FMT LETTER: From Sebastian Loon

The "WikiLeak: Ong Tee Keat admits Chinese marginalised" blogged by Uppercaise and then posted by Malaysia Today on Aug 19 shows how important it is for Malaysians to rid the country of garbage politicians.

It also shows there are garbage politicians in the Barisan Nasional (BN) as well as in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR). However, clearly there is more garbage in the BN, especially in the MCA.

MCA leaders are so rotten to the core that they will not hesitate to sell their mothers to realise their personal agenda which is always about material benefits that come with political power.

In the Wikileak report quoted in a US diplomatic cable in 2006 and attributed to US Embassy's political officer Mark Clark, the then MCA vice-president was one of the few ministerial level Chinese politicians who refused to deny publicly or privately the fact that Chinese Malaysians are marginalised.

Clark reported that Ong acknowledged "of course we are marginalised, big business to small stall owners know that – but MCA cannot admit it".

So, when pressed by reporters for a public response to Singapore leader Lee Kuan Yew's accusation that Malaysia marginalises the Chinese community, Ong responded with a Chinese proverb: "Whether the water in the tea cup is hot or cold, he who drinks it knows best."

This is in contrast with the bumbling responses of MCA president Chua Soi Lek and his deputy Liow Tiong Lai with regards to the shameful police attack on innocent citizens during the peaceful Bersih 2.0 protest in Tung Shin Hospital.

Chua and Liow are now not only exposed as liars when they tried to side the brutal police by denying there was no attack in the hospital, they are confirmed garbage politicians who cannot be trusted as community leaders.

Bagi sesetangah orang, nombor-nombor di atas mungkin dianggap ajaib dan boleh membawa tuah. Namun, bagi Lai Run-jiao yang berusia 81 tahun, bayangan 11 boleh menjadi sesuatu yang ngeri.

Mengikut laporan temu ramah sebuah akhbar bahasa Cina baru-baru ini, wanita tua yang berasal dari Sungai Titi itu mempunyai pengalaman yang cukup pahit dan menakutkan ketika berusia 11 tahun. Pada tahun itu, 11 orang ahli keluarga termasuk 4 orang adiknya dibunuh askar Jepun di depan matanya, dan dia sendiri pula ditetak dan ditikam 11 kali sebelum rumahnya dibakar.

Nenek Lai bernasib baik kerana diselamatkan, "Seorang lelaki meluru ke dalam dan mendukung saya keluar dari rumah. Makcik saya tak henti-henti merayu kepada saya untuk membawanya keluar, tapi saya cedera parah dan tidak dapat bergerak langsung…"

Lai juga tunjukkan kesan luka tikaman askar Jepun di belakang badannya kepada wartawan. Katanya, babak askar Jepun menangkap dan membunuh orang sering muncul dalam mimpinya setelah bertahun-tahun.

Sememangnya, pengalaman seperti Nenek Lai senantiasa diingati anak-anak Malaysia, terutamanya di kalangan ramai orang Cina, sehingga ada yang mempunyai tanggapan negatif terhadap orang Jepun, walaupun kekejaman yang dilakukan di Malaya pada waktu itu hanya mencerminkan sikap dan niat golongan imperialis dan bukan seluruh rakyat Jepun.

Tanggapan sebegitu berbeza daripada banyak orang Melayu yang melihat Jepun sebagai ilham untuk menentang penjajah British bagi mencapai kemerdekaan. Tambahan pula, penjajah Jepun telah menyerapkan segolongan orang Melayu ke dalam pentadbiran tempatan dan meneruskan malah mempergiatkan taktik 'pecah dan perintah' yang digunakan penjajah British sebelum itu.

Sungguhpun terdapat juga banyak orang Melayu yang menjadi mangsa kekejaman askar Jepun, kisah pahit itu kurang diperdengarkan.

Hasil daripada penjajahan, masyarakat kita menjadi kompleks. Pengalaman yang berbeza (ada kalanya serupa tetapi tidak dipertembungkan) menzahirkan tafsiran yang berlainan terhadap fakta sejarah, malah fikiran yang berselisih tentang apa yang sedang berlaku. Kadang-kadang jurang tafsiran dan fikiran ini dibesarkan lagi oleh adat, agama serta budaya yang berlainan.

