3 Cabinet posts, when you are sleeping even on one job?
MCA = Manapun Ciak All and its party members are only interested in sapu-ing $$, more $$.
Visit http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/78815 and see greedy MCA gold-diggers grabbing gold nuggets!
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 50.30
come on OKT. Are you trying to refer to BN UMNO Bodohwi who is sleeping with a few posts ? May be you are trying to slap bodohwi by using DAP as an excuse. I hope you this is true. May be bodohwi should thing that this is for him, sleeping and sucking with a few posts. Well said OKT.
GO GO GO DAP TO VICTORY.
GOD BLESS DAP.
February 28th, 2008 at 19: 54.03
So if DAP leaders contest in two seat is considered greedy, What is Chan Kong Choy? God of greed?
Take care of your own house before you come and talk about others! Chan Kong Choy is a disgrace to the Chinese Community.
At least Dr. Chua Soi Lek is gentleman enough saying, yes I am the one! How about you Kong Choy? Look down on you man!

///the highly defamatory allegation by MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting hurled at DAP leaders that they are greedy and selfish in contesting in two seats, parliamentary and state assembly, as wanting to collect two allowances of Member of Parliament and State Assemblyman.///
A person speaks his mind.; and the statement is a result of his thought. Ong ka Ting understands only the value called money, and hence he naturally connects position of MP to allowances. He knows nothing about the purpose of being a representative in a democracy, and to him a position is an employment, and having been in MCA politics, he equates position to making easy money better termed as corruption. It shows that money was the only thought in his mind when he decided to be a member of MCA. To him the reason why he offered himself first as the bag-carrier of Lim Leong Sik was to get to be near the position of power, to collect crumbs falling out of any deals the former MCA chief were engaged in. Since money is his pride, he was willing to be insulted when as a minister, and as President of MCA at that, to withdraw a memorandum which he considered proper to submit to PM AAB. In addition to collecting money, he occasionally took the opportunity to demonstrate that he was aware of the happenings in the country. On the memorandum episode, he thought it proper to submit a memorandum, since as would be expected, he was not articulate in the open meeting. Granted that it was his birth defects not of his choice for being slow in words, he should have bowed out of the position as the president as MCA. But because he is greedy for allowances and salary and other ‘power-sharing ‘ opportunities to make his family rich, he chose to stick to the position which he is ill equipped. Yes, his incapacity is not his choice, but certainly having submitted a memorandum, he have the choice to stick with it. He chose to withdraw the memorandum because he was to prove to PM AAB that he is a lapdog of AAB.
OKT showed AAB that for his greed of money that comes with the position as President of MCA and minister, he has sold the honour of his family, and as president of MCA, he is a disgrace to the Chinese. While OKT himself is greedy, he believed that all persons thought like him. It might be true of people within MCA, but it certainly is not true among members of the opposition parties, except those who refused to turn up at the nomination day.
When money is the only thought in OKT’s mind, he considered a few millions riggit handout to Chinese schools from hundreds of billion in budget are big deal for the Chinese community. He had also been sold by NEP that some corruption money sharing iamong MCA leaders are for the good of Chinese community. It is because of these selfish politicians which chose to remain in collusion with UMNO opportunists that race politics is alive and kicking in the country. How do we curse MCA for not separating from BN, and be a true NGO for self help to the Chinese communities? Because of MCA, the Chinese are said to be happy to be discriminated. Otherwise, why had MCA remained with BN when NEP was not terminated in 1990. Why has MCA not left the government when AAB announce the continuation of NEP till 2020, for the present.
Shame on you, MCA.
February 28th, 2008 at 20: 01.16
We should all be ashame of ourselves.
MCA people should think twice before point their finger outwards.
How many of ourselves are willing to take the route of Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Dato’ Seri Anwar?
Be jailed, sacrifice the health, family, relationships, income from jobs?
How many of us are willing to do that? Do they earn millions or billions? Even PAS’ spiritual leader leaves in a modest house unlike our Zakaria Istana.
Very obscene flaunting of wealth.
February 28th, 2008 at 20: 07.51
OMG, that’s all MCA candidates can do prior to the polling date!
So confident they will win on 8.3.08 that they are now busy singing karaoke songs (Lim Kee Moi, the “Karaoke YBâ€), grabbing gold nuggets, parading national badminton players who happen to be MCA members, and feeding people. Jolly good time, throwing easy money around! Easy come, easy go.

If the MCA members allows Ka Ting to build his political empire, it is their privilege. I can understand the difficulty that DAP faces to get credible candidates to stand in the elections. Which is why it is very important the opposition constituencies are serviced properly. No doubt parlimentary sittings are important but the constituents must not be neglected. So if any candidate is to win both state and parliment contests, effort must be undertaken to have the constituencies properly serviced.
February 28th, 2008 at 20: 19.30
I agree totally with Kit Siang. I truely honour & have great respect for you fighting for the Chinese community against the MCA. I pass by the MCA building today in Jalan Ampang, all I see was luxury cars i.e X5, XC90 Estima used for campaigning in the coming elections. What does this proofs ? Either theseMCA candidates are highly paid (which I doubt) or of course “makan” so much from the taxpayers money until they do not have a chance to be poor ever.

MCA is feeling the heat so much that it is taking a very defensive and desperate approach in putting up advertisements in the mainstream media daily. This gives me an excuse to boycott the Star which make one puke with the so called “positive” news of BN.

Friday Deadline! (Polling & Counting Agents)
Is this up on Malaysia Today & Malaysiakini? These guys really play dirty! They even tried to bring down PKR websites. Wonder if they would attack PAS & DAP websites next?!
from jelas.info:
Once again from YB Eli, sounds like EC suddenly put a new deadline for PACAs, this Friday!!
It’s a tight race, and they’re trying their darndest to make it hard for us.
All our campaign work goes to naught if on polling day there isn’t anything to stop the counter from declaring every opposition vote a ‘barisan’ vote and putting it into the wrong pile.
That’s where YOU come in
We’re working on ways to funnel PACA’s to candidates who need them. Just leave a comment with your e-mail and phone number here for starters!
Be a part of a better Malaysia, bring about the new dawn we need so badly.
from elizabeth wong:
Original post here.
Last night, we were informed that Polling and Counting Agents have to have their names, IC numbers in by this FRIDAY! Ah, satu lagi keputusan petir SPR….
We need a couple of hundred people who are willing to sacrifice just one day on March 8, to help ensure there won’t be any cheats or ghostly voters.
Please write to: if you wish to help!

