Ooh la la, what have we go here: Chua Soi Lek has quit as MCA deputy chief while seven other MCA central committee members are expected to resign as well, according to a tweet from the Insider.
Khairy had earlier twittered, “Major MCA announcement at 2pm. Positive development, we hope.”
This could be an attempt to force fresh elections for the party leadership, with Soi Lek perhaps teaming up with Tiong Lai to oust Tee Keat. Tiong Lai is expected to hold a press conference anytime now.
So do you consider this as a positive development or a negative one – or just plain irrelevant?
Perhaps the BN can now focus on putting its own house in order?

Actually I was wondering when this was going to happen earlier. Its the logical thing to do for CSL and Liow. OTK is done and all he can do is cause CSL and Liow to fight later on. This is feudalism and until UMNO change, its natural behaviour on part of the feudal lords..

This is indeed a NOBLE & POSITIVE move!!!
Unlike DAP of which only know how to TALK, BLAME & GIVE EXCUSES, I see this as a GENUINE effort by MCA to “Revamp & Reinvent” (not for themselves but for the entire Malaysian Chinese community)
Bravo CHUA SOI LEK!!! This move by you & the other 13 CC members truly showed you & team put PARTY & CHINESE interest before self. HATS OFF!!!
Should you continue & pursue via this NOBLE way….even LIM KIT SIANG & LIM GUAN ENG will have no choice but to hide in their closet (let alone DAP closing shop).
Once again…CLAP, CLAP, CLAP….BRAVO!!!

Kian Ye,
Once UMNO opens its doors to all, by year end, MCA, MIC, Gerakan and all mosquito parties in BN will become history!
Chua Soi Lek, always aspires to be a star, and you cannot deny the fact that he made himself a superstar and the “action” in, in his last episode, was a Malaysian blockbuster of all time (in the bedroom of course)!
In the last GE, Gerakan said “Reinvent” and Penangnites responded by voting in a new PR Government! When Tan Sri Phang wanted to reveal WKS role in the PKFZ fiasco, Wee had his lawyers stopped him in the midst of Phang doing so. Then he went to the school where Phang’s children were studying and asked for the place of Phang’s residence or hideout! Hideous moves… is it not? What is the motive?
Entire Chinese community, Kian Ye? Come on, how can when 85% of the community are with the DAP or PKR? MCA has 10% and Gerakan has five percent of the Chinese votes! Gerakan K, please can you verify the above? No, the MCA can never win the trusts of the Chinese community anymore, especially, with the back stabbings, the PKFZ and the way OTK had been treated, as he is the only good man left in the MCA.
The latest moves by CSL contradicted himself absolutely if you refer to all his past press conferences! His desire to be the President and to reap what he can while he still can, besides, women, wine and songs! I think, the move by CSL had split MCA even further, beyond repair, as the backstabbings had gone too far!
LGE and LKS, had now moved beyond the Chinese community, it had always been a multi racial party, but, the propaganda of UMNO Baru, succeeded in making the Malays believe it is a Chinese party! Just look at the numbers of non Malays parliamentarians and assemblymen from DAP, it makes one smile with hopes! Now with PAS and PKR actively supporting DAP, it will become even stronger, and truly multi racial!
Anyway, Kian Ye, this is my views and opinions only, let us forget UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan etc, let us join hands to get rid of racial politics! Even UMNO had realized that and it will be opening up, and everyone can be an UMNO member once the resolution is passed in their Assembly later this year! We need to thank PKR, DAP and PAS for this.
Cheers!

Do ya think I’m sexy Rod Chua is clearly aiming for the no. 1 spot again. He can sit but OTK can’t stand, or is it he can stand but OTK can’t…for the presidency?
Our Rod can sure stand, I hear. Maybe he’s on alkaline batteries, like the drumming and marching teddy bear that can go on and on.
That’s staying power for you.

If we can be an UMNO member, why bother to be an MCA, MIC, Gerakan and all the other mosquito parties? Agree? There is no way MCA, MIC, Gerakan can survive once UMNO opens up its membership, Either close shop or merge into UMNO, or move over to the PR for political survival!

