GE13 Malaysia – Don’t sulk just go independent
Malaysians were entertained with some comic relief from those who were not picked by their BN or Pakatan Rakyat political parties as calon for GE13.
Some Malaysians were turned off by these dropped aspirants who brought their little coterie of friends to protest against their parties’ choice.
Hmmmm…. what happened to the declarations such as “I’m loyal to my XYZ party”, “I am doing servicing because I sincerely care”. You lot just disclosed to the whole world that all this time you all were really not doing whatever community work for the sake of the community’s betterment.
Eh, kurang asam… all these time taking free rides using party machinery to push for their personal advantage.
If these people think they are worthy of being elected, these people should just resign from their respective political party, fork out own money to fund their own candidacy as independents.
Don’t la play the sulking baddie and sabotage your own parties’ operations centres… Boleh?
Latest I heard some Subang Jaya friends said that Ong Chong Swen is also going to show her displeasure over being dropped as calon for N31 Subang Jaya. In what way, I wonder. I hope this ex-teacher will not show a bad example to mothers. Shame if this Wanita MCA central committee member behave so.
Selfish and hungry for personal fame, I wonder if their own party members will care to vote for them in coming party elections after the GE.
While we are on this topic, will this MCA man Ong Tee Keat be standing as an independent in Pandan constituency?

MCA’s AGM on 7 March and fresh elections 28 March
Boy did I have fun with MCA’s Central Committee supplying a ping pong like suspense this afternoon; following Twitter and Twitterers.
Maybe this year’s MCA Anniversary cum AGM should be tagged as “To hold, not to hold, kena hold, ordered to hold and have to hold”
See how some poor media friends have to play catch up with the changing by the hour decisions by the Malaysian Chinese Association central committee ‘leaders’…

Young Chinese Malaysians and MCA members and their destiny in history
Me received a very serious sounding email from a young MCA member friend. Share with you…
…
Looking into MCA history of 60 years, I’m afraid this is the only time an attempt at reform is seriously underway. And this is happening in our lifetime…
Seems like young Chinese Malaysians and MCA members have a chance to stamp our mark in history.
Sigh…like it or not, we’re part of it. We can’t run away, and I see a vision of my descendent pondering on my life philosophy years later when I’m old and grey.
I wonder how would they react to my stand on
• Backbone bending, kow towing to big bro UMNO?
• Warlordism in the little world of MCA?
Heavens forbid they carry the shame at my lack of courage to be a part of change.
My personal wish is to see MCA discard its central delegate warlords, ‘triads’ and their leftovers, through a reform.
I guess I don’t have to like Ong Tee Keat. I don’t have to like Chua Soi Lek. I don’t have to like the likes of Liow Tiong Lai, the tearful Wee Ka Siong or Chew Mei Fun either.
I don’t relish wearing face mask or wear black + light candles (my parents hate it and frown upon it as they deem it very sueey reserved for sanctity of human funeral). Won’t get anything done, wasting time.
Should I or shouldn’t I talk to all of these MCA leaders directly? What, How, Got to think how to go about it?
…
Me pity this young Hamlet, he should just go ahead and question his leaders directly. Go get them and dialogue, query and query those people to heart’s content… Be the change you want to be, man!
In fact, MCA members and the chinese community who want reform should seriously look into the MCA that members want and check out the real agenda of all their leaders(and their backroom handlers) involved.
Members should go and give the players a strong message what they want these appointed ’leaders’ to do for MCA. Speak up now or remain silent forever.
P/S: Blur? Read here and here for some titillating context of MCA’s interesting makeup. Remember to use your thinking equipment wisely.

Will MCA Central Committee dare to show some guts?
Some strange things happened on 10 October, 2009:
My friend’s mom cried.
My lawyer’s tongue went numb.
My Pakatan Rakyat supporter bro wished MCA members good luck and fun with the line dancing Ng Yen Yen.
My drinking friends cursed the MCA central delegates with the most colourful epithets. (trust me.)
#@$%…
With a little help from the brave doctor Chua Soi Lek who hung MCA’s party constitution out to dry, here’s the list from a blogger which me thinks will kill and will help Pakatan Rakyat bury MCA for good:
1. Too many factions (warlords?).
2. Too many mediocre personalities.
3. Too many rent-seeking personalities.
4. Too little effort in engaging the real community.
5. Too much effort in engaging associations filled with rent-seeking personalities.
6. Too much parochialism borne from an education system that is detached from the mainstream of the nation.
7. Too little effort in recruiting the best minds.
8. Too much effort in rewarding sycophants.
MCA’s history is based on wheeling-dealing. Genuine reform cannot take place unless the apex leaders disengage with the moneyed class. But how does one turn on one’s own genetic parentage?
This is the fundamental reality that the MCA needs to deal with. Can the existing leadership and membership do so?
And so, after the departure of a rare MCA species ‘dare to be a hero’ Ong Tee Keat, I hazard to predict that MCA’s future will be back to bland lapdog life.
Comatose existence with daily bland routine of licking the master’s hands.
tsk, tsk, tsk…
Unless, the MCA Central Committee accidently chanced upon an iota of courage within their bosoms to stand together and defy big brother UMNO and Tun Dr. Mahathir‘s wish to get rid of the Chinese community’s preferred President.
It’ll be fun to find out how UMNO deals with a biting rather than licking MCA.
But let’s get back to real life, now.
The real D Day will be on Thursday 15 October, 2009. Not the EGM as some central delegates were led to believe by their handlers.
