At the SSS (Support, Sympathy and Solidarity) Candlelight Vigil for DAP MP for Seputeh Teresa Kok demanding her immediate release from Internal Security Act held at Ipoh Timor Garden East, Ipoh on Thursday, 18th September 2008 – the eve of Teresa’s seven-day incarceration – I said that a key MCA operative in Puchong had lodged a police report making false allegations against Teresa over the azan controversy on Thursday, 11th September 2008, which triggered her ISA detention the next day on Sept. 12 at 11.18 pm.
I repeated this the next day at Teresa’s media conference on her ISA release at DAP PJ hqrs the next day at 3.30 pm.
Is or was the “key MCA operative in Puchong” a MCA member? Let MCA leaders tell Malaysians.
Suddenly, MCA leaders like its vice president Datuk Ong Tee Keat have become very bold and courageous in throwing challenges wanting me to prove that “police reports lodged by members of an MCA division in Selangor had led to the detention of DAP’s Seputeh MP Teresa Kok under the Internal Security Act (ISA)”. (New Straits Times online)
But not a bleat from them when Home Minister, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar virtually told them to shut up and declared that there is not going to be any repeal or review of the ISA.
The MCA Central Committee met on Tuesday, 16th September 2008 and called for “a comprehensive review of the ISA so that it will apply strictly to cases relating to terrorism and subversive elements”.
Why didn’t the four MCA Ministers formally table this proposal at the Cabinet meeting the next day on Wednesday, 17th September 2008?
Are the MCA leaders just playing to the gallery in making public calls for the “comprehensive review” of the ISA, just for newspaper publicity but which MCA Ministers have neither intention nor political courage to pursue in Cabinet as a fundamental matter of principle?
MCA leaders are trying to raise a hue-and-cry over the identity over the “MCA operative in Puchong” whose police report one day earlier had triggered off Teresa Kok’s ISA detention.
Teresa had already revealed the identity of the “MCA operative in Puchong” concerned at the KL-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall on the occasionn of the “head-shaving protest” by 18 justice-and-freedom-loving Malaysians expressing their outrage at the unjust, undemocratic and unlawful detention of Malaysia’s most famous blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the Hindraf 5 and other detainees under the Internal Security Act.
The ball is now in the court of the “bold and courageous” MCA leaders.

Dear Melurian, have you ever own a dog? Normally, dog food is leftover foods, food that the owner eats, and when it’s not finish, it was given to the dog to finish it. By saying like dog food means, it’s like leftovers, something not properly thought of it’s nutritions. Just served because it’s there for convenience.
Have you ever eat 2 boil eggs for lunch, 2 boil eggs for dinner? plus some cucumber? Is this food enough to fill the day? Noone ask for abalone, but seriously, RM5.80 a day, what can you get for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Even 3 packet of nasi lemak already RM4.50. BTW, your calcultion on vege + rice + telur + oren is not enough for lunch and dinner, and it’s not up to the standard nutrition.
No wonder the BN government is still here, bullying the rakyat, because there’s still people like you who for reasons only you know speaks for this BN government.

“Yes….thick skull is hard to crack alright! Perhaps he should try feeding his kids with the kind of food he described he can buy with MYR5.80, for 3 meals, for a week and then tell us how they feel!”
if i work as janitor with 3-4 kids to feed, you’re right that I would feed my children rm 5 for 3 meals 2 meals! isa is not hotel, is not yr luxurious stopover place. it’s detention place that yr freedom is curbed (and brainwashed too). if she din want to put into isa, she should stop being into limelight too often, esp from oppos party. while i appreciate her sacrifices, her speech of being served food “like” dog food is uncalled for! what she expected – vip treatment? while I agree she should sue gov (particularly the ministry, toyo and utusan), the botak too could sue her for labeling the food as dog food, and mca sue her for saying the party member launch polis report on her (if it’s true, and the member is being mca member)! and speaking food taste “like” dog food, is there such statement, has she tasted dog food before?! it is obvious that such statement perceived that the food is dog food equivalent …… she should have chosen her words carefully instead exagerate the condition!

