UMNO and PAS making use of MCA to “borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul” (借尸还魂) to build the new MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance to plot the downfall of Pakatan Harapan Government before 15GE

Yesterday, I asked three questions:

· Why PAS wants to help the MCA in the Balakong by-election;

· Why is MCA getting help from UMNO leaders who are continuing with their extreme and irresponsible politics of race, religion, hate, fear and lies 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.

· Why is MCA so desperate that it has to seek help from the extremist and opportunistic UMNO/PAS unholy alliance to avoid losing deposit in the Balakong by-election?

All the answers to these three questions were answered yesterday evening.

In the Seri Setia by-election yesterday, UMNO and PAS finally got in bed together, with both parties campaigning jointly for the PAS candidate.

This unholy UMNO/PAS union was blessed by the MCA leadership, which was represented at the PAS Seri Setia by-election campaign when the UMNO President, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi spoke at the PAS by-election ceramah and even pledged to personally attend the PAS Muktamar in Kuala Terengganu next week.

First three MCA Presidents, Tan Cheng Lock, Lim Chong Eu and Tan Siew Sin, must be turning in their graves at the new MCA/UMNO/PAS unholy alliance in Balakong by-election to cause downfall of Pakatan Harapan government before 15GE

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. Read the rest of this entry »

May 9, 2018 was a “gift of hope” which civic societies can help to fruition by playing an important role in nation building in New Malaysia – developing ways for the different races and religions to interact more and better understand each other

I am greatly honoured, deeply humbled and completely overwhelmed by the award of the Paul Harris Fellowship of Rotary Club of Damansara West.

I commend the Rotary Club of Damansara West for living up to the famous Rotary motto of “Service Above Self”, and in particular for its “Every Child Every Year”, “Gift of Heart” and “Gift of Sight” programmes to provide breakfast to needy children and bring life and sight to low-income families by funding pediatric hole-in-heart surgeries and cataract operations.

Tonight is a special occasion, for today is 5.9.2018, which has a special affinity to 9.5.2018, the Polling Day of the 14th General Election which provided to all Malaysians a “gift of hope” that life could be better in Malaysia under a new government, that Malaysians can hope and dream again to make Malaysia a great and respected nation in the world.

I recall that when I first set out 53 years ago on the political journey, there was no thought about elections, becoming a State Assemblyman, Member of Parliament or forming governments just ideals and principles although these became necessary elements in the ensuing process.

I was propelled solely by the idealism of youth to contribute to the building of a better Malaysia, which is united, harmonious, democratic, progressive and prosperous, where there is rule of law, good governance, public integrity and economic well-being; to build a Malaysia which is admired and respected by the world as a world-class nation in various fields of human endeavour.

Or in the words of Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman, the vision of Malaysia as “a beacon of light in a difficult and distracted world”. Read the rest of this entry »

Official support of PAS for MCA in Balakong by-election reinforces my call to Balakong voters to come out in full force to ensure “One Vote to reject MCA, UMNO and PAS” on Sept. 8

The official support of PAS for MCA in Balakong by-election has reinforced my call on Sunday night for the voters of Balakong to come out in full force on the by-election polling day on Saturday, 8th Sept. 2018 to carry out a historic and national task by using their one vote to reject the irresponsible and opportunistic politics of MCA, UMNO and PAS.

Malaysians have just celebrated Merdeka Day on August 31, and it was a celebration which was never like it in the past six decades.

Malaysians who were unconcerned and even indifferent in previous Merdeka Days were excited about the birth of a New Malaysia, a land where every Malaysian can feel proud to be a Malaysian.

Although Pakatan Harapan has peacefully and democratically replaced UMNO/BN as the Federal Government of Malaysia, MCA/UMNO leaders and conspirators are doing their utmost to bring about the downfall of the Pakatan Harapan Federal Government before the 14th General Election by 2023, or even earlier, in two to three years.

Now joining these MCA/UMNO leaders and conspirators in this irresponisble and opportunistic conspiracy to cause the downfall of Pakatan Harapan government are the PAS leaders, who have shown their hands in their appearance in support of the MCA Balakong by-election candidate last night.

We have on the one hand the MCA leaders, who are accusing the DAP of selling-out the rights and interests of the Malaysian Chinese, while the UMNO and PAS leadrers are complicit in attacking the DAP and Pakatan Harapan of betraying Malay rights and interests. Read the rest of this entry »

Call for over 80% of the Balakong voters to come out in Sept. 8 by-election to vote for a New Malaysia and reject UMNO/BN plot to topple the Pakatan Harapan Government to return the UMNO/BN regime of corruption and abuses of power

DAP and Pakatan Harapan have fielded Wong Siew Ki as candidate for the Balakong by-election to carry on the great work of the late Eddie Ng as Selangor State Assembly representative for Balakong.

Although the Balakong voters do not expect Wong to be exactly like Ng, as Ng had been such an exemplary people’s representative that some voters say they will be satisfied if Wong can do 60 per cent of what Ng did, Wong’s hectic and punishing pace during the by-election campaign covering the constituency is a testament of Wong’s determination to do her best and to do better than 60 per cent of what Ng did.

In the recent Sungai Kandis by-election, the voter turn-out was below 50 per cent although during the May 9 general election, the voter-turn out in Sungai Kandis was 86%. In the May general election, the voter turnout in Balakong was even higher at 87%.

Wong has appealed to the Bakakong voters for a voter turnout on Sept. 8 of over 60 per cent. This is not high enough. I want to appeal to the voters of Balakong for a historic turnout of over 80 per cent, as the Balakang by-election has a national significant over and above than just electing the State Assembly representative for Balakong.

Malaysians have just celebrated Merdeka Day on August 31, and it was a celebration which was never like it in the past six decades. Read the rest of this entry »