Well, OKT is talking nuts! He can’t even manage his ministry properly! Majlis Perbandaran (under his care) everywhere always look for busy business area in major towns, which is always non-Malay area, identified a place, built retail shop lots for ‘crony’ Bumiputra businessmen, upset the traffic in that area, making things difficult for those existing non-Malay businesses. And there is no where these people can turn to because the officers don’t give a damn to non-Malays complaint.
Come on, OKT, please don’t keep lying! You’re just lucky to be there because of your apple polishing kongfu with LLS!

If OKT is brave, put Ong Ka Chuan back in Batu Gajah lah!!
This is what Chua Soi Lek said when he resign, “healthy politic by OKT”
Chan Kong Choy also no worry lah, cukup kenyang itu PKFZ ~ RM4.6 billion. Kalau kira 10 % pun cukup untuk 50 generasi!!

This shameless “chow kow” or running dog can lead a whole bunch of chinese running dogs, bribe them all immensely with our tax-money, and he can shamelessly accuse LKS and co. of being greedy. Don’t we all know that it is so easy to get rich in malaysia, even if you are a dungoo like “close-1-eye”, zzzzz-zam, and the self proclaimed minister of judges. I mean, they are so [deleted] STOOPID, yet they can be minister. But thats the yellow brick road to eternal wealth, just join BN, any party would do. You see how Kaeveas got kicked around like sepak takraw. Still, he is deeply in love with Abdullah Badawi,. So, you can understand why the chinese hate this running dog Kating so much.

OKT is good at licking UMNO for his on benefit only, he can’t even fight for Chinese Basic Rights, in Alor Star, we have a Chinese Primary School whereby the Parents have to pay at least RM100 to buy their own Chairs and Tables for their kids to study in the school !

Isn’t it obvious?
Both CKC and CSL are pain in the neck.
February 28th, 2008 at 22: 40.23
OKT and team are not representing the chinese. They only bowed down to the big bully of UMNO. If we give them a mandate, we will vomit blood in the next 5 years. Yes they received more from the govt than they gave out.
February 28th, 2008 at 22: 57.02
you vote to BN for the below development:
1-new toll
2-toll increase
3-cukai pintu dan tanah naik
4-tnb and water nak
5-barangan sundry naik
6-new built schooll and hospital with high construction cost
7-petrol naik
because BN= harga barang naik

Ong Ka Ting and his MCA are a bunch of running dogs. They sold out the chinese. Ong Ka Ting is just a spineless eunuch.
He is nowhere near LKS.
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 31.15
Who let the dogs out???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sExy0RhEbsc&feature=related
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 42.41
Greedy?
Really who is greedy?
Ong Kah Ting was reported to have come from a poor family if I am not mistaken.
Ask him to derclare his assets and income when he first joined politics (A) and also to declare his assets and income now (B).
A - B =$$$$$$$
So who is greedy?
The RAKYAT do not feel that the DAP candidates who stand in both state and parliamentary seats are greedy.
Let the RAKYAT decide.
I believe that this election will show again that the MCA and Gerakan have lost their mandate and moral right to claim themselves as the party to represent the non-malays especially the Chinese.
But, they will be kept in the cabinet by their UMNO taiko to be their running dogs and show how fair UMNO is.However, to keep their positions ,they will have to be the obedient running dogs.
So how can they voice out the concerns of the RAKYAT?
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 43.10
OKT should preach to his components party way before he can talk about opposition.
Koh Tsu Koon has been standing for both state and parliament seat for some time except this election.Sarawak and Sbah BN has many people standing for 2 seats. So OKT talk to them first. and most of the time this guys are not full time politician cos they are chasing contracts.
Get your own BN house in order OKT cos you just meludah ke langit and it fell right back on your face. malulah
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 48.26
Here is my voice out, there is a 8 addresses issue by DAP but I just again the option No 2, which stimulus plan for RM 40 billion to distribute.
What I say by short term, yes we all Chinese will have some gain but when you touch to long run there is not. Please use your mind to think if you are the fund manager or invester what would you do if you have RM 40 billion in hand.
If you use that money for investment I believe it can help generate more then you expected and it help for the country also.
Just my 2cents, actually I really not like LKS leadership, as I don’t even see he have the capable to bring DAP into higher ground.
No doubt there is so many negative influence I will still vote for the DAP.
You have my count.
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 51.49
How dare you Ka Ting for accusing DAP contestants for being greedy. The raison d’etre of MCA is greed. So, for goodness sake please don’t insult the Chinese of this country. You and your party are despicable. What has MCA contributed the last fifty years other than our continued erosion as equal citizens of this country? What has MCA leadership done other than colluding at the expense of Chinese dignity and equal representation in the Government? What has the MCA leadership concerned with other than longing for some scum to be thrown at them?
This nation should have been a nation based on equal citizenship if not for your party’s betrayal and collusion with UMNO to exclude the progressive ideals and intent of PAP when Singapore was part of Malaysia. Please don’t forget, some of us can still remember what MCA leadership said about PAP when PAP was fighting for its life during the last hours in Malaysia. This nation would have been a nation where every community, including the Malays, was able to feel proud and self assured of its future if not for the third world tribal leadership like MCA and those in UMNO.
Look, Ka Ting, you have no moral decency to lecture on greed. MCA and other BN parties are the epitome of that. If you can’t fight for our rights, let others who are willing (including those sacrificing their personal liberty) to do so. Time is running out. So just SHUT THAT STUPID MOUTH OF YOURS, KA TING.
February 28th, 2008 at 23: 52.48
Aiyoh, the MIC ad isn’t threatening anyone, people should learn how to read the small print. Bunch of lies though. Their argument seems to be “we’ve failed for 50 years, so please vote for us, so we can continue to fail”
February 29th, 2008 at 00: 03.11
Wow, this has really touched the raw nerves of DAP supporters. May be the only safe haven for OngKT is not anywhere nearer than Timbuktu or Tierra del Fuego.
February 29th, 2008 at 00: 05.44
how about Abdullah Badawi? He’s very very greedy. he was the PM, the finance minister & internal security minister. can he handle all his resposibility well? i bet not!
how come Ong Ka Ting doesn’t dare to criticise him?
February 29th, 2008 at 00: 13.32
Hello! limkamput!
Stop shouting!! It is not like anybody can hear you. It is not like OKT visits this blog to read your postings!
February 29th, 2008 at 00: 17.12
“So, for goodness sake please don’t insult the Chinese of this country.” limkamput
Shouldn’t you be saying, “…don’t insult us” rather than “the Chinese of this country”. Why use third party plural??
February 29th, 2008 at 00: 30.36
Yes, papi chai, you are one of OKT’s mah chai, so you are reading what I wrote. That is very good, have you reported to him yet.
papi chai says: Shouldn’t you be saying, “…don’t insult us†rather than “the Chinese of this countryâ€. Why use third party plural??
Because MCA represents the Chinese in BN. Of course, this obviously excludes you. Nobody wants you, including the rotten eggs in BN. Imagine how stinking you are!!!

