Malaysians are watching the roll-out of the biggest MCA charade in its 65-year party history – MCA threatening to mobilise thousands of people and even to surround Parliament to oppose hudud but it could not mobilise one person, the MCA President himself, to say “No” to the Prime Minister and UMNO President Datuk Seri Najib Razak on the issue.
Based on a very misleading and incorrect translation of the Pakatan Rakyat Leadership Council statement on hudud on Sept. 28, 2011, the MCA had launched an aggressive but dishonest nation-wide campaign against the DAP which has ended up as the biggest MCA charade in its 65-year party history.
It is sad to watch such a MCA charade – for it has only succeeded in relentlessly and mercilessly exposing Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and the MCA leaders as political leaders without conviction, principles and scruples, which was why the MCA was roundly rejected by the Malaysian electorate in the 13th general elections last May and reduced to a “7-11” political party in Malaysia.
Liow and the current MCA leadership are now under a stringent test – are they prepared to tell Najib that they are not prepared to return to the Barisan Nasional Cabinet and Government until and unless the consensus principle is restored to the Barisan Nasional, and Najib retract his unilateral and arbitrary announcement last Thursday that the Barisan Nasional Federal Government had never rejected hudud?
Or are ministerial and deputy ministerial positions and other perks of office more important for Liow and the current crop of MCA leaders than political conviction and principles including the important principle that Barisan Nasional operates by way of consensus of all component parties and not just at the dictate of one political party, UMNO?
When Najib made the shocking statement in Alor Star last Thursday that the Barisan Nasional Federal Government had never rejected hudud, why was there no objection or contrary voice by the MCA President.
Similarly, why was the MCA Presidential Council which met yesterday silent on Najib’s announcement, which was clearly contrary to the principle of Barisan Nasional consensus unless Liow had secretly or privately given his agreement to Najib’s statement – whether before or after the event?
Would an emergency meeting of the MCA Central Committee be convened to rebut and repudiate Najib’s statement last Thursday that the Barisan Nasional Federal Government had never rejected hudud?
Or there is no such need as what Najib announced in Alor Star had willy-nilly become automatic Barisan Nasional policy, which no MCA leader would publicly oppose or criticize as it would endanger the return of Liow and other MCA leaders to the Barisan Nasional Cabinet and Government as Ministers and Deputy Ministers?
Let Liow and the MCA leadership clarify this very simple issue which is being asked by all thinking Malaysians.

What really boggles my mind, even in the bodek DNA of MCA, do they think this will do anything real for them? Isn’t it too tiring to be pretend it really matters to their voting constituent who already have over 50% tertiary educated and only getting more educated?
Its red-neck politicking but our red-necks not like white red-neck – we don’t have centuries of conflict with Islam..How could it possible matter to enough votes?

A couple of weeks ago Jib was reported as having said he does not reject hudud.
Fine.
But does that means he supports hudud?
This is serious because you see that same idiot went to town telling the world that mh370’s flight ended in the middle of the southern indian ocean.
But he then turned around quite quickly to insist that he didnt say that the plane had crashed in the ocean.
So the flight just ended with the plane suspended in air, is that what he meant?
Oh I forgot. He didnt say that either.

Well, well, well!
What the Malaysian electorate thinks about these liars have been thoroughly reflected in the last few elections.
The more cock and bull they spew, the more severe these reflections will be!

Please clarify is follow is it correct, tell the true please
Reliance of the Traveler (p. 746 – 8.2) – “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible (N:i.e. when the purpose of lying is to circumvent someone who is preventing one from doing something permissible), and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory… it is religiously precautionary in all cases to employ words that give a misleading impression…
“One should compare the bad consequences entailed by lying to those entailed by telling the truth, and if the consequences of telling the truth are more damaging, one is entitled to lie.
Please clarify is follow summary correct or not
There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
Are they really strict the law only to Muslim no expanding? Slowing extending to fully…when their laws fully… it should included condition restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing their religions…will it be too late to save our Federal Constitution?

“Hudud” to the MCA is liked having 72 virgins sent from heaven to get their pants wet. It’s a kind of aphrodisiac to them.
Personally I care not what happens to these morons who masquerade themselves blindly except that they are trying to pull all of us in the same rotten boat and sink with them.