Walau bagaimanapun, perbezaan atau percanggahan itu barangkali mampu direntasi dan ditangani apabila pelbagai pihak menunjukkan keikhlasan, saling menghormati dan menghayati dalam mencari penyelesaian atau muafakat.

Malangnya, ada pihak yang melihat perbezaan dan percanggahan tersebut sebagai topang kuasa dan kepentingan mereka. Segala usaha untuk merentasi jurang tersebut dilihat sebagai hakisan kepentingan mereka dan akan cuba dilumpuhkan. Mereka kerap kali bertopengkan wira agama dan bangsa dengan menggunakan ejen untuk mengadu-dombakan sesuatu, menjadi batu api, meluahkan kata-kata ekstrem seperti sanggup berdarah atau membakar, padahal mereka mempunyai agenda sendiri, yang diperlagakan itu rakyat jelata.

Oleh itu, penting untuk kita tenang dan mempunyai minda yang siuman, membuat penilaian secara bijak. Bakar gereja dan simbah cat pada surau bukan gelagat perjuangan yang sahih, tetapi perbuatan manusia yang tidak bertamadun.

Menjelang Hari Kemerdekaan dan Hari Negara yang mulia, saya mendoakan kesejahteraan negara, bersama-sama kita membentuk masyarakat kita menjadi indah dan bahagia.

Semoga pada hari 11-11-11 ataupun suatu tarikh sebelum atau selepasnya, rakyat menjadi penentu bagi memberikan masa depan yang cerah kepada negara kita.

Malaysians in the U.S. gather to discuss the movement for political reform

By Generation 709

Malaysians living in the United States gathered in New York City to discuss their ongoing concerns for potential political changes in the Post-Bersih era. Yong Kai Ping, the chief editor of the Malaysiakini Chinese site, was invited to speak about the latest developments in their homeland. He highlighted that overseas citizens are always the mother of revolution.

Therefore Yong encouraged Malaysians overseas to contribute their part to political reforms by mobilizing any resources that are available to them.

The talk was held in New York City on August 18, 2011 by Generation 709 in the United States. The event began with a screening of a video from the Bersih 2.0 rally produced by Malaysiakini. Yong pointed out that the Bersih 2.0 march was a demonstration organized without a centralized command structure, with many participants from younger generations.

He described how the momentum of the movement had been maintained by rally participants sharing their stories online. He identified challenges for the future to articulate specific demands to the government and to ensure that reforms are followed through. He warns that "we really shouldn't depend on royal commission itself" since most of these royal commissions around the world "haven't delivered any satisfactory result".

Yong also emphasized that about 40,000 Malaysians are living overseas. Therefore, it is important to know "how to organize, to be able to speak out and to play the role of a significant pressure group" from overseas.

Many audience members shared their personal experiences of how they were reconnected to Malaysian politics after many years of living abroad. One of the audiences reflected on how his family members truly love their country but have been apathetic to Malaysian politics as they have no idea how to play their part in reform. Many of them who studied overseas are also reluctant to go back to Malaysia as they feel frustrated about the politics and policies there.

On July 9, 2011, BERSIH 2.0 rallies were held in Washington DC, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Portland. Generation 709 in the United States is formed to maintain BERSIH 2.0 Movement's momentum, and Bersihans' commitment.

To continue connecting overseas Malaysians to the political situation at home, Generation 709 in the United States will be organizing further events across the United States, such as YELLOW gatherings and voter registration sessions in seven cities on September 17 (Sat), Malaysia Day weekend.

Tan Kay Hock is a liability to PM because of his big mouth bragging, and PM is a liability now to Tan Kay Hock. He lost the project thanks to you.

By Eye M Fox

Dear YM Pete,

You remember the loud mouth bullshitter Tan Kay Hock making his proud and confident announcement in the recent press that his George Kent was sure of winning the Ampang LRT contract? He jumped the gun and now he should be guilty of violating SC's rules by disclosing bullshit as George Kent is a public listed company. He gave false hopes to his shareholders, another violation of trust.

He might have paid his way to the project, but after your diclosure of his dirty tricks, and many rakyat must have written to the PM, the project went to MRCB.

