///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.

///They (MCA), too, have to kowtow and plead for some bread crumbs just like MIC. They are equally powerless.///–Samy Vellu

Samy Vellu shows by making that statement that he is in fact better than MCA leaders, who pretend that they were serving the Chinese community. Having 28 years in the government, and he must have been convinced that the situation would only get worse when MIC and MCA served as wall flower to UMNO for them to do what they please, Samy Vellu should now be brave to leave MIC, and contest his seat in Sungai Siput as Independent. He will at least save his name, even at this late hour.

There is no way UMNO would be willing to share the country equally with all Malaysians. 50 years have seen two and a half generations getting ready to compete with any imaginary adversaries, when there were none. When 20 years, a generation was ample to change the capacity of any family, the other thirty years offer them opportunity to exist as parasites, and worse, the time to produce more parasites to burden the society, if being parasites was the sole objective in taking advantage of the special position. After all, competition has to be carried out in the real environment. If it was the intention to live up to real competition, then, the actual competition should have started in 1972, 15 years after Article 153 and Independence.

Of course the ordinary UMNO members would like to take the route of no work more pay if they can. The UMNO leaders have found that in making their members dependent on the organization, they would be there forever, and positions in party can be handed down from father to son, like royal household with connection to government tills. Yes, the honour of the Malays general public is utilised to keep them in power; when they say Malays still require help, it is clear to all that UMNO leaders are smart, and in addition to taking care of themselves, they have to be responsible to the weak, and the Malays public are always weak, as far as they are concerned. To the UMNO leaders , those Malays with PhDs are also weak, and that is why you find over 90% university lecturers are Malays when the ratio should have been 60 per cent, following the racial proportion in the country when it is believed that all races are equally intelligent. The high percentage of Malays university lecturers says only that Malays are preferred over non-Malays, and that is needed because they are weak, and require special assistance. Obviously when a larger proportion of the lecturers are from a single race, it can be concluded that the weakest among the PhD are accepted into the teaching staff. Should we wonder why the Universities in Malaysia are losing out to others in the world, by the year. Yes, we can pretend we are the best, and carry on dreaming.

MCA is powerless to make the country attain its potential. MCA officials have not the intention to do so. The people in power in MCA are only interested to make use of their position in the party or government to enrich their family. Just count the number of the new candidates who are the children of the past MCA politicians. The fathers could not serve the community, and they have trained their children to continue with exploiting the political rights of the Chinese in the country. Why can’t the Chinese vote to see what can happen if MCA is wiped out rather than waiting for the rights to be taken away, bit by bit, in keeping MCA in play.

The Chinese know full well that UMNO has been tightening the rope around Chinese necks, year after year. Over time, we would face the situation worse than the slaves in America. The American slaves were getting a change of live for the better while we attained independence in 1957, and we had racial equality save for the few provisions under Article 153. We are now slowly forced into slavery status, travelling in reverse direction to the blacks in USA.

There is still so-called parliamentary democracy when we can still vote, though the weights are unequal. We know UMNO to be the devil, and yet we fear the unknown by voting the devil we know. We are brainwashed to believe that PAS is a bigger devil. Let us set the bigger devil to fight off the known devil, and if we have to experience the worst, let it come down early. PAS are manned by god-fearing religious people. Let PAS teach UMNO what true Islam means. It cannot be dead body snatching to gain religious merit!

To continue voting for BN is to vote for fatality, dying slowly. So when we face PAS against BN, it is PAS that we vote, never mind if MCA, or Gerakan is standing on UMNO behalf.