Mr. Ong,
I for one would like to know why were you and the whole of the MCA was quiet when the MP of Jerai Hj Badriddin said in Parliament “ Malaysia ini negara Islam. You tak suka, you keluar dari Malaysiaâ€. Is not the priority of an MP to serve, protect the rights of those he/she represents? If your answer is no, then what is your duty? If your answer is yes, then why not one of the MCA MPs voiced their discontent. (That is presuming that they were discontent.) YOUR SILENCE WAS DEAFENING.

OKT’s remarks show how shallow his mind is. He is the best example of ‘first world infrastructure,third world mentality.’
Why didn’t he attack UMNO which also puts some of its candidates to lust for both the parliamentary and SA seats ?
A Malay word ‘terdesak’ is the best description of his situation now.
He knows not champion the cause of the people. He never suffers politically.
Who are greedy? The elites of BN. Who has despoiled of the wealth of the people.? The elites of BN. So, who are greedy?

I received an anonymous sms, requesting all Malaysian Indians to ignore Dato Pradip Kumar, president of MAICCI’s call to reject all BN candidates in the coming general election. The sms also called him traitor while asking the PM to remove him from PEMUDAH.
I have not checked the validity of the sms but if it’s true, my salute goes to Dato Pradip.

okt was discipline teacher in a school i was told, well person with legalist sentiments i supposed, but he cannot give respect to the very person who stick his neck out for the chinese community and the oppressed society members.
What the hell he is barking about his tong bao.
Assume position as representative of chinese malaysian, Talk about chinese and all things chinese but cannot respect a chinese leader and elder.
the main stream chinese community has no need to punish him, his current master will do that for his ancestors.
If he is feed up with his master, and wish to leave, someone help him begged the return of his beans bag else his mother will wept til no tears and he ‘ll be forever a eunuch in his after life.
if he is sincere for chinese tong bao, he should take lead resign from the mca club, and return the clubship to his master. let his master have the empty house.
He can purpose destroy his voting ticket on polling day and show it in the media for all to see if he is so righteous for the chinese tongbao.
And if all his club members are so respectful and loyal to hsi leadership they may do so too, and for once for your own sake stop staying below the balance scale.
Join the opposition and sincerely serve the people and make that change for our children.
Vote for DAP.

“I take great offence at the highly defamatory allegation by MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting hurled at DAP leaders that they are greedy and selfish in contesting in two seats, parliamentary and state assembly, as wanting to collect two allowances of Member of Parliament and State Assemblyman.”

What is the status of Malaysian Chinese today? As far as I concern there is nothing that I can be proud of but more and more school dropouts, and youngsters are joning the rank of gangsters and drug addicts, so that’s is why MCA is also nothing to me. If I have a chance to meet Ong Ka Ting, I am going to give him a piece of my mind, and I hope god will forgives me if I lost control and slapped him twice on the face, left and right. Was there anything more we can say about this man?
February 29th, 2008 at 01: 54.55
OKT no brain, we no need to bother whatever he said.MCA did not have candidate contesting in two seats, parliamentary and state assembly cos’ they need more time to plan for corruption.as compare to the allowances just a peanut to them.
His brother OKC also blind,said that Kinta Valley no develop because of all parliment seat are won by DAP.In fact over past 20 years we can’t see much developing in Kinta Valley since MB Ramli dynasty, now Tajul Rosli also the same. All useless leadership,In fact whole Perak state economic progress very slow. Most of the people from Perak working in others state or in Singapore.
People called Ipoh as “Dead City” now.OKC wake up mind!

How many Malaysian Chinese has to leave their families, wifes and children to work in overseas? How many Malaysian Chinese now are in Singapore, how may of them are hard laborers? What is the future of all this Malaysian Chinese? How many poor Chinese are in Malaysia? Of the Chinese in Malaysia, how many more are gangsters, drug peddlers and addict, criminals?
February 29th, 2008 at 02: 28.11
“MCA and Umno are political parties of the same standing and seniority. The only people we play bodyguard to are the Malaysian Chinese.” Ong Ka Ting
I would like to invite Ong Ka Ting to JB causeway and see for himself how Malaysian Chinese make a living, it starts as early as 4am. But lucky we have Singapore, very lucky indeed, so many don’t mind waking up at 4am and work in the factories. But Singapore is not our country, one day when they replaces the manpower with robots, what is the use of Malaysian Chinese?
I think is ok Ong Ka Ting, Malaysian Chinese can take care of themselves.
February 29th, 2008 at 02: 32.50
I think DAP leaders in Johor is also so out of touch with the locals and migrants there. Uncle Kit, you should look into it. Change the leaders if you have to.
February 29th, 2008 at 03: 22.35
Aiyoh, Ong Chow Ka aka Ong Ka Ting where will fight for Chinese community? As long as $$$ enters his pocket, to hell with Chinese people.
I am pretty sure Ong Chow Ka is what he is today because he knows how to polish and $uck the right nuts to get or achieve such success!
Ong Chow Ka has not gone the hardship YB Kit had gone through.
Hey you all think Uncle Kit got nothing else better to do meh? Fight for the rights of Malaysians. Chiak Pa Siew Eng meh do such work?
Is Uncle Kit highly Paid? No and he is still fighting for a better Malaysia and if the RAKYAT can’t see this good quality, then i would say you deserve to be what you are today and dont blame others for what you are today!!!
Just a food of thought, imagine Uncle Kit is with BN now. You know how much $$$ he will be making? Just think for yourself!
Why Uncle Kit is not with BN? He is fighting for all of US (Malaysians) for a better Malaysia!!!
So please dont sleep anymore! Wake up from your Mat Jenin dreams! ! !
February 29th, 2008 at 04: 43.51
Seems Ong Ka Ting is ran out of ideas to attack DAP.
There is no law to ban a person to contest in state and parliament seats, what is the fuss?