Tan Kay Hock has been using his golfing partner PM to get what he wants, but now this has become a classic case of Twin Liability. Tan Kay Hock is a liability to PM because of his big mouth bragging, and PM is a liability now to Tan Kay Hock. He lost the project thanks to you.

It would appear our Tan Kay Hock is changing horses, jumping over to Muhyuddin and Chua Soi Lek the Johor Mafia because PM is a liability. A little recollection quickly tells us, the rakyat, why Tan Kay Hock is dumping PM. Your article some time ago did mention Tan Kay Hock demanding RM500 million from Chinese Rail (200 million for Rosmah, the rest for himself). So to Tan Kay Hock, the name Rosmah and PM is bad news. He moved to the Johor Mafia to get what he aimed earlier, but you spoiled it and saved the rakyat millions, Pete.

With his new found friend Muhyiddin, it means that Syed Mokhtar is also now working with Tan Kay Hock because everyone knows that Syed Mokhtar will dump PM and join Muhyiddin since it was Muhyuddin as Johor MB that gave Syed Mokhtar the PTP land.

I bet you Pete they will come up with a story since Soi Lek is Kong Cho Ha's boss that no need to bid lah this Chinese Rail project as long as the same RM500 million this time reaches Muhyiddin, Soi Lek and Kong Ha. Najib and Rosmah will not get a cent because Muhyiddin will backstab Najib the same way he did Pak Lah using the election as the turning point.

All said, the interest of the rakyat is never in the minds of these scoundrels. With Tan Kay Hock, one will not be surprised if he finds his way to the Agong, a nice man too will be used. Another PKFZ mega scandal, starring MCA as the lead actor and all these other poor souls in it!

To us the rakyat, you did a marvellous job by saving us from this one.

Please save us, the rakyat again, from these vermins ....

LDP back-stabbed by BN component members

Posted: 20 Aug 2011 11:28 PM PDT

Press statement of LDP Deputy President Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin at Tawau Sri Tanjung AGM, Aug 21, 2011

TAWAU: Liberal Democratic Party Deputy President Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin said in the 2008 general election, the LDP faced various challenges not just from the Opposition but within the Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

He said certain quarters from within BN "stabbed" the LDP from the back by asking the people to support and vote for the Opposition especially in Sandakan and Kudat where BN candidates were from the LDP.

Chin, who was the LDP campaign director during the 12th general election, said certain village heads were directed by senior leaders to vote against the BN candidates from the LDP.

"This back-stabbing incident is an open secret; the prepetrators wanted LDP to lose in all the four seats it contested under the BN banner during the 12th general election. However, the outcome of the polls has shown that the people dislike this kind of unethical politics. Instead, LDP won and delivered all the four seats, namely the state seats of Tanjong Kapor, Karamunting and Merotai and the Sandakan parliamentary seats," he said when opening the Sri Tanjung AGM here today (Aug 28).

In Kudat, Chin said, the LDP had garthered concrete proof that Umno branch leader Haji Harun had openly asked village chiefs to vote against LDP secretary-general Datuk Teo Chee Kang, who was the BN candidate for Tg Kapor.

However, despite the back-stabbing, Chin said Teo won and delivered the seat. In fact, the outcome of the poll has shown that LDP gained rock-solid support and votes even from the non-Chinese areas, where former party supremo Tan Sri Chong Kah Kiat did not get the support in the past.

"This clearly shows that the people dislike leaders who betrayed the BN spirit of camaradeire. After the 2008 general election, we submitted our findings about the "back-stabbing" incident to the BN leadership but, alas, no action has been taken against Haji Harun.

"Haji Harun is merely a branch leader of Umno; we believe that he has the backing from certain leaders, otherwise he would not has the guts to go against the LDP," he said, adding that last year, Haji Harun "sacked" almost

half of the village heads in Tg Kapor constituency without the assemblyman's knowledge and a few of them were re-instated after the LDP's made an appeal.

"We reported the incident to the BN leadership but we're told to be patient. No action has been taken against Haji Harun until today.

"Recently, Haji Harun removed one village head, again without the knowledge of the assemblyman (Teo). This clearly shows that Haji Harun was taking orders from certain senior leaders who want LDP to lose in Kudat in the forthcoming general election. All this while, we've been very patient. We can no longer tolerate this ruthless betrayal of the BN spirit," said Chin to the thunderous applause from the floor.

