That is also my message to the MCA delegates who will be voting at the EGM on Oct 10.

Due to the long article , here are excerpts of his article .
One and only one choice
This Saturday, Oct 10, MCA delegates have one and only one choice. They must exercise their duty responsibly and vote with the party, community and nation uppermost in their mind. They are not there on that day to vote for personal interest.
They will individually and collectively be responsible and answerable to history whether MCA will and can survive as a united and relevant party. They will decide whether a reformed MCA can be strong enough to play its part in nation building and with dignity.
Either MCA courageously changes for the better or the party would be changed for failing the national interest as provided in the tenets and spirit of our Constitution and Rukun Negara.
It is imperative for the MCA to change before the next political tsunami hits us again. Changes must come and felt well before 2012.
In so far as the greater Chinese masses outside the party are concerned, many already think that the MCA is a dying duck. If its present leadership crisis is not re solved in the singular interest of the party, it will be a dead duck.
Ong's best qualifications
That was really sincere inter-community service with no strings attached. That was the heart of the Malay kampong folks as I knew them when I frequently patrolled those areas looking for communist terrorists. That was the heart of the Malay who could sit at the little Chinese coffee-shops in the new village sipping coffee without undue sensitivity alongside boisterous Chinese mahjong players.
On Saturday, MCA delegates have no choice but to stand by their elected incumbent president, Ong Tee Keat, whether they love him or not.
He is not a saint and this is not the time to look for a political saint but I believe Ong’s honestly and sincerity in wanting to reform MCA are his best qualifications.
We are living a political emergency in a nation where competing political forces, one professedly non-racial and the other, once substantively non-racial but had since, turned too racial presumptuously and fractured the nation with the arrogance and superiority of race.
I trust this will enlighten and bring better sense to any third group within MCA that their efforts, whatever the hopeful personal returns, will only sustain a no longer viable status quo within a relatively discredited BN.

Thank you for enlightening us. People who are proven morally and sexually tainted and should not have the ambition to lead any political party as he will not be able to function effectively as he would not be able to command the respect of his subordinates/members and allies. Agree that there is no other option other than to give OTK his deserving undivided support. Show the members that MCA's delegates have wisdom to choose a righteous leader.
ReplyDeleteThank You Sir for your Advise which is correct that no morally and sexually tainted leader shall lead a political party . Thank You again for your interest in MCA and your duty to advise its delegates .
ReplyDeleteDato' Sri, you should not meddle too much in party politics, otherwise you will lose your respects. Both CSL and OTK have theor own supporters, they could be very angry with you.
ReplyDeleteWe need sincere statesman like Datuk Seri to give his view without fear or favour. Keep on writing we cherish your advice. We should be civilized enough to disagree to agree.