My God, Ong Ka Ting should take a long hard look at himself in the mirror before he opened that slimy mouth and spewed those foul words!
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the dirtiest of them all?
Would Ka Ting ever have become a millionaire if he had remained as a schoolteacher scuttering around the basketball court in his shorts? OK, perhaps I am presumptuous. I am judging OKT is a millionaire just by observving his lifestyle. Perhaps, the slam-dunk reality is, many times over if we have access to his income tax records. So, OKT, let’s start at the beginning and with the first basic: do you deny that you became a millionaire because you were furstly a poilitician from MCA?
Secondly, can you cite just one MCA poltician who has gone to jail because he fought for the rights of the peoplle? I can think of a few who have been charged with cheating the people and many more who stole from the people and let off the hook!
Come, come, Ka Ting my boy, talk some sense as teachers often say, don’t talkkok.
February 29th, 2008 at 05: 44.55
So is OKT also hitting at umno which has vying for 2 seats as being greedy?
February 29th, 2008 at 06: 02.12
Majority of non Malays does not rely on government assistance, handouts and welfare to make a living and raise a responsible family under a difficult and discriminative environment and worked very hard as INDIVIDUALS to contribute significantly to the economy and country.
Their basic rights as hard working, responsible and resourceful citizens are neglected.
February 29th, 2008 at 06: 22.04
…….many are made to look for opportunity elsewhere or sent their kids overseas for a better future living their loved ones behind for fear of discrimination destroying their careers and lives and aggression, intimidation and may be violent from some politicians.
No leader/s expressed their outrage at this gross discrimination destroying innocent lives and the totally unacceptable and dangerous behaviors of some politicians doing enormous permanent and long term damage to a multi racial and religious country.
February 29th, 2008 at 06: 38.14
Why is financial assistance given only right before elections for all the Chinese organizations and Chinese schools ? Why does Radio Television Malaysia give more priority to Indian related programmes after the Hindraf rally ? This shows that without people’s power, Chineses, Indians and all non Malays would not be cared for. When the MCA fights for the Chinese, it is with the blessing of UMNO. When the MIC fights for the Indians, it is with the blessing of UMNO. If UMNO does not bless, both MCA and MIC will be just white elephants. If UMNO declares Malaysia to be fully Islamised and Malayised, you can bet there will be MCA and MIC members fleeing Malaysia. At this rate Malaysians are going, we are all heading towards a kind of Malaysia that is something like Kelantan now, the Chinese Muslims in Northern China and Indian Muslims in India. Both MCA and MIC are giving way to UMNO without them recognizing it.

OKT, is there a rule to stop a candidate for contesting a Parliementary and Stae seat . if not , greediness is not exist. OKT should know MCA has been greedy for the last 50yrs to betray the Chinese communty hiding under the sarong of Umno .Let me remind OKT that MCA has no guts to confront the Umno knowing that they will loose their businesses and other licenses.
So who is greedy?

In one ceramah Anwar Ibrahim brushed off Ong as a ’small guy’ and “the weakest President MCA ever had.”
He ridiculed him for not even able to stand up to Hishammudin’s threat against the Chinese with his keris. He crticised Ong for being subservient to UMNO.
“I challenge him to debate with me. I give him 30 minutes and I take just 20 minutes”.
He was responding to some allegations Ong had hurled against Anwar.

“Time is running out. So just SHUT THAT STUPID MOUTH OF YOURS, KA TING.” By limkamput
Well advised! He’s good for nothing except apple polishing! What a pity for MCA members, having a boss like that, came in with a ‘diamond crown’, never gone through any hardship! Good actor, his only hardship which he is so proud of is riding bicycle in the new village. Por-lah, I rode 24km everyday to and fro to school when I was small!
Its real big regret that MCA is filled with all apple polishers, waiting for their turn to get some rub from UMNO or hu-ha-hu-ha from Tai-Ko like L.H.Leong! Shame on present MCA!
February 29th, 2008 at 08: 59.14
They are an embarrassment and traitors to the Chinese in Malaysia. It is principally because of them that we have lost our rights and opportunities. With them, who need enemies. Our rights will be taken away, with or without them.

The beginning of the “ONG DYNASTY” in MCA is taking shape with OKT pushing his brother up the heirarchy! So how many MCA members feel this is right? Will he be able to convince MCA members that he has done the right thing? Besides, his brother had lost in the last elections and is now seeking election in a “safe area”. If at all MCA members had opened their eyes, they can see what OKT is up to and should immediately flee MCA!!!!
February 29th, 2008 at 09: 07.12
YB., there is no need to talk about corruption amongst BN members, they ARE corruption. Every Federal minister will retire with millions if not billions in overseas banks. Declaration of personal assets is bull-shitting Just to bluff the kampong folks and those blinded chinamen who listen to MCA_GERAKAN bull shitting.
I am sure many of the so-called Chinese leaders have enough assets overseas to qualify for PR in Australia, Canada, and what have you? Even ‘local’ players like Zakaria are worth millions and they won’t pay any tax! So if we still have A…H… who still vote for such shysters to represent them in the State Assemblies and Parliament, they deserve to ‘pay’ for it, and they should stop voicing their frustrations ever!!

Although Abdullah Badawi sought to consolidate his UMNO power base by attempting to put his own acolytes in place, dropping some old bulls from the battle, other attempts to drop state warlords have backfired. In the northern state of Perlis, supporters of the incumbent chief minister resigned en masse, locking up operations rooms and refusing to campaign for the party.