And he is concerned about the tarnishing of the image of and the damage to the reputation of the Government giving “dog food” to prisoners or ISA detainees but not too concerned about the arbitrariness or the malafide of the recent arrests and detentions. The Government has no image which can be tarnished further. No point talking to a s..t-head like him when he is still bent on accusing or finding things to bad-mouth Teresa who had been unjustly holed up for more than 5 days. No sense of justice or human compassion. Not just brain-brandnew but hati kering.

It is now a good time for MCA to leave BN. The opportunists pretended that they could be held responsible for rocking the boat had they considered leaving BN up to today. It is now clear that BN is sinking. UMNO warlords are fighting to kick AAB out whether that action would disturb investment climate in the country or not. They imagine that after taking over UMNO, all other component BN parties would just line up waiting to be told where to sit, and stay quiet.
When MCA and MIC partnered UMNO in seeking independence in the 1950s, they were able to agree to the respective positions of the people they represented. Briefly, all races were equal. But for the initial 15 years, Malays were to be given special privilege to allow them to catch up with other races. For the sake of implementing that article 153, the definition of Malays was agreed. The purpose of that article was not intended to add to the Malay population and hence to continue to claim the need for such assistance should new comers pull down the economic status of the original Malays. A review after 15 years was provided for in Article 153.
MCA and MIC were treated as junior partners all these years, after the emergency rule in 1969. There is no way MCA and MIC are able to get UMNO to agree to the social contracts entered into as the constitution of Malaysia. Worse, MCA and MIC was not able to stop UMNO extend its NEP, when it should have stopped in 1990, and now, twice the anticipated time of its implementation as agreed to by the president of UMNO Tun Razak.
I do not expect MCA and MIC to resign their ministerial positions over ISA. I expect all MPs in MCA and MIC to support the transfer of power from BN to Pakatan come the next parliamentary meeting. MCA and MIC will henceforth be independent members of parliament, and they would vote their conscience.
UMNO can choose to create its own team for the next election. MCA and MIC can be free to offer themselves to be cheated again. We would expect that Article 153 would be abolished it they again agree to join UMNO in the new venture. If they continue to accept that article and be a member of UMNO led coalition, they can consider themselves representative of only their members, and not the communities they said to represent. They should then not be allowed to use the name Chinese, or Indians, as the case maybe in the title of the political party they call themselves.

But do becareful as it can be considered sensitive and you may go into ISA where you will enjoy on full days meal at RM5.80. KFC, RM5.80 maybe for one meal only la. and really if you don’t like what Teresa said, sue her la.
and please do not bring issue of pilgrimage and Mecca here. Islam is a religion that goes beyond race which you don’t seem to see. and it has never been a requisite to be an UMNO member. It is one tenet of Islam that if a Muslim is able body and can afford it, should fulfill.

this is real racist statement, do the malaysian chinese have inadequate education ? do they have high “uneducated” rate among them ? got statistic to back this up ? do current gov hold back ….
============
==============================================
Hey melurian,…pls get ur facts right. What said by lhslhv is not a racist statement. What he said is correct. I am the living proof.
Malaysian Chinese never get equal opportunity in education. That’s fact! There is quota and we as top graduate in SPM (with 8 A1′s never ever get a chance to touch local university. This is fact.)
We get adequate education not because of government but because of family members who help and we also we have to stop education for a couple of years to earn enough money to further study overseas. NOT EVEN SINGLE CENT FROM THIS CORRUPTED GOVERNMENT. We apply yayasan, JPA, local council loan, tulis surat rayuan to every single local university. USELESS! All masuk tong sampah. Not even a reply. My Bidayuh, Iban friends as the local bumiputra with good results never get a chance to go overseas under government sponsor. This is also fact! She told me so.
We live and choose to contribute other country because we have equal opportunity and rights in overseas. We are treated as human being and we would never ever in our life heard something like “babi balik china” or “penumpang should not have equal right”. I do wish someone call me babi in overseas or not being treated equally. Well, it would definitely a good chance to sue that person to get millions of compensation. Anyway, that would never happen as people are more educated and mature overseas. Tak macam people from hutan who said no equal rights for penumpang. That’s RACIST AHMAD!
We work so much harder to get where we are today! Therefore stop telling us that we are traitors who don’t want to come to to work in Malaysia. Yes, we do want to come back. Please change the government and stop all this UMNOputras from feeding UMNOputra KAYA only. Lets help millions of poor Malay, Iban, Bidayuh and those who need help the most. Bee-End should give way to a more efficient and transparent government.

