How unprincipled and low can you go, Chua Soi Lek, as MCA President?

Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:56 PM PDT

Lim Kit Siang

Any Malaysian given three answers to the question: Who made the allegation that DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia would invariably name Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian and UMNO although not necessarily in the same order.

Nobody would have named the MCA let alone the MCA President, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek as it is so wild, absurd and irresponsible a charge no sane or reasonable person would make.

One could disagree with Chua Soi Lek to date but so far he has kept to certain standards in his public statements and speeches.

But Chua Soi Lek's allegation in Kota Kinabalu yesterday that DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia must rank as among the most despicable and dastardly of lies in Malaysian politics designed to help UMNO ultras to scare Malay voters.

Chua is doing both his race and nation a great disservice in making such a baseless, despicable and dastardly charge.

Chua could not possibly believe that he could deceive Chinese voters in Malaysia into believing his lie – as DAP is not a new political party but has a 45-year history and record to prove that DAP leaders had never espoused a Chinese Malaysia but had always been committed to a Malaysian Malaysia where the diverse races, religions, cultures and regions can find unity and harmony through fair and just nation-building policies.

The declaration of DAP leaders ring down the past four and a half decades loud and clear: the DAP does not want a Chinese Malaysia, Malay Malaysia, Indian Malaysia, Iban Malaysia or Kadazan Malaysia but a Malaysian Malaysia!

Right from the very beginning in 1966, DAP had held forth a vision of a Malaysia for all Malaysians, where every citizen identify himself or herself as Malaysian first of all, bound by a common nationality and transcending their racial, religious and cultural differences.

This was why in the first general election contested by the DAP in 1969 - followed in subsequent general elections - DAP fielded a multi-racial slate of candidates, Malay, Chinese and Indians with two Malays elected as State Assemblymen and more Indian MPs elected on the DAP ticket than the Malaysian Indian Congress!

This was also why DAP leaders have no hesitation in accepting the definition propounded by Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak's 1Malaysia policy of "a nation where every Malaysian perceives himself or herself as Malaysian first, and by race, religion, geographical region or socio-economic background second and where the principles of 1Malaysia are woven into the economic, political and social fabric of society".

In March last year, I challenged all the Barisan Nasional Cabinet Ministers to declare in Parliament that they accept the 1Malaysia definition of nation-building – but not a single BN Minister, including the four MCA Ministers, dared to contradict the Deputy Prime Minister and UMNO Deputy President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin when he declared that he was Malay first and Malaysian second!

This was why Najib's 1Malaysia was quickly exposed as a hollow one, nothing more than a public relations exercise and a 1Malaysia circus mired in 1Malaysia Tupperware, 1Malaysia T-shirt, 1Malaysia Mineral Water, 1Malaysia Burger and other 1Malaysia goodies.

Malaysian voters regardless of race who had voted and supported the DAP through the ten general elections from 1969 to 2008 did so because of their support for the DAP's vision of a democratic, clean, fair, just and united Malaysian nation of diverse races and religions, and not for a Chinese Malaysia or a "little China" coined by Chua.

Chua cannot possibly believe that he could influence a single Chinese voter with the lie that the DAP wants to create a "little China" in Malaysia.

Why then is he making such an irresponsible allegation, with the MCA newspaper the Star giving it full coverage?

The purpose is clear – to provide grist to the ultra UMNO mills like Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian in their campaign to smear and demonise the DAP as anti-Malay and anti-Islam to scare the Malay voters from supporting and voting for the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat.

Already the UMNO propaganda mills, particularly Utusan and Berita, face a crisis of credibility with the law of diminishing returns working against them – with more and more Malays disbelieving their lies about the DAP being anti-Malay and anti-Islam, with their tall tales of a DAP plot to create a Christian Malaysia and appoint a Christian Prime Minister.

Now, these Umno mills of lies and poisonous propaganda will get a breather as they will be able to quote the MCA President himself with the latest despicable and dastardly lie against the DAP of wanting to create a "little China" in Malaysia.