With most non Malays being independent and resourceful, the least the non Malay BN politicians could do is to protect their basic rights as citizens from gross discrimination, aggression, threat and intimidation from some dangerous politicians to their sense of security and well being, prevent religious fundamentalism and extremism, fight for a fair and healthy environment for their childrens to grow and contribute to the country and etc… but they have grossly neglected their responsibility to play their part in a multi racial and religious country.

Unscrupulous BN MPs out for gain - do anything, say anything just to win and make money. (some do work hard) but ultimately are puppets in Parliament (cannot vote with their own conscience).
Jailed a hero (defending the dignity of an under-aged Malay girl) and set free the criminal - BN has plenty of style; past - Mahathir’s style - now we have Badawi/Khairy style.
OKT is no different - give him a TKO in the GE.

If the opposition were given more seats in the parliament and fully balance, the ruling goverment will no longer have the right to delay or stop issuing funds to them to serve the people.
Unlike the barisan component parties, they’re given more than what they want but for the opposition mostly have to fork out their very own money to do that. Najib is too lucky already!
Stop those hanky pankies and vote for more for the opposition this time around.
The Barisan scale is tilted on the other side and we need to balance it after all these years.

Use the internet and emails to also reach out to many people as possible, other than the current ceramahs.
The media, be it TV, radio or local papers seems to be fully supporting BN and suddenly those news papers that were critisising certain BN leaders previously are now critising the opposition to the maximum without mercy… and at the same time uplifting sky-high those dumb BN leaders whom they were critisizing before.
So BN has 100% advantage from the mainstream media as compared to the opposition and the other effective way for the opposition to reach out to voters, other than the ceramah campaigns, is via internet / emails.
February 29th, 2008 at 11: 19.28

Most of the time they’re trying the brainwashing tactics.
Keep on thinking about the rising crime rate, the lies from the PM mouth,the money that is being wasted, the rising of goods and petrol, and other kind of stuff that have happened during these four years period.

Ask the MCA, Gerakan,PPP or the MIC to speak out thru their own self consience.
On what sort of aspect do they represent the Chinese or the Indian community. When the Umno Youth hurt our feelings and never even apologise, what did they do. They keep mum!
When we say something wrong to them, we are threatened with sorts of action and what did they do? All of our pride have been washed out into the drain and still they’re many so called members of those parties running around proudly. Even in the parliament, the opposition is not spared. We’re even told to get out of malaysia when we oppose of certain things. The Barisan component parties are not representing either one of us.
They’re just representing themselves and their famillies.

MCA works for the people? For every tax payer’s money that flows back to the rakyat via these political parties, how much have it been siphoned off? Is it not a MCA MInister that approved the PKFA scandal which cost the taxpater RM4.7 billion, Mr ONg.
And you MCA corrupts glorified a paltry total sum of RM2.5 million for Chinese schools as goodies for this election and that is only RM100,000 per school over 4 years or equivalent to RM25,000 per year. Compared to the huge RM4.7 billion milked from us, you called that working for malaysians.
People like u including your brother has no conscience and history will remember MCA as the running dog in exchange for the ringgit sign.

OKT, cukup lah….sudah jiak so much, else get choked and may have to vomit out later….OKT, you did that to CKC and CSL, one day, you will have to pay for it when your machai do it to you.
Maybe, OKT think that he built the empire with your brother getting into safe dewan, become miniter too and nobody can disturb him in the future.

This OngKaGoodForNothing is talking c**k. He has the guts to claim that he and his Umno master are of same standing. MCA dog is forever MCA dog and always obey his Umno master’s command.
MCA claimed achievement in setting up UTAR and TAR College. If the BN practice true meritocracy in the last 50 years do we need these two institutions?
Former primier Dr. M had mentioned that the chinese communitiy paid the most income tax. It is the duty of the elected government to provide education, healthcare and development to the tax payers. Why MCA acted as second income tax department for the chinese community to collect money to put up these institutuions?
February 29th, 2008 at 12: 35.38
Time for MCA to wake up.Don’t cheating chinese anymore.(OKT MUST SEE). Listen, most Malaysian chinese hate you MCA. cos all MCA leaders dare not bark umno and prefer to be runner dog.Most chinese supports DAP.

To Ong Ka Ting & all at MCA,
Why dont we have a Ong Ka Ting vs Lim Kit Siang public debate for the rakyat??
Make it a 2 hour debate. To balance things a little, Ong Ka Ting can speak for 1.5 hours. Lim Kit Siang just need 30 minutes.
February 29th, 2008 at 12: 45.01
Ong Ka Ting is not called Ong Kow Tow or Kowtow Ong for nothing.
Nuff said. your MCA infomercials on TV/Astro/Radio/Newspapers make me wanna puke.
You can spend a fortune doing all these,but they are not going to make me change my mind.
My vote..together with my family and friends are for the Barisan Rakyat

Can you declare all the money made whilst in MCA, (under your family, friends, proxies’ name?
Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?
February 29th, 2008 at 13: 08.55
By allowing a crook Ling Hee Leong to contest in Gopeng, the MCA clearly has no interests of the Chinese community in mind. If Ling wins, he and the MCA will be forever beholden to the UMNO masters because of the thick file currently with Badawi.

Tell me ONG KA TING, MR. MINISTER SIR, what have you done towards stopping the continual institutionalisation of discrimination being carried out in this country, discrimination such as:-
(1) Racial discrimination in the appointment and promotion of employees in public funded bodies (means funded by taxea of which a large part comes from non MALAY contribution), resulting in these becoming almost mono-raced bodies (particulrly so in their top strata). These bodies include the civil service,police,army and various semi and quasi government bodies like the 10 public universities whereby all vice-chancellors are Malays!
(2) Barring of non Malays from tenders and contracts controlled directly or indirectly by the government.
(3) Imposition of compulsory price discounts and quotas in favour of Malays in housing projects.
(4) Imposition of compulsory share quotas for Malays in non-Malay companies.
(5) Blanketbarring of non-Malay to publicly funded academic institutions.
(6) Completely lop-sided allocation of scholarships and seats of learning in clearlyunreasonable proportions that reflect racial discriminations.
(7) Almost zero participation in the oil industry (in Petronas).
(8) The Judiciary an important keeper of fair play and justice, I am not sure whether there are any non-Malay judges any more in the Supreme Court.
Our Constitution provides only one class of citizenship and all citizens are equal before the law. The presence of Article 153 does not alter the fact as it is meant only to protect the Malays from being ’squeezed’ by other races at the time of independence by allowing the reservation of reasonable quotas on certain sections of national life.This special position and not special privileges or special rights of the Malays was put in precisely because of the backward educational and financial positions of Malays at the time of Independence and this position was also to be reviewed in 15 years time (1972) as a gentlemens’ agreement amongst our founding fathers. However , this Constitution has now been hijacked thro decades of hegemony of political power by UMNO of which you, your MCA,MIC,Gerakan,SUPP condone in and may even have contributed to it, resulting in the virtual monopoly of the public sector by a single race. the ensuing racism,corruption and corrosion of our democratic institutions have brought serious retrogression to our nation building process in terms of national unity, discipline,morality and competiveness of our people.
At this critical juncture where nations in this region and around the world are urgently restructuringand shaping up to cope with globilizationour nation stagnatesin a cesspool that has created thro decades of misrule of which you and your MCA has played a part in it of no small measure.
Unless urgent reforms are carried out,Malaysia is in for serious troubles in the days ahead