“Malaysian Chinese never get equal opportunity in education. That’s fact! There is quota and we as top graduate in SPM (with 8 A1’s never ever get a chance to touch local university. This is fact.)”
the question originally is like this ““If MCA is so GREAT the Chinese in Malaysia would not have to suffer for 2 generations since Merdeka in terms of education which is a basic necessity as a human being. They can’t even protect this basic need. What else on others?” – so your intepretation is that getting medicine or engineering degree is adequate education, izzit ? if you’re denied of medicine or those high profile degree then you are being denied basic need, izzit ? and what is spm got to do with univ admission, go skor your stpm then baru cakap. why i din hear lge contender in ge12 complaining on malaysia education, in fact she’s (5A STPM) grateful with it. apalah your 8A1 kompare with 5A STPM! there are many also other successful distinctive scholar helped by mca.
the world is unfair when there’s limited resources, and university seats are not limitless. just like some foreign univs limit quota to foreign students, there are ~60% bumi in the country who need to study too, and they probably don’t have same privilege as you study in nice aircond room while they have to help their familiy in gerai or market to put food on table! it’s just you are not the best among the allocated quota, so stop blaming other ppl and gov and than yourself! as if you took jpa skolar u will work with the gov for 8 yrs like dat!

Hi Melurian,
What he/she is trying to say is that poor people shouldn’t be deny rights to get proper or higher education. May be the wording isn’t perfect.
I am not saying medicine or engineering degree is consider minimum education. Anyone who is poor and has talent should be given the chance to further study. Who knows he/she is the next Stephen Hopkins. MCA is useless is helping poor chinese.
How about the orang asal. Why their applications are rejected? Aren’t they smart and poor bumiputras too? Did you read my last statement? I said the system should works for poor Malay, orang asal not UMNOputras KAYA.
Again, I do not have aircond in my house and I am not rich. That’s why I am not happy with the system. I am not working in the gerai but work in the kilang to earn myself and family a living. I would be very happy to go with the JPA and work for the government for 8 years. Wah, mangkuk besi. Bagus!
2 years on STPM would mean loss of income and no guarantee of courses I prefered. Have you ever heard of STPM 5A’s not getting a place in university? Well, during my time it happened to a lot of my friends. Luckily not wasted 2 years on STPM.
There isn’t because of limited resources. It is because of corruption. The poor Malay getting poorer and UMNOputras getting richer. Stop protecting BN lah, melurian. Just accept that BN is trying to separate the Malay, Indian and Chinese. Alamak, bila kita ni boleh bersatu padu with people like Ahmad Ismail, Kyoto, Najib in the government? Mungkin Anwar or Mahathir can give us the answer.
What’s GE12? I think I am now too old or have been overseas for too long. Never mind. Better carry on with my business now than arguing with this.