How unprincipled and low can you go, Chua Soi Lek, as MCA President?

 

MCA warlords go for ‘political insurance’

Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:26 PM PDT

 

By Lee Kee

ALL is not well within the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition parties as party warlords start consolidating their alignment with Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

Coalition party leaders, especially those from the MCA, had started aligning themselves with the deputy BN chairman in anticipation of Muhyiddin's expected rise.

"This buying of 'political insurance' is necessary following growing scandals and bumbling handling of issues by the Najib (Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak) administration ," said a MCA little bird.

"Have you not noticed how deputy president Liow Tiong Lai and youth chief Wee Ka Siong are scrambling to be seen in the company of Muhyiddin as frequently as possible?

"Both of them actually have their own agenda but the pressing need is to prepare for Najib's possible exit.

"As for president Dr Chua Soi Lek, it is a shoo-in. Chua's long-standing political base in Johor has given him the edge in relations with Muhyiddin.

"Not only that. Chua also has strong ties with Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein, also another Johor-based politician.

"Much speculation has been posted in blogs regarding Chua-Hishammuddin's ties linked to Ecovest top brass. Ecovest is diversified company with much business interest in Johor, especially in Iskandar," said the MCA insider.

The party insider said the political development and efforts to be seen in the good books of Muhyiddin showed the trio were prepared dump Najib and declare their support for the rise of the deputy premier. 

 

MoCS rally: Police demands met, Siah to meet CP

Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:20 PM PDT

 

By The MoCS secretariate

KUCHING: The Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) said today that it has fulfilled the requirements of the police to hold its 'Walk for Democracy and Reform' on August 13 in the state capital.

"We remain hopeful for a police permit. We have listened to the police's advice and had agreed to and fulfilled their two conditions," MoCS leader Francis Paul SIah said in a statement.

According to Siah, the police would only allow a stationary rally with no march or procession and that the application for the permit must be made through a registered organization.

"We have agreed that we would only station ourselves at the Museum Ground near the Cenotaph where we would hold a wreath-laying ceremony in honour of the fallen heroes of Sarawak.

There will only be five speakers, including two former deputy education ministers, Datuk Salleh Jafaruddin and Datuk Bujang Ulis. Multi-religious prayer sessions will also be conducted and participants will also sing patriotic songs.

On the second condition, Siah revealed that the MoCS Organisation has been registered and was now licensed to operate legally.

Siah said he would pay a courtesy call on the new Sarawak Commissioner of Police (CP), Datuk Mortadza Nazarene, on Wednesday and also to hear what he has to say.

"While we have heeded the advice from the police, I hope they would also listen to our voices. We have assured them that the event will be peaceful. We must believe and trust in the strength and discipline of Sarawakians that we are a mature and non-violent citizenry," he said.

"We expect the police to be professional and they have to act within the law too. Hopefully, they would not take instructions blindly from political leaders in Sarawak," Siah added.

The MoCS leader revealed that the 10-point declaration which will be unveiled on Aug 13 will be the movement's blue-print for democratic reforms in Sarawak.

"The state must move forward. Because of bad politics and corrupt leaders, we remain stagnant. Many Sarawakians only know of poverty, a low standard of living, a sub-standard education and a poor health system. Many have lamented that their only mean to survive in Sarawak is to strike a lottery. And this is not a joke!" said Siah.

The August 13 event was originally planned as an anti-Taib Mahmud rally but the organizers have wisely decided to tone it down to a 'Walk for Democracy and Reform' in order to appear less confrontational and  more civil during the holy month of Ramadan.

"Although the original scope of Aug 13 has somewhat changed, the objectives remain," Siah insisted.

The MoCS leader said the number of participants at the event, dubbed the Red Rally, was not important.

"Achieving our long-term objectives for Sarawaik is paramount. We do not coerce or pay people to attend. They will have to come of their own free will," he explained.

Saying that the theme of the event is 'We Love Sarawak', Siah said it would be unimaginable for anyone not to support good governance and democratic reform.

