MCA proves they have sold out the Chinese and became pawn for UMNO

So the election fever is heating up and so are the propaganda by the great big masquerade called Barisan National.

A few key incidents have made the leading party desperate to fish votes for the coming election. Even key columnists for govt-controlled machinery concurred it is unlikely BN can repeat the 2004 landslide victory.

Rising crime, Lingam controversy, Keris-wielding Nazi speeches in UMNO assemblies, two major demonstrations and economic uncertainty are some of the issues Malaysians have to grapple with. It is no surprising BN's propaganda machine has formed a new election theme; "VOTE FOR US OR ELSE..."

Starting is a statement by Selangor minister Datuk Khir Toyo reminding Indians and Chinese not to "main wayang" referring to the Ijok election where despite "promises" by Chinese voters, most voted for Opposition. Hey, what comes around goes around right?

But wait, more despicably for a Chinese like me, the MCA who whored themselves shamelessly to UMNO played along with Khir Toyo. This is militant campaigning, Kerismuddin style. It's Hitler demanding the jews to vote for him to power or else they will face the gas chambers.

I read a mainstream paper today citing a MCA leader defending Kerismuddin's Nazi oratory speeches, telling the Chinese that Kerismuddin has been responsible for building more Chinese schools than any other education ministers.

But wait if you're more disgusted, one of the most honorable BN mps I've known Datuk Paduka Chew Mei Fun has just blown off all my respect for her telling the Chinese they cannot afford another May 13 incident if there is not enough Chinese representatives in Barisan National.

Here is translation from China Press:

China Press, January 21, 2008 (Monday) Page A11.

Petaling Jaya, Jan 20 - MP for Petaling Jaya Utara Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said that although the voters in Petaling Jaya Utara are very supportive of Barisan Nasional, she is worried that voters may be misled by the Opposition’s “checking Chinese with Chinese” statement.

She refuted Opposition claims that voters can vote for the Opposition to teach UMNO a lesson, as well as to check UMNO’s power within the BN, but in actual fact, the move will result in “checking Chinese with Chinese”.

She stressed, “If there is insufficient Chinese representation in the Barisan Nasional, it is not a good thing, the Chinese community cannot afford another May 13 incident.”

She said that MCA under the leadership of Ong Ka Ting is keen to establish a healthy political culture, in order to give voters better service.

Chew Mei Fun is also the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development and the Deputy Chairman of Wanita MCA. As the head of the MAC Crisis Relief Squad, she launched the Squad’s first mobile clinic today. Her comments were made when she was asked about MCA President Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Ting’s endorsement of her to defend her parliamentary seat of Petaling Jaya Utara.

She said she was grateful for the president’s trust in her and will strive to work even harder.

When asked about her preparations for the election, she said she has been working since the day she was elected.


Would Chinese voters back a party that has shameless align themselves to a Malay Nazi party which relentlessly spits them in their back? Would they want to vote a party that treated a disgraced Health Minister as a hero? No need to call Captain Obvious for now.