#12 by pjboy on Tuesday, 23 September 2008 - 12:43 am
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with having public schools that include other languages eg Arabic, Mandarin, Tamil, French, Japanese, etc. Why can’t our public school system integrate these extra languages into the curriculum? Why must we have Kebangsaan (basically Malay), Cina & Tamil schools? Isn’t it a waste of funds? Better schools can be built, more uesful programs, activities can be forged, etc & most of all, racial integration. Public schools facilities & programs are far better in Australia than here.
These may apply to urban area. For rural area, a different approach maybe.
My personal experience in the UK: no specific race intended, the issue is about integration & socialisation. The Chinese migrant population send the children to public schools, with majority ‘white’ kids. Sadly, majority of the migrant Pakistani do not want their kids to mix with the white kids. So, they demand their own schools, etc. Eventually, they even live on the same streets…virtually like a ‘kampung’. Ok, this is quite natural but for generations? There is no integration, or hardly. Socially, the ‘whites’ do not understand these people well, but they understand the Chinese well. The Chinese community thrive & succeed simply because they are in a foreign country & they integrate with the ‘white’ people. This is just one example. When the Pakistani community fail to develop, they start blaming the British Gov for neglecting them !!! Well, this was over 20 years ago. Perhaps now it is different if efforts were made to correct this ‘mistake’. I think the point is, race, religion & culture should be left at home. Out there, is a different ball game.

I don’t think whether the person who made the police report is a “key MCA operative” is the issue. The issue is whether this “key MCA operative” did lodge “a police report making false allegations against Teresa over the azan controversy on Thursday, 11th September 2008, which triggered her ISA detention the next day on Sept. 12 at 11.18 pm.”
I think if that police report did not make any false allegations against YB Teresa Kok, then the statement made is wrong.
It really does not matter which party that person comes from. If the allegations is wrong, it is wrong, just as now everyone is after ex-Selangor MB’s head for making the false allegation in his blog. He is the one who should be incarcerated.

What can you eat with RM 5.80 for breakfast, lunch , tea and dinner ?
Economy mixed rice cost RM3.50 for lunch and balance RM 1.30 for breakfaat and dinner. Surely dog food cost more than that.
Even the NS trainees gets more allocation than that. Is this the way to treat our politicians and ISA detainees ?
Yet we get Chandra Muzaffar coming out to say that this amount is sufficient during his detention.

Malurian,
With due respect, I really can’t stand your views. Let me put it square to you — if you take quota system for granted, then write to Olympic International that Malaysia wants some share of its gold medals without having to prove the caliber.
Do you know that Malaysia is the only country in the world to offer university entry to a race that is a majority in the country? Shame on you. People like you who have enjoyed the privilege at the sacrifice of others and yet blow the trumpet.
For your information, the quota system was invented to protect the minority, not majority. As far as the university intake is concerned, this mechanism other than meritocracy is put in place such that enough blacks in the US could enter the universities. The same applies for the tribal people of Taiwan, the maori of Australia, and the list goes on. They are the minorities, not the majorities.
If you still have the cheek to contaminate the discussion here, the next time ask your children to run the hundred meter race from the 50 meter mark to win it, and tell them that they deserve gold medals better that other kids because of the so-called Malaysia
quota system, not that they could run faster.

If we are more matured now as some claim Malaysians to be, why do we even need to counter comments made with the intention to fuel a discussion that can lead to scatching remarks against other races?
Can you see how all of us shoot off like loose cannons when a simpleton like melurian provokes us? We then let off steam by provoking other races. Is this what we want when this blog gets an MToday treatment or shall we play it smart by ignoring such blatant attempts to incite us?

You may have just undermined Theresa Koks claims against the Utusan Melayu by your allegation against the MCA. It is perhaps worth noting that in doing what you have done you have failed to take ito consideration the imapct your statement would have on Theresa Koks suit againsst the Utusan Melayu.
Further it is a demonstration of how disunited on real policy issues the opposition is. If Theresa had any sense she would have consulted you or checked with others in the opposition before lodging her claaim.
I have never given her credit for intelligence or for commitment to the cause of good opposition in government. I have always written on the basis that she is minisster for herself which she is.
As for you, with regards to your actions in this matter, it is rather disappointing considering your extensive tenure in your job as opposition leader. A mistake of this sort does incalculable and irrepairable damagee to your credibility and to that of your party.
