Cheng made an unprecedented attack against Ong in an interview published by Sin Chew Daily, the country’s No. 1 Chinese-language daily. Cheng said that under Ong’s leadership, the MCA had “split” from the country’s major Chinese organisations and clan associations. He also criticised Ong for engaging in political infighting when the country was facing an economic crisis. I fully agree with Cheng's view. The current MCA crisis had been sparked by Ong, who had tried to sack Dr Chua as MCA deputy president and member, so Ong must be responsible for his action.

Credit must be given when it is due. Here I can say at least OTK had bell the cat and we heard the thunder and there is rain. At least this has put Najib in a dilemma and any apparent move to cut short OTK will definitely put a spanner in his NKRA. Maybe he has to tip toe a bit. Of course this will not hold water if not for the 08/03/08 Tsunami but apparently UMNO's arrogance had come down a few notches. Do not forget the rakyat is following all his steps him closely. Conversely, on hindsight I do not think any MCA leaders will do likewise, some might have thunder but no rain and many will not have any thunder at all. Others who have self interests will definitely not like to see any thunder nor rain and instead will make every attempt to bury this bane. This will leave Najib in his happy hunting ground with no shadow to follow him and will stride and continue robbing the rakyat as though there is no tomorrow. I do not quiet agree with you Thomas.

However, MCA is now broken into at least 3 factions, and OTK cannot threaten to umno by taking MCA into Pakatan Rakyat. Of its 15 MPs, it is doubtful if OTK could call on the loyalty of not more than 5, including himself. After the next cabinet reshuffle, MCA will be further humiliated by umno when its number of Ministers and Deputy Ministers are drastically reduced in the light of its rapidly diminishing relevance in the eyes of the people. I believe not to far in the future, a person's membership in the MCA would become a source of great ridicule and embarrassment to him.

However, time will prove that any MCA National President will just be a humble lapdog that is submissible to Umno. If Umno does not want any person who is vested with the power to investigate in PKFZ scandal to play the tune too loud and too harsh ear, sooner or later the person (even with some power on hand) will have to lower his tone a bit. If Tee Keat dares to show any single sign of insubordination to Najib, the next thing we are to see will be nothing less than Najib's calling a cabinet reshuffle in order to get Tee Keat out of the post of Transport Minister. In view of MCA's irrelevancy in Barisan Nasional's so-called team leadership, what should we have to waste much time on talking about the party feuds of MCA? MCA does not worth our attention now.

However, in view of all MCA's three factions' pitifully lack of the two thrids majority control over the membership of the Central Committee, any attempt to make an improvement in the intra-party members' relationship will likely turn out to be a useless vain effort. I don't think either one of the three leaders in feud, namely Ong Tee Keat, Chua Soi Lek, and Liau Tiong Lai, will be able to come out with any good and workable ice-breaking idea. They are preoccupied only with the personal gains which they may stand to gain from the power struggle. The selfishness and greediness have caused the deterioration in the inter-personal relationship among the competing leaders. There is no immediate panacea that can really provide fast healing to MCA's internal decadence!
