Mamakutty tells MCA to drop ‘extremist Chinese’












By Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today waded into the war of words between the MCA and Perkasa, telling his Barisan Nasional ally to rid itself of “extremist Chinese” before demanding Umno reject the Malay right-wing group.

The Chinese-based party blamed “organisations like Perkasa” for BN’s failure in recapturing the community’s support, especially in last Sunday’s Hulu Selangor by-election, with MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek condemning Perkasa chief Datuk Ibrahim Ali for urging the government not to fulfil election pledges.

However, the former prime minister said Perkasa’s role was important because it ensured BN’s victory in the by-election.

“Maybe because of Perkasa, the Malay community voted for BN. If there is no Perkasa then BN would not have the Chinese or Malay votes,” Dr Mahathir (picture) told reporters after attending a lecture at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel here.

“If MCA wants Umno to distance itself from Perkasa, then MCA must distance themselves with extremist Chinese. Yes, there are lots of extremist Chinese. They even said that there are no people such as Malays,” he added.

In Sunday’s polls, MIC’s P. Kamalanathan secured a 1,725-vote majority win over PKR’s Datuk Zaid Ibrahim but failed to recapture votes from the Chinese community. BN only secured just over 20 per cent of the Chinese votes, down from the 35 per cent it had garnered during Election 2008.

Ibrahim has called the Chinese community “ungrateful” and urged the government to ignore demands made by the MCA and Gerakan as punishment for their failure to attract Chinese voters.

The Pasir Mas MP was criticised by Chinese leaders from both BN and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for what was described as a racist and insensitive statement.

Kamalanathan has also taken measures to distance himself from the outspoken leader.

Dr Mahathir explained that Perkasa was only defending the interest of the Malay community.

“If you look it is balanced because there are extremist Chinese groups that are saying there are no people such as Malays. This is why we say that racial issues should not be discussed publicly. One person says something and other person must reply. You say the other person is racist but they also say that you are racist.

“I also don’t think Perkasa is driving a wedge between the Barisan Nasional’s component parties because there are others who are saying things which cause Perkasa to reply,” the former Umno president said.

He stressed that while it was important for the government to recapture Chinese support it must not neglect the Malay community.

“Everybody’s support is important. If you have all the Chinese supporting and no Malay support then we will still lose. In this country, we must have everybody’s support,” he said.

Ibrahim, who was a deputy minister in the Mahathir administration, stirred up controversy again today when he asked Chinese voters in Hulu Selangor to repent after they received RM3 million for a school which the prime minister had pledged during the election campaign.

The Malay rights leader also demanded the Chinese voters be “grateful” for the donation and suggested that the Chinese may have been promised more than the Malays of Hulu Selangor.

Can you Mamakutty name the extremist Chinese in MCA ? They even said that there are no people such as Malays,” he added. I thought there are also others who are NOT Chinese saying it ! Are you a Malay in the first place ? Nay You are Mamak ! You are a son of an Indian who migrated from Kerala . Pordah !

  3. I jsut read the stupid statement by CSL blaming MCA members for declining support by Chinese. He is more stupid than I thought. He is even willing to sack MCA members. He is willing to kill his own people to support UMNO. What kind of MCA president can he be?

  5. KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 — The MCA has blamed internal sabotage by its own members as one of the reasons for Barisan Nasional’s failure to recapture Chinese voters in the Hulu Selangor by-election.
    Its president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek (picture) said the party would punish those who were allegedly involved in the sabotage during polling day once a full analysis of the by-election results was ready in three weeks.
    “We have instructed (secretary-general Datuk Seri) Kong Cho Ha, as the MCA’s election director, to prepare a report and an analysis on the Hulu Selangor by-election results.
    “The report must include the supposed attempts and proof to show the elements of sabotage by MCA leaders, including those from specific branches and in the grassroots,” he said.
    He noted that the party would then decide on the appropriate punishment on its members.
    “We believe that the party and the Barisan Nasional’s interest must always be defended and we will not tolerate these acts of betrayal,” he said.
    When asked if he felt that the purported sabotage by the MCA members was one of the reasons behind the BN’s failure to recapture Chinese support in the by-election, Dr Chua said:
    “Yes, it could have. That is why we need to prepare a report to see how prevalent it was.”
    He said that he himself saw the “sabotage” during polling day.
    “When I went to Kuala Kubu Baru on polling day, I saw that the polling stations that were supposed to be managed by two MCA branches were totally deserted although they had agreed to be there,” he said.
    Dr Chua said it was obvious that if the MCA members had not even bothered to man the booth, they would also not have voted for the BN.
    “There are about 11,000 MCA members in Hulu Selangor and about 7,000 of them are registered voters in the constituency,” he said.
    Dr Chua had earlier told The Malaysian Insider that the internal problems involved issues within the Hulu Selangor MCA division and that there was bad blood between the current chairman and the previous one.
    ==========================================
    The Chinese did not support MCA is because of you and your tainted reputation. Many MCA people know that it is a lost cause to have a tainted president. Those front line people were humiliated by the Chinese community because of your stain and they were demotivated thats why they went home and you call it sabotage....you choose to pick on them, is this what you good at?....instead of solving problem.....you want to punish them. If you really care for your party and BN image, you should completely retire for politic and not let innocent people shouldered you blunder.

    To all righteous MCA people, don't let your tainted president cow you with his threats, instead take him to task. If he dare to punish you then take him to court.....

  12. Beware, J4OTK, that old chap cheng is evil.

    He has the protection of many devils.

    As another poster has pointed out, from Thai Monks to Indon bomoh to Indian gurus, they all sent their "gooi kia" to protect that old chap cheng.

    So you need to put up some protection for yourself too, J4OTK.

    You never know what that old chap cheng will use to hit back at you.
