In the past month, the MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong had been very busy, making almost daily attacks on the Penang Pakatan Harapan State Government with wild allegations that it is utterly corrupt over the undersea tunnel project.
If Wee has a reputation as an anti-corruption warrior in Malaysia, this would be understandable, but the reverse is actually the case.
Over the past three years when Malaysia had been rocked by the international multi-billion dollar 1MDB money-laundering scandal, which had stained and tarnished Malaysia’s international reputation as it is regarded world-wide as a global kleptocracy, there was not a word of concern or query from Ka Siong and the MCA Ministers and leaders.
Instead, since June 2014, although the MCA had been reduced into a 7/11 political party in the 2013 General Election, Wee together with two other MCA leaders had enjoyed the perks and privileges of Cabinet Ministers of a kleptocracy under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Malaysians must ask whether Wee has in fact become the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department whose most important assignment is to perform the role as UMNO’s “Ninja assassin” to assassinate Penang Pakatan Harapan State Government’s reputation and integrity with wild allegations as if the Penang Pakatan Harapan State Government is utterly corrupt and decadent.
This will help to deflect the kleptocratic reputation of the Najib government over the 1MDB scandal which had earned for Malaysia the three 3Is of infamy, ignominy and iniquity of being regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy!