"We organise this because we love Sarawak.  MoCS is bigger than bickering. We will stay focused on the big picture and the big picture is to engage our fellow citizens into building a state that has fallen behind over many years of loose and carefree management into a prosperous one for future generations.

"We also want politicians to realize that getting elected marks the beginning of their journey to serve Sarawak, not to serve themselves. Serving the people and state is their sacred duty", he stressed.

Siah said that Sarawakians are also known to be more reserved and timid than their fellow citizens in the peninsula 'but they must now dare to stand up for their rights and be counted".

The Red Rally on Aug 13 will be an awakening for Sarawakians that it is actually people's power which decides and charts the destiny of their nation and not a few powerful politicians, he said.

"The people of Sarawak must come out now and publicly declare, 'No, we are not afraid anymore and we will no longer be cowed by the politics of fear and intimidation.'

 "This is also one important objective of Aug 13," Siah said.

Kenyataan Akhbar Mengenai Klip Video “Sembang Rakyat – Kedai 1 Malaysia”

Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:16 PM PDT

Oleh Zairil Khir Johari

Saya selaku Setiausaha Politik kepada YAB Setiausaha Agung Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP) mengutuk dan mengecam hebat klip video "Sembang Rakyat – Kedai 1 Malaysia" yang boleh didapati di laman web Youtube.

Dalam klip video tersebut, yang merupakan hasil muatan naik pengguna Youtube yang bernama 'Kawasaki9722', DAP didakwa bersekongkol dengan ahli-ahli peniaga Cina untuk menaikkan harga barang di negara ini demi menimbulkan rasa kemarahan rakyat terhadap Kerajaan Barisan Nasional.

Ini merupakan satu penipuan dan fitnah ke atas DAP yang bukan sahaja langsung tidak berasas tetapi berniat jahat serta berunsur hasutan.

Seperti yang sedia maklum, antara faktor utama yang menyebabkan kenaikan harga barang di negara ini adalah pengurangan subsidi minyak, gas dan barang keperluan seperti gula. Subsidi-subsidi tersebut merupakan kawalan Kerajaan Persekutuan dan tidak ada kena mengena dengan pihak lain. Di samping itu, syarikat yang mengawal industri gula pula adalah Felda, sebuah syarikat berkaitan kerajaan (GLC).

Faktor-faktor lain yang menyumbang kepada inflasi adalah kuasa pasaran antarabangsa yang berada diluar kawalan, dan juga ketidakcekapan dalam urustadbir ekonomi negara kita. Sebagai contoh, walaupun subsidi gas yang jumlahnya berbilion-bilion ringgit setiap tahun diberi kepada Penjana Tenaga Elektrik Bebas (IPP), tarif elektrik di negara kita makin meningkat. Bukankah tujuan pemberian subsidi itu untuk mengurangkan beban rakyat?

Satu lagi contoh polisi yang menguntungkan syarikat besar dan membebankan rakyat adalah monopoli beras, yang dikawal oleh Bernas, sebuah lagi GLC. Oleh kerana monopoli yang mengekang pasaran beras ini, hasilnya harga beras impot di Malaysia adalah lebih tinggi berbanding harga beras impot di Singapura!

Hakikatnya kenaikan harga barang dan inflasi berlaku kerana ketirisan dan kepincangan dalam dasar dan urustadbir ekonomi negara kita. Justeru, kebertanggunjawaban bagi masalah inflasi harus dipikul oleh Kerajaan Persekutuan dan bukan mana-mana pihak lain, terutamanya DAP.

Dengan itu, bagaimana pula DAP boleh dikatakan terlibat walaupun sedikit? Hipotesis sebegitu langsung tidak memasuki akal dan tidak akan diterima oleh rakyat Malaysia.

Kami percaya bahawa klip video tersebut adalah satu rancangan musuh politik DAP dan Pakatan Rakyat yang bertujuan untuk memecah belahkan rakyat melalui propaganda perkauman yang sempit. Berdasarkan kualiti terbitan klip video tersebut, jelas ia bukan terbitan sembarangan tetapi telah dibuat secara profesional dengan peralatan dan peruntukan yang mencukupi.