Ka Ting, Ka Chuan,Ling Hee Leong, KTK of the Gerakan and Samy Velu of MIC are nothing but rabid dogs of the UMNO barking as loud as possible that only mongrels are capable of. When they feel cornered and all their wrong doings exposed, they just can’t take it. So they hit out at anybody just to look good to their followers.
They are the shameless, greedy and selfish ones who DO NOT CARE TWO HOOTS FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. These won’t hesitate to sell whatever little rights the Chinese and Indians have for money, power, useless titles and of course for the pleasure of sucking up to UMNO.
Mr. Lim, Just ignore these worthless and ungrateful scum.
February 29th, 2008 at 13: 44.05
Malaysian with love,
Politician talk a lot and promise sky high things. Both parties hurling abuses to each others. Who is good and who is bad is not the issues.

Name me which goverment agencies is not taking bribe…….???? NONE IS THE ANSWER…right or wrong??

Come, OKT, if you are one who truly claim that you represent the Chinese community, I want to see you stand for election in any of the DAP constituencies. I am sure DAP would not mind putting a junior member to contest against you. You know what, we’ll show you the door in double quick time. Many Chinese do not want you and disdain you like a bucket of s***. So stop claiming something which you are not. To me and many others, you are totally a nobody and a non entitious character seeking fame and fortune in the BN, and that will be your downfall.
February 29th, 2008 at 13: 54.27
Frankly speaking, my family and I are glad Ling Jr is standing in our constituency. As MCA members, we have been loyal to the party and BN in the previous elections.
On 8th March, the four votes that my family carry and the votes of other ppl who had voted for BN, will go to PKR’s Dr. Lee Boon Chye.
My way of taking revenge for losing money on Omega way back in 1997. Our way of expressing our happiness towards PKR’s manifesto. May GOD correct the wrongs that have been going on in Msia.

In all ceramah, DAP and opposition speakers must announce to all Malaysians that AAB is a LIAR!
Fact #1: AAB lied about the date when parliament is to be dissolved. On 12.2.08, AAB said “parliament will not be dissolved tomorrowâ€. On 13.2.08, the Star (a BN controlled newspaper) screamed: “Parliament will not be dissolved todayâ€. Then on 13.2.08 after 12 noon, Badawi, without any embarrassment, declared to the world the dissolution of parliament.
What the F, ini pun nak tipu!
Of course, there are many more lies.
A country is judged by its leaders. Malaysia was led by a big liar. Are we proud of this? Do we still want a pathological liar, in the Emperor’s New Clothes, to lead the nation?
In all ceramah, DAP and opposition speakers must announce to all Malaysians that AAB is a LIAR!

Malaysian Politics 101: What to do when encountering a BN candidate
1. When a BN candidate meets you, say in a kopitiam or market, don’t avoid him.
2. It’s OK to shake his hand.
3. Just say you will vote for BN and demand from him an ‘ang pow’ or sewing machine, if you like.
4. If he gives you the ‘ang pow’, open it and check how much. (If possible, record it: photograph or video.) Then you say loudly so that all around you can hear: “Aiyah, so little money one! Need more money lah.â€
Keep the money so that you can donate it to DAP/PKR/PAS later.
5. Then ask the BN candidate: What do you think, can we trust AAB as our PM? Is AAB a liar? Why did AAB lie to the world about the dissolution of the last parliament? Do you agree with the decision for police to use water cannon and tear gas against unarmed citizens who wish to have a peaceful public rally? etc. etc.
6. Finally, say goodbye to the BN candidate and tell him that after talking with him, you prefer to vote for CHANGE and will be voting for DAP/PKR/PAS.

I don’t care what MCA or Gerakan anjing said, I will vote for DAP!

Dear YB Lim,
Why no ceramah at Batu Kawan?
Please come to Batu Kawan for ceramah, Malaysians are waiting for you! I Love DAP!
February 29th, 2008 at 15: 32.00
Dear bohliao and all,
Would it not be better that we take the money ,thank the BN agents loudly so that everybody can hear,tell him that we will vote for the BN and then do otherwise at the ballot box?
Money can then be donated to whoever you like.
Let them think they have won your votes.Then let them wake up yo reality on 9th March.
February 29th, 2008 at 15: 34.01
That is more like it! Take whatever they give you. We deserve more then what they give, but oh well just take….. Vote otherwise…!
February 29th, 2008 at 15: 39.39
To all Penagites,
The MCA and Gerakan can still claim they represent the non-Malays because they are still holding so many seats all these years.
If after this election ,they are still holding many seats ,they will still claim they represent the Chinese and non-Malays.
Wipe out MCA and Gerakan!!!!!!.T
Then ,they cannot talk big anymore.Force them to admit they have lost the mandate of Heaven and the mandate of the Chinese and non-Malays.
Hor e-lang kam thiam la!
February 29th, 2008 at 15: 41.41
This OKT is talking through his nose, who does not need money to survive and what is the salary compared to what he can get from his master. Instead he should do something positive like asking his master to let MCA have the portfolio of either one of these ministeries, Finance, Commerce, Foreign Affairs, Defence, Home Affairs or Education then I will consider voting for MCA but this will never happen.

