I gave a full assurance to MCA and Gerakan yesterday that the DAP has no intention or capability to eliminate MCA and Gerakan.

This is because no other political party can eliminate MCA or Gerakan, as only MCA itself can eliminate MCA, and Gerakan itself can eliminate the Gerakan, by adopting policies and measures which deprives them of all public support, because they have rendered themselves completely inconsequential, irrelevant and marginalized.

I asked how DAP can cause the MCA and the Gerakan leaders to adopt policies and measures which would render MCA and Gerakan completely inconsequential, irrelevant or marginalized unless the MCA and Gerakan leaders have become puppets or stooges of DAP, which is even more unthinkable.

However, my assurance yesterday that the DAP had no intention to “eliminate” MCA and Gerakan and no political parties can eliminate MCA and Gerakan except by their own suicide and self-destruction were clearly not satisfactory or inadequate, as the MCA Johor leaders are planning a most unheard-of political gathering in Yong Peng tomorrow, entitled: “ANTI SIEGE-ELIMINATION TEAM JOHOR TOTAL OFFENSIVE RALLY”, and the publicity materials bear the MCA and Barisan Nasional logos with the photographs of MCA President, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and the MCA Deputy President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.

The “ANTI SIEGE-ELIMINATION TEAM JOHORE TOTAL OFFENSIVE RALLY” conjures up images of the “shock-and-awe” strategy employed during the 2003 Iraq War through the use of overwhelming power and spectacular display of force designed to destroy the enemy’s will to fight.

What is MCA TEAM JOHOR referring to – a super force with dazzling power using “shock-and-awe” tactics to carry out a siege-and-elimination strategy in the Malaysian political environment?

Are the MCA Johor leaders referring to the DAP? We are very flattered, for it has never entered into our minds to eliminate MCA or that we have the capability to carry out a “shock-and-awe” strategy to subdue the MCA.

There is only one political party in the country which might have the resources and capability to mount such a “siege-elimination” strategy using “awe-and-shock” tactics – and that political party is Big Brother UMNO.

Is MCA Johore’s “Anti-Siege-Elimination Team Johore Total OFFENSIVE RALLY” in Yong Peng directed at UMNO – especially over its reluctance to return to MCA all the parliamentry constituencies which MCA had lent to UMNO in previous general elections?

It is for the MCA leaders to explain what its rally in Yong Peng tomorrow is all about.

However, I would like to give MCA President, Liow Tiong Lai and the MCA Deputy President, Wee Ka Siong a free DIY tip as to how MCA can ensure that it could not be “eliminated” under any circumstances.

All that the MCA leadership needs to do is to speak up, loud and clear, on the 1MDB scandal which has brought shame, humiliation and infamy to Malaysians as Malaysia is regarded worldwide as a global kleptocracy in the past three years, demand that Najib give Malaysians and the world a full accounting for one of the greatest kleptocratic scandals in the world and that all ill-gotten gains from the 1MDB kleptocracy including RM144 million pink diamond necklace should be confiscated and returned to Malaysians

Would the MCA leaders dare to act on this DIY advice – say, at the “ANTI SIEGE-ELIMINATION JOHOR TEAM TOTAL OFFENSIVE RALLY” in Yong Peng Tomorrow?