Dalam erti kata lain, klip video ini adalah angkara pihak-pihak tertentu yang mempunyai sumber yang mendalam dan yang sudah kekeringan modal. Satu-satunya cara yang tinggal untuk mereka adalah untuk menggunakan kaedah yang berbahaya yang bertujuan untuk menghasut dan mengapi-apikan sentimen perkauman.

Laporan polis akan dibuat pada hari ini, diikuti dengan aduan kepada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC). Kami berharap pihak berkuasa akan mengambil tindakan siasatan yang segera serta tindakan susulan yang sewajarnya ke atas penerbit dan penyebar klip video tersebut supaya tidak berlaku kekeliruan dan kesalahfahaman antara kaum di negara ini.

Arrogant Chua thinks Chinese are ‘political idiots’

Posted: 07 Aug 2011 02:10 PM PDT

 

By Lee Kee

The Bernama report titled "Chinese fighting Chinese, DAP will never form the govt, says Soi Lek" insults my intelligence and those who are able to identify politicians who dish out pure rubbish.

Let me decipher the report that quoted the Malaysian porn-president Dr Chua Soi Lek.

Dr Chua said: "There is no way to create a 'small China in Malaysia as it is not good for the country."

Whoever said that? The DAP? We, the Chinese? It is the same type of moron (Utusan Malaysia) that said Christians are trying to install a Christian prime minister.

After more than half a century of Merdeka, it is clear that there is no way for any other race to be the prime minister of Malaysia other than the Malays.

The Federal Constitution almost ensures this because the appointment of the PM must be endorsed by the King (the Yang di-Pertuan Agong). This is unlikely to happen, unless suddenly all Malaysians are united and think only as Malaysians, not race.

As it is, even our deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has said that he is Malay First, Malaysian Second. The joke is even prime minister Najib Abdul Razak is not prepared to say he is Malaysian First, Malay second to defend his meaningless slogon, 1Malaysia.

Dr Chua! You are the idiot, not the Chinese.

Chua said: "MCA accepted the fact that Malaysia was a multiracial country and that what it wanted to see was moderation, not just tolerance but also acceptance of the fact that this was a multiracial country."

Yeah! Please tell Umno, Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa to stop the racial and seditious slurs aimed at created racial disharmony. If you believe what you say, why have you not transformed MCA into a multi-racial party? BN-Umno is the champion of Ketuanan Melayu and you, Dr Chua and MCA are part of that too. You condone and support. Please go and tell Umno and Perkasa to be more tolerant and stop the racial and seditious slurs. They are doing a disservice to Malaysians and the country that we love. They are destroying our future, with support from MCA and Dr Chua.

Dr Chua lamented the DAP's strategy in adopting a 'Chinese fighting against Chinese' clash towards MCA in winning the hearts and minds of the people.

So? Is Dr Chua telling us to discard democracy and the right of the people to speak and choose? What a moron.

It is such morons in the MCA, Gerakan, MIC and other non-Malay Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition parties that Malaysians are in the present political cess pool. They do not contribute constructively. They just kiss the feet of Umno warlords and hope for the crumbs to slowly, but never, turn to gold.

This quote, I cannot stomach: "So, DAP has to combine with other parties dependent on the support of other races. In this case, they chose PAS and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), so whatever DAP's promises to the community if they come into power will be diluted because the other component parties would have to look after the interest of other races."

Is he talking about MCA in BN? Either he thinks we Malaysians are idiots or he is the idiot. Dr Chua, do you know what is a mirror? Go and take a look into one.

Soi Lek said Barisan Nasional (BN) was not perfect but Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was trying his best to transform the country's economy and that Sabahans should support this initiative.

Najib can't even say he is Malaysian First to defend his 1Malaysia and you expect him to deliver? The IQ of Malaysians cannot be that low?