Kian Ye & Gerakan K,
For someone so tainted in a sex scandal and has to rely on the crutches of Najib and UMNO, it would be a grave mistake if one thinks that CSL is resigning for the interest of MCA. In fact it (appears to be) a plan right from the start by Najib to put his good boy CSL in the MCA Presidency so as to put a stop to OTK genuine effort in pursuing the mother of all corrupters in the Port Klang scandal that (may allegedly) have involved (some) of the UMNOputra.
When CSL was DP, his conflict with OTK arises from being not appointed a minister and was later sacked. The MCA EGM although reinstate him as a member did not reinstate him as Deputy President. It was left to his master Najib and the ROS to reinstate him and Liow being the shortest MCA DP, just like any MCA chicken could not object and has to bear with the OTK – CSK marriage set up by Najib. Liow and 13 others resignation fail to shake these 2 (allies) and Najib thought that with CSL happily giving him the love, OTK (may) relent… and stop pursuing the PKFZ scandal. But alas no, CSL still could satisfy OTK and Najib (may) now act before the PKFZ scandal blow up. He (allegedly) than tell CSL, hey I will give you another (ally) and this time you must surely satisfy him. And so the marriage of convenience with CSL and Liow started. And I believe it will last for the time being as CSL and Liow will definitely go for 1 & 2. And so the objective of CSL to become MCA President will be realized through his (alleged) master and crutches Najib/UMNO

CHUA SOI LEK certainly know how to play his political cards correctly. With this newly declared move….he is able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
1) Revamp, reinvent & give a new lease of life to MCA.
2) Enable him to gain the reputation as a noble leader who cares for MCA & the entire Malaysian Chinese rather than his own self interest.
Whichever way one may put it….Chua Soi Lek is indeed a leader who is hard to crack & defeat. Perhaps, DAP leaders are (worried) now upon hearing this piece of positive news.

Now anyone can deal direct with the regime so it’s irrelevant now who is who in the party (coalition).
It’s more direct and cost cutting thus saving all the “agency’s fees” and time saving too. They learned from the recent election that the coaliton was just a spent-force so ada tak ada serupa juga.
After all when come the time for next election , the regime (might) just distribute “ang-pow” to all regardless black or white as long as you give them the vote.

Anil,
Really give up on all these politicians, whether they are from UMNO, MIC, MCA and Gerakan or PKR!
The temptations of power,ringgits, women, wine and songs are just too much for these people to resist! Looks like there are bigger power at play, and we can kiss PKFZ revelations of the PKFZ scandal goodbye! 12.5 billion!
Very very frustrated with all these politicians! Had been helping out Nibong Tebal, Parit Buntar, Bandar Baru, Bagan Serai and lastly Bukit Gantang! Of the five, only two from PAS can be trusted and relied upon! What is there to say? All these are neighbouring Parliamentary constituencies, but, out of five, three bolted and succumbed (to ringgit notes??), and they are all from the PKR! Frustrated is it not? I think in the next GE, must not engage PR workers to do all those hard work and wasting precious monies! Just be a silent supporter and the disappointments will not be that painful!

I told you so many times already, Ibrahim Ali, from UMNO, joined S46, left S46, joined UMNO Baru, got sacked, contested as an independent, thrashed in 2004, begged with TGNA to let him contest under PAS, TGNA took pity on him and allow him to do so, and this King Frog, betrayed TGNA immediately after he won under a PAS ticket! He never was a PAS member at anytime, Please correct me if I am wrong. Do you get me now, my dear Gerakan K. Do not act like KL always, ok?
What kind of quality do you see in King Frog, bro? Why do you admire him so much? Look at the damage he has done to UMNO through PERKASA? Now to preempt the damage, UMNO has decided to open up to all after their Assembly end of this year! Trust my words bro, MCA, MIC, Gerakan will vanish and will perhaps asked to merge into UMNO la. We got to thank PKR, PAS and DAP for saying no to racial politics. PAS wanted to open up, UMNO’s …. shrunk, immediately they wanted to open up faster than PAS. PAS is the smarter political animal bro.
This MCA leaders all BS only, twist and turn, backstabbing each other, you see the poor President today, do not even have enough quorum, how can like that? Anyway, do not want to talk about MCA la. Useless. Too many et thou Brute!, ask William Shakespeare! Do not understand Mandarin and Chinese history, but, I think Chinese community hate turncoats and hypocrites la! Like being an UMNO agent, act as though supporting PR, but trying to split the strong DAP from cooperating with PAS! They know DAP is such a strong partner for PAS and PR!

