The first three MCA Presidents, Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu and Tun Tan Siew Sin, must be turning in their graves at the new MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance in the Balakong by-election to cause the downfall of Pakatan Harapan government before the 15th General Election so as restore the regime of corruption, abuses of power and mediocrity of the past.

The three questions uppermost in Malaysian minds are:

Firstly, why PAS wants to help the MCA in the Balakong by-election.

During the May 9 general election, the winning candidate from DAP and Pakatan Harapan Eddie Ng polled 41,768 votes while the PAS candidate polled 6,230 votes and the MCA candidate polled 5,874.

What is most noteworthy is that the PAS candidate got more votes than the MCA candidate, although both lost their deposits.

Is the MCA candidate fighting to retain his deposit in the by-election?

But the most pertinent question is why the PAS President, Datuk Seri Hadi Awang should be worried that the MCA candidate might lose his deposit in the by-election without PAS help, to the extent of ordering his “big guns” like the PAS Secretary-General to campaign for the MCA in the by-election?

Is this the sign of an MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance shaping up in post-14GE Malaysian politics?

Secondly, why is MCA getting help from UMNO leaders who are declaring that after the 14GE, the Malays have lost political power, that the DAP is the enemy of the Malays and Islam and that DAP wanted to abolish the Malay Sultans and set up a republic – taking the irresponsible and dangerous politics of race, religion, hate, fear and lies to an even more extreme extent than before the last general elections?

Does MCA leaders agree with the lies and falsehoods being churned out the by the UMNO leaders? Dare MCA leaders tell to the UMNO leaders to stop telling lies or to ban them from MCA ceramahs in the Balakong by-election?

How can MCA leaders seek the help of these UMNO leaders who are claiming that the Malays have lost political power and yet at the same time accuse the DAP of selling out the rights and interests of the Malaysian Chinese?

Thirdly, why is MCA so desperate that it has to seek help from PAS to avoid losing deposit in the Balakong by-election?

Apart from the first three MCA Presidents, Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu and Tun Tan Siew Sin, who are turning in their graves at the MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance, there are six other MCA Presidents who are still living and in our midst.

Do they endorse the MCA President, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai in striking the MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance in the Balakong by-election?

It will be interesting to hear from these still-living former MCA Presidents.

Jika tiga presiden terawal MCA; Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu dan Tun Tan Siew Sing masih hidup, mereka pasti terkejut dengan kerjasama antara MCA/Umno/PAS dalam PRK Dewan Undangan Negeri Balakong bagi menjatuhkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan sebelum PIlihan Raya Umum ke-15

Jika tiga presiden terawal MCA; Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu dan Tun Tan Siew Sing masih hidup, mereka pasti terkejut dengan kerjasama antara MCA/Umno/PAS dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Balakong bagi menjatuhkan kerajaan Pakatan Harapan sebelum PIlihan Raya Umum ke-15 (PRU15) dan mengembalikan rejim yang rasuah, salah guna kuasa dan tidak mempunyai rekod yang baik sebelum ini.

Tiga soalan yang bermain-main di fikiran rakyat Malaysia adalah:

Pertama, mengapa PAS mahu membantu MCA di PRK Balakong.

Pada PRU 9 Mei, calon dari DAP dan Pakatan Harapan Eddie Ng untuk DUN Balakong memperoleh 41,768 undi sementara calon MCA mendapat 6,230 undi dan calon MCA mendapat 5,874 undi. Ini menunjukkan bahawa calon PAS mendapat lebih undi berbanding calon MCA, meskipun kedua-dua mereka kehilangan deposit.

Adakah calon MCA bertanding hanya untuk mengekalkan depostinya dalam PRK ini?

Namun, yang menghairankan adalah mengapa Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Hadi Awang bimbang calon MCA berisiko kehilangan deposit pada PRK tersebut tanpa bantuan PAS, sehingga mengarahkan pemimpin kanannya seperti Setiausaha Agung PAS untuk berkempen bagi pihak MCA pada PRK ini?

Adakah ini petanda bahawa kerjasama MCA/Umno/PAS akan terbentuk pasca PRU14?

Kedua mengapa MCA meminta bantuan pemimpin Umno yang mengisytiharkan bahawa selepas PRU14, orang Melayu kononnya hilang kuasa politik, DAP kononnya adalah musuh orang Melayu dan Islam dan DAP kononnya mahu memansuhkan institusi Raja-raja Melayu dan menubuhkan negara Republik – membawa politik perkauman, agama, kebencian, ketakutan dan pembohongan yang tidak bertanggungjawab dan bahaya sehingga ke tahap yang lebih ekstrem daripada sebelum PRU lalu.

Adakah pemimpin MCA bersetuju dengan kepalsuan dan pembohongan yang dilaungkan pemimpin Umno? Adakah pemimpin MCA berani menegur pemimpin Umno supaya berhenti menyebarkan penipuan atau menghalang mereka daripada hadir ke ceramah anjuran MCA di Balakong?

Bagaimana pemimpin MCA boleh meminta bantuan pemimpin Umno yang mendakwa orang Melayu hilang kuasa politik tetapi dalam masa sama menuduh DAP meminggirkan kepentingan dan hak orang Cina di Malaysia?

Ketiga, mengapa MCA begitu terdesak sehingga perlu meminta bantuan daripada PAS untuk mengelak kehilangan deposit dalam PRK Balakong?

Selain tiga presiden terawal MCA, Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu dan Tun Tan Siew Sing yang pastu terkejut dengan kerjasama antara MCA/Umno/PAS, terdapat enam lagi presiden MCA yang masih hidup. Adakah mereka menyokong kerjasama tersebut? Menarik untuk kita dengar pandangan mereka berhubung isu itu.