In this reagrd, Chin reiterated his call on Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, being the State BN chairman and Sabah Umno chief, to act impartially by removing leaders who go against any of the BN component parties.

"We've asked the Chief Minister to remove Haji Harun but his answer was that Haji Harun is the treasurer of Umno Kudat, thus sacking him would only drive him to join the Opposition. To the LDP, this is unacceptable; Haji Harun has repeated the same mistake and is bent on destroying the LDP in Kudat.

"As the Chief Minister and Sabah Umno chief, it's only fair that Datuk Musa steps down from his posts should he fail to carry out the duties and responsibilities entrusted with him by taking an appropriate action against a small leader like Haji Harun," he pointed out. The LDP, said Chin, fully adhered to the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's advice to all BN component parties to be loyal, unite and work together and to avoid any form of disputes amongst themselves.

"But, it is a fact that there are certain problematic leaders within the BN. In fact, the Chinese community support the government transformation plan and to turn Malaysia into a high income nation to ensure better future for our next generations.

"But the people dislike problematic leaders and before it is too late we urged the BN leadership to rid the BN coalition of leaders who are corrupt and abuse their powers. Only then, all the BN component parties could cooperate and work together to ensure our victory in the 13th general election," he said.

Chin also said the LDP fully agreed with the Prime Minister that BN would select only "winnable candidates" for the forthcoming general election. Nevertheless, he reckoned that before deciding on the list of candidates, the allocation of seats among the component parties must be resolved first.

"Leaders who jumped from one BN party to another must be dropped because leaders without principle will be rejected by the people," he said, stressing that it is crucial for the BN leadership to rid the coalition of problematic leaders if the BN want to secure a fresh mandate from the masses to rule the country in the next general election.

"If problematic leaders are not remove before the next general election, it may cause friction amongst the BN component parties. And, if no change is to be taken in the present BN leadership in Sabah, it will continue to have conflict with LDP. Surely, LDP will have to fight because we don't want to become the next SUPP," he cautioned.

According to Chin, the outcome of the recent state polls in Sarawak, the Chinese majority areas in particular, should serve as a wake up call for the BN leadership in the coming general election.

He said the DAP only managed to raise one major issue by urging the people to reject the Sarawak Chief Minister and yet the opposition party nearly made a clean sweep of all the Chinese seats.

"We will not be suprise that the DAP is going to use the same issue in Sabah during the 13the general election. As such, before DAP draws up its campaign strategy, LDP will not want leader who no longer have the full support from the people to lead Sabah BN in the next polls," Chin added.

The coming general election will see a significant increase in the number of young voters, and the opposition is using the Internet to lure them.

Chin pointed out that some information provided on the Internet are true and some of the facts are being twisted and the younger generation who have access to the Internent can be easily swayed by the news provided by the new media.

"This is one of the crucial challenges that the BN need to pay serious attention to."

The BN government, Chin said, is serious in improving the livelihood but, at the same time, the prices of goods kept on rising in recent times which had impacted on the people including the working youth whose monthly earning is RM2000 and below. Thus, the Government should find ways on improving the source of income of the younger generation.

"Today we can see in many countries the younger generation are venting their anger and frustration against the government through street protest and demonstration. In Malaysia, if the government fails to address the issues and problems affecting the younger generation, we fear that they also will vent their anger and frustration through street protest and demonstration," he cautioned.

On the issue of Sabah being a "fixed deposit" to the BN, Chin suggested the BN component parties should stop thinking that the state will remain as its fixed deposit forever.

"Majority of the Sabahans are silent voters and this is why the BN government must be committed in handling and resolving pertinent issues and problems to ensure the coalition's victory in future elections," he said.

On the impending 13th general election, Chin said he does not see the benefit for the BN to call for a snap election now simply because the people have somewhat made up their mind on who to vote for.

"The BN needs not have to hurry to call for a snap election. Either its going to be held today or tomorrow does not make any difference. What's more important is that the BN should first address the issues and problems and make changes within the next one year.

"The pertinent issues and problems include arrogant attitude of certain leaders, corrpuption and abuse of power, money laundring and the process of licence applications.

"The people want the Prime Minister to take positive action in resolving these problems before the next general election. We can foresee that if these problems are resolved first, it will be easier for the BN to win the election and forms the next government," he added.
