Is MCA still relevant ?


This question keeps circulating around my mind and soul after the 12th general election : Is MCA still relevant to the Malaysian Chinese ?

MCA which claims to represent Malaysian Chinese is losing many of its battlefields in the last general election. It won 38% of the parliamentary seats and 34% of the states seats contested. For many primary school student, these two "RED" scores means "makan rotan" when they present their scorecard to their parents.

Without any doubt, the leaders from MCA are doing something for the community. But are they doing something relevant ? From an observer point of view, the so called wakil rakyat are doing tasks which are supposed to be handled by the local council or government agency e.g. inspecting drainage system and installing lamp post. To me, they are putting too much effort into these trivial matters, while at the same time, ignoring the importance of playing an active role in formulating constructive national policies and facilitate its implementation.

With its current form of existence, MCA is just making up the number in Barisan Nasional. Some people say that the role of MCA in BN is merely a political "beggar", rather than a respected and dynamic political partner. They bow to big brother UMNO who likes to wave keris during their annual meetings.

In order to continue its political survival, MCA should be revamped by getting feedback from grassroots Chinese, old and young, rich and poor, rural and urban. The mission ahead is to correct whatever national policies which are corrupted, outdated, and biased for the sake of this beautiful country. Racial mentality must be eliminated in order to promote competitiveness arising from globalization. Don't spend stupid time arguing on how to cut the economic pie, expand and enlarge the pie instead. Dubai is an good example whereby oil money is being used to build a robust economy. Bright people are being attracted to participate in the national building of UAE.

To Ong Ka Ting, the president of MCA : Pls don't build an "Ong" dynasty in MCA as the party is not a Ong Sdn Bhd. A person without charisma and passion to the rakyat should never lead a political party.

To other leadership in MCA : You can lose many battles, but never lose a war. Otherwise, you will be totally wiped out in the next tidal wave, and be the 1st political dinosaur in Malaysia, to be kept in Muzium Melaka.

dun worry. Ong Sdn Bhd is Ong limited. Limited in keupayaan & limited in kesokongan. He won't stay long and botak corporation will replace him soon.