“k1980 Says:
Today at 13: 37.50 (1 hour ago)
Which of the following crooks can hold his head high and say, “I have made my community proud of meâ€
Tun Tan Cheng Lock (27 February 1949 to March 1958)
Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu (March 1958 to July 1959)
Dr. Cheah Toon Lok (acting) (July 1959 to November 1961)
Tun Tan Siew Sin (November 1961 to April 1974)
Tan Sri Lee San Choon (April 1974 to March 1983)
Datuk Dr. Neo Yee Pan (acting) (March 1983 to November 1985)
Tan Koon Swan (November 1985 to September 1986)
Tun Dr. Ling Liong Sik (September 1986 to May 2003)
Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting (May 2003 to Present)”
I think the above statement is highly uncalled for. To call someone like Tun Tan Cheng Lok, a crook, is to show great disrespect to a man who tried to bring acceptance of Malayan Chinese into the mainstream of society. We must remember that during those days, many of the Chinese in the country did not have Malayan citizenship. The efforts of Tun Tan were instrumental in ensuring that the Constitution recognised the rights of many Malayan-born Chinese people such as mother tongue education and citizenship. He was not perfect of course, but if we were to just call him a crook because we do not agree with his political philosophies is the first step of a dishonest society.
Lim Chong Eu also should not be deemed as a crook, although his bringing Gerakan into the BN was a disgrace. He lost power in MCA after he fought with UMNO over the number of MCA (Chinese) candidates in the 1959 elections. Under his stewardship as Chief Minister, Penang was the jewel in the crown of Malaysia and he pioneered the concept of attracting foreign investors into the State to set up operations. A concept that was later taken by Mahathir on a Federal level… without acknowledgement to Dr. Lim of course. Was bringing Gerakan into the BN a terrible mistake? Yes, as we can see now Gerakan has lost all revelance and without someone like Chong Eu is all but a punching bag for UMNO. Was he flawed? Definitely. Was he a crook? No.
Tan Koon Swan - Well, this one was definitely a crook. Just ask the courts in Singapore. Does Pan El ring any bells?
February 29th, 2008 at 16: 10.54
Tun Lim Chong Eu - I do have some respect for him.However,bringing Gerakan to BN, I think, was a mistake.
Instead of being developed into a truly national multi-race party, its has become restricted to Penang because it went under the umbrella of BN.
Its growth was curtailed and has generally degenerated into a mainly one race party with its strength only in Penang.
It can only degenerate further.
As for Tun Tan Cheng Lock, I am too young to know what really happened.But I do understand that many Chinese were dissappointed with him.
February 29th, 2008 at 16: 59.34
OKT,
I have few question for u to answer :
1. As tax payers, why the Chinese being denied their right for Chinese school development fund from the government. Instead we have to dig our own pocket. why?
2. Why are MCA has such low self esteem that u are damn satisfied with allocation of only 4 minister posts. If MCA is ranked at par with UMNO, u should aspire to become even a PM. After all, u are also a rakyat of Malaysia.
3. Why there are not even a single non-malay CEO in GLCs, public Uuniversity, Bank Negara. Are we not qualified or just not being treated as a rakyat.
4. Ling Liong Sik asked the Chinese to behave like a minority few years back and face the reality. What is u understanding of this statement. Are we Chinese all idiots.
5. Tan Koon Swan set up Koperasi Mulpha and resulted millions ringgit of hard earned money of the Chinese community washed down to the drain and someone’s pocket. Isn’t it greed.
6. Your brother, OKC said he failed to bring development to Kinta Valley as he was not elected in 2004 GE. What does it imply? A rakyat will not entitle to any development if he don’t vote for the ruling party, what kind of healthy politics MCA or BN is preaching? Inciting fear, devide and rule or u treat the rakyat as dog? (u get bone only if u bark)
7. MCA maintain their influence or power in all rural village by handing out goodies to a bunch greedy chaps and make them village head and councilors. And they control the approvals of a various matter such as land, housing , licence etc together with other BN chaps. Now, what u call this if not corruption.
8. Did the government made any BN’s MP to submit their account on the RM5 million constituency development fund for audit? What kind of transparency is this?
9. Why do we Chinese have to bend to such a low esteem that we need to kow tow to UMNO if we are EQUAL ? Why? Why?
Don’t ask me but answer your ancestor instead if u are honourable and sincere. Remember , remember the 4th precept since u claim to be a Buddhist.
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 03.51
Many people were disappointed in Tan Cheng Lok because they felt he did not fight hard enough for the Chinese. But we have to understand that the situation at the time called for a give and take approach. The Chinese accepted issues such as the National Language and the Rulers, while the Malays accepted the granting of citizenship to the Chinese.
Of course these days it is UMNO takes takes takes, and everyone else gives.
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 06.18
K1980,
My opinion, your list is a bit too far. Tan Kon Suan- he is remosrseful, I think. Forgive him.
Tun Ling LS, he never show any regret. He intensifies it with his son’s name.
The present OKT - his crying face tells all.
Tan Siew Sin, Lee San Choon - I think they did their best. (Just opinion). Neo YP, well he didn’t start any dynasty. Hs brother is my close friend - poor like me.
Max2811 - Omega Holdings - are you sure Ling & Sons the schemer behind this? They are related to someone behind the scheme but I don’t think they are the the main players. However I agree that your vote should go to DAP or PKR!
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 28.56
Saudara kit,
Forget about MCA or Gerakan or BN for that matter.
Just concentrate on winning as many Parliament seats possible.
Those in this blog know of your sacrifice to this nation.
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 36.51
Tan Siew Sin - The man who did the most to break up Malaysia.
Lee San Choon - Mr. Piggy. Between him, Neo Yee Pan and Ling Liong Sik - they form a frightfully ugly bunch. But well, credit to him, he was the only MCA leader with the guts to fight in a DAP stronghold - Seremban vs Dr. Chen Man Hin.
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 44.34
“Many people were disappointed in Tan Cheng Lok because they felt he did not fight hard enough for the Chinese.” - mycroft
Nobody has ever fought hard for the Chinese in Malaysia as they were never once united under any circumstances or any other struggles. No Chinese has ever suggest or say, let’s fight for a separate homeland in this Malay penisular, and from the Malacca days we know that the Chinese are all for racial integration as it was a proven fact with the existense of Baba.
The Chinese know the only way to go foward is total integration with other races but what they didn’t know at that time is not all people want integration, some people wants to be special. At that time who would have thought we have to fight so hard to be call Malaysians? Then it was also totally unthinkable that living together would be so hard.
