MCA: Fate hanging in balance ?
Neil Khor , Aug 20th 09 3:35pm

The Malaysian Chinese Association, its Deputy President rightly points out, is swimming in treacherous waters. There is every danger that it might not survive beyond the next general election.
Dissatisfied voters, rightly or wrongly, often take out their frustration during elections by voting for the Opposition.

However many chose to disagree as it is well known that MalaysiaKini likes to post unsubstantiated and highly controversial articles . Its writers are known to be tilted towards the opposition and Malaysiakini has been known to be called AnwarKini for the spins that they have been coughing out .

Here's what one blog called bananachinese web blog has to say about MCA's Deputy President .

Our naughty boy is in big news again, providing some distraction from the seriousness of A(H1N1)…

“Chua told reporters at a press conference at a hotel in Petaling Jaya last night that while he had supported Ong in making a police report and in taking legal action, he had objected to the party itself getting involved. (Banana: See below response I got from an MCA insider)

“I expressed support to sue Tiong but I do not believe the party should be involved in it. It is a personal problem. Only the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission know the truth,” he said before chairing a meeting with other Barisan Nasional component parties. “I support the president in seeking legal redress but not dragging the party into it.” (Banana: Again, see below MCA insider’s response)

Chua also expressed his doubts about Ong’s “conspiracy theory” about a RM100 million campaign to destroy MCA. (There’s no smoke without a fire, Mr Chua?)

The Chinese media had reported that Ong told division leaders that there was a concerted effort to amass RM100 million to move a vote of no-confidence against him at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) and that should the effort fail, there will be an attempt to form a new Chinese-based political party to replace MCA.

“The conspiracy theory has no basis,” Chua scoffed. “If you say there is a RM100 million campaign to topple him, the message is that MCA members only look for money — no money no talk. At the end of the day, people support politicians based on their performance.” (Banana: Please, Mr Chua, you are not being truthful here. Money makes frogs jump. Remember Ms Hee Yit Foong? Don’t tell me all politicians are good performers. Please ask Uncle Lim Kit Siang and Anwar Ibrahim for their opinion)

He also said that he thinks the party is at its lowest point in its history and if the “internal conflicts” continue, the party may not survive past the next general election. (Banana: What are you going to do to contribute to harmonious relationship in your party, Mr Chua?)

“The voters will replace MCA because we are not performing and involved with internal conflicts. We are elected to serve the people and not politics,” he said. (Banana: errr, Mr Chua, you were not elected at 308, remember? Tainted candidate is not acceptable according to Pakatan Rakyat?)

He also cited a case to reporters of “a senior MCA leader” who was arrested in Singapore, charged and jailed, likely referring to former MCA president Tan Koon Swan who was found guilty of criminal breach of trust. “We should let the law take its course,” he said. (Banana: Yes, totally agree with you, Mr Chua. Let law take its course. Btw, the law of the land still says fornification is illegal. Even though I pity you for being caught, the law is still the law.)

And here's what one commentator by the name of Anun has to say ....

“The conspiracy theory has no basis,” Chua scoffed. “If you say there is a RM100 million campaign to topple him, the message is that MCA members only look for money — no money no talk.

Please lah Mr Chua , didn’t you played money politics when you gave big sums to divisional heads and central delegates to vote for you during the last party election ? With some divisionsreceiving as much as 100K ? Ask Chua Jui Meng , he should know . And by the way some divisions who received donations from you were cheques from tobacco companies when you minister of health . What happen to the Tak Nak ie No Smoking campaign ? swept under the carpet ? return of favors ?