Now if only those amongst the Chua SL and his gang who are ADUNs or MPs had the guts to declare themselves INDEPENDANTS, that would have been a much more worthwhile thunderbolt.
A thunderbolt which may rock Najib himself even.
Of course, there may be a price to pay – those with Cabinet posts, government positions and appointments to Boards of GLCs and BN-friendly companies may lose their positions and the benefits they bring.
(And come the next GE, they may also find themselves in a difficult position, competing against the BN and Pakatan machineries. Then again, if their performance as Independants to be good enough, their chances of re-election may be considerable. BN and/or Pakatan may well be wooing them at that time.)
But if they truly believe in a fight for a better Malaysia, declaring themselves Independant would allow them to vote as their individual conscience directs them to.
Whether a certain motion is BN or Pakatan backed, they can vote for the nation’s sake.

The Evil BN/Umno regime which MCA is a part of continues to persecute Christians in Malaysia with its racist and bigoted agenda. Any right thinking Christian would feel hypocritical to attend a function organized by a BN component party when issues like the desecration of the Host by the Al Islam journalist has been swept under the carpet by the Umno compliant AG. What about the banning of the use of ‘Allah’ by Christians and the confiscation of the Malay Bible and Christian literature, the forced conversion of Christian children (in mixed marriages) to Islam, body snatching cases, the Lina Joy case and the difficulty to obtain permits to build Churches. Why would Christians attend a function organized by a political party that accepts and supports a leader (VP Chua Soi Lek) who is an adulterer. These so-called ‘Christians’ from the Full Gospel Business Men Fellowship have to worship on Sundays in Hotels and shopping complexes as they can’t obtain permits to build churches.

Ha ha ha, when i read that in the Chinese paper that now Chua and Liow are joining hands to oust Ong, it just proves one thing, that is, I have been right all the while to say that MCA politicians are all self seekers.
Look at Ling Liong Sik, how wealthy is he and his son now ???
Ong Tee Keat was very respectable before he was the MCA’s president. But look at him now. He said even if he were to lose a vote, he would resign. But did he?
Not only that he didnt resign as he promised but turned around and worked with Chua when he wanted to get rid of Chua. Why?
Everybody is fighting for that CHAIR = KERUSI. Because it is not an ordinary chair but it is a GOLDEN chair = Kerusi EMAS as it guarantees riches and wealth.
Dig… dig… dig… BN politicians are digging the wealth of the country away… and the sad thing is, still there are ordinary people walking on the street care to vote for them. How sad!!!
Phang exposed the misdeeds of Wee. If the latter has nothing to hide as he said so, why does he need a gag order to shut the mouth of Phang???
Look at that Chew Mei Fun… Ong Tee Keat gave her the post of Wanita Chief in MCA and she turned around and joined the rest to attack Ong as well.
Tell me who is credible in MCA now ???

Talking of Michael Chong, I believed he is more concern of the Ahlong than the people who approach him. Ah long is an illegal entity. We should not be negotiating with them. If there is any report of harrassment by the Along it should be reported to the police and for them to wipe out this menace once and for all. By negotiating with the Along he is (perceived to be) further condoning their activities and when problems crops up between the lender and borrower who are mainly gamblers, they will said On Yes we have a negotiator in Michael Chong.

A few points for you to ponder:
- Do you really think that chinese who seek MCA help are MCA supporters?
- Yes, you may be right by saying that people are seeking MCA help whenever they are facing problem. But you cannot deny that MCA need this in order to make them relevant, especially on issues of education and funding etc.
- I myself have join a few community services, and yes we may have seek MCA help to facilitate our events, or some funding. But how many of us are doing this voluntarily. We are actually squeezing our … begging for their help, and I can tell you non of us are MCA supporters.