It was always the question of interest. Self interest vs. group interest and all that. But ever since the day of Yap Ah Loy, Ghee Hin and Hai San, the MPAJA and communist party up till now we still have many factions with different ideologies, but never once one of these claimed to represent the Chinese except MCA.
As far as I concern there is no culprit, if there to be one then it must be everyone.
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 48.17
Come on Mr. Moderator, my comment is ‘armless!
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 52.09
But the bottom line is this, DAP is not fighting for the Chinese, DAP is fighting for all Malaysians, if it is worth fighting hard, this it is!
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 52.23
Chan Kong Choy must have been very tired of political dreams, and resorted to go back to his ??? (for those who can read Mandarin), because at least the world out there is not as cruel as in real life. But what about those problems left behind the Department?
Economic growth of 7 over percent may also be misleading, because deducting from a high percentage of inflation, it amounts to nothing at all! When we talk about less than 3 percent growth in the western countries, we should not forget that they keep the inflation very low indeed!
Hope that DAP will perform well in this coming Election, and don’t forget that it is the people who is the most important in the eyes of a good politician. Abraham Lincoln is one of them. Hope that more will be out from DAP!
February 29th, 2008 at 17: 54.50
The anger and the discontentment expressed here is galringly loud. Unless the Malaysin Chinese have the willingness and capabilty to do what the Hindraff Indians did, and unite with them the we cannot expect our constitutional rights be given in a silver plate.
Winning a handful of seats alone will not allow the racial minorities to be given their rights. In the minds of UMNO elitists MCA equates to access to money and bussiness opportunities for some of the Malays politicians and the MCAChinese have perfected the art of ALI BABA system. The Chinese are satisfied with economic opportunities. They are not interested in the human rights or birth rights. The mind set of the Chinese has to change.
February 29th, 2008 at 18: 02.27
“MCA and Umno are political parties of the same standing and seniority. The only people we play bodyguard to are the Malaysian Chinese.†Ong Ka Ting
So, Ong ka Ting knows very well that the position of Chinese in the country is weak and vulnerable. But MCA plays ‘bodyguard’ in the form of blinkers so that Chinese do not see the truth, and MCA can lead them to obey submissively to UMNO. When the group suffer together, they have company.
Ong Ka Ting does not realise that Chinese want to be equal citizens and do not want to depend on bodyguard, like Malays depend on crutches. It is because MCA could not stand up as a political party to reason with UMNO on justice and civility, and submit to UMNO that the right of the Chinese community is a reflection of the ratio of Chinese in the population. Chinese ended up with partial rights as Malaysians. It is because MCA could not fight for what had been agreed to by the founders of the Alliance members that the rights of Chinese as citizens are slowly being deprived.
We are realistic that UMNO might not agree to MCA demand. But MCA has the right to leave BN when UMNO did not honour the agreement. NEP was forced down the throats of the BN component parties because Tun Razak blackmailed them with the threat of not reconvening the parliament after the state of emergency had been declared. But MCA should have demanded that NEP be terminated in 1990; a review be made to evaluate the infamous 30% target with proper statistical methodology. The 30% target had already been reached in 1990 if the government did not lie with statistics. Had there been any gap from the target, Petronas funds could have been used to purchase equity capital in limited companies, and be held in trust for Malays. Other NEP programme should cease from 1990.
MCA obviously did not demand a thorough review because the ministers were greedy for allowances, and salaries and perks as Ministers. It allowed UMNO to continue with NEP. That was Ling Liong Sik’s days as President of MCA. If MCA could not demand , then it is no bodyguard.
PM AAB declared the extension of NEP into 2020 without a review when Ong Ka Ting has become President. We expect MCA to demand a review, and to do what was suggest above. Failing that MCA should have left BN. By remaining in BN when AAB declared the extension of NEP in 2006, 35 years after its inception, and 15 years after NEP should have ended, it shows that MCA needed BN and not the other way around. Chinese do not need MCA if they have to suffer NEP. So MCA did not serve as a bodyguard for Chinese community in the conventional sense. MCA guarded Chinese community to the gallows. MCA leaders needed BN to satisfy their greed.
Yet Ong Ka Ting accused DAP leaders for being greedy in serving both in state and parliament. They do their job well, and should be accordingly compensated. It is MCA leaders that sell the Chinese community for their personal gain. They are not only greedy, they sin.
February 29th, 2008 at 18: 23.16
Allow me to share a Personal Experience….
As part of the management team of Malaysian Chinese Manufacturing Company, we recently experienced the true “MCA for its people” policy.
In June 2007, Ministry of Finance release a circular to all government department and agencies that they should purchase the products we manufacture from the only Bumiputra manufacturer of this product by way of direct negotiation. (Reasoning state in the letter in actual words… dasar kerajaan menyokong pengilang bumiputra berdaya maju - don’t ask me the logic behind this! I’m clueless as to how non competition can make people competitive, not to mention the waste of tax payers money government buying at higher price without tendering)
We, together with a handful of manufacturers, wrote of this injustice against Non Bumiputra company to MCA,the Star, the NST and DAP. MCA, verbally insisted that that was the government policy and can do nothing about it. The Star and NST never published our letters. Only DAP lead by Lim Guan Eng took initiative of our call, calling a press conference with the Chinese dailies (published the next day). After alot of complaints and noise made, a letter of retraction of the circular was made again by the Ministry of Finance. Thanks to DAP and LGE and the Chinese press, such injustice did not prevailed long.
This goes to show how much the MCA are really looking after the Chinese rights. When I read recently on how OKT speaks on MCA being the true voice of the Chinese, I laugh my head off, followed by a shrug of worry how many Malaysian Chinese buys his crap.
MCA and MIC is a cameo of the BN. At least UMNO really take care of the Malays….
While Malay voters have been split between UMNO against PAS and PKR, it has always been the conservative Chinese and Indian that voted BN to achieve the 2/3 majority, especially the older generations - (Scared got roits and disharmony).
Let this not happen again….
