MCAs last chance

Will Chinese as well as Malaysian electorate be simply convinced by gimmicks that can be approaching to intensify as we get closer to a elections?

COMMENT

By Koon Yew Yin
As a curtain comes down upon a Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) as well as a demise as a force in Malaysian politics, Malaysians have been being treated with colour to demonstrations of unfortunate poise by a MCA tip brass to show that they have been still relevant.

The latest is a try by MCA's Deputy President Liow Tiong Lai to strech out to Chinese electorate by charity health tips for a Chinese New Year season.

No doubt a book launch debate by a Health Minister has been widely reported in a mainstream media.

His backroom boys will substantially be graceful a minister about how clever he is in referring to a lucky number of 8888 as well as a association with wealth as well as health in reaching out to a Chinese electorate.

But will it work upon a Chinese electorate?

What Chinese electorate want
Will Chinese as well as Malaysian electorate be simply convinced by such gimmicks that can be approaching to intensify as we get closer to a elections?

My perspective is that it will not.

In fact, even MCA insiders realize that a Chinese electorate is a some-more sophisticated as well as perceptive one.

MCA maestro Woon See Chin, a former emissary preparation minister, for example, has admitted that inexhaustible hand-outs such as a RM200 smart phone remission as well as R500 1Malaysia People's bantuan would not help win back a await of an! noyed yo ung Chinese voters.

His regard that "Chinese youth have been some-more independent" as well as that "they don't rest upon any domestic parties; a little of them have never received any financial aid from a government" is loyal not only for Chinese youth though additionally for a majority of a Chinese as well as Indian choosing by cast of characters votes population.

What will a Chinese (and alternative Malaysian) electorate be shabby by?

Chinese electorate wish change. They wish a celebration that can mount up to Umno as well as a almost 60 years of self-serving politics of racism, cronyism as well as opportunism that have shop-worn a economy, busted a educational system as well as made a destiny darker for all Malaysians, especially for non-Malays.

Make a mount opposite a tip dog
How to shift a system? we have been told that guidance to MCA is same to cast of characters pearls before swine as well as that a leopard will never shift a spots.

Nevertheless we would like to offer a little recommendation to a MCA leaders as well as a supporters for a entrance elections.

According to feedback obtained from a Chinese village as well as by my appearance in domestic ceramah as well as communication with a male in a street, MCA as well as Gerakan will be wiped out as domestic parties in a elections.

This is because few if any of a candidates will be able to win sufficient votes to be inaugurated even in Umno dominated constituencies.

This misfortune box unfolding is based upon two important considerations:

• the Chinese perspective that Umno cannot as well as w! ill not shift a tough line Ketuanan Melayu as well as Ketuanan Islam ideology as well as policies that have scarred a nation as well as busted a destiny of most Chinese youth

• the ubiquitous perspective that MCA will never be allowed by Umno to be anything though a toady as well as boot-licking party

Faced with an impending catastrophic opening in a choosing that could symbol a end of a party, there is only a single choice that is available for a celebration as well as a members to pursue in between right away as well as a elections.

This choice is that MCA leaders as well as members should not await a Barisan Nasional. Of course, it is too late for a celebration as a whole to take movement to as well as make a momentous decision to get out of a BN coalition.

This historic decision should be left to another time.

But in a meantime, particular leaders as well as members can vigilance their disapproval with a approach that Umno has been running as well as ruining a nation as well as their disgust with a approach in that it has treated with colour MCA as a path dog.

Make justification now
This can be done by abstaining from taking partial in a elections as well as by not ancillary BN during a elections.

Such a decision might be difficult for a likes of a tip MCA leaders as well as executive cabinet members who have profited from lucrative contracts, commissions, dato-ships as well as tan sri-ships. But for a party's middle-level leadership, this is a right time to shift their devotion to a antithesis bloc as well as for them to work to safeguard a Pakatan victory.

Their contribution to ousting Umno from energy can come in many ways such as propelling subdivision members not to opinion blindly for BN candidates; secretly upon condition that await to antithesis candidates; alerting a NGOs monitoring a elections of a BN's unwashed tricks as well as expected abus! es; drag ging their feet upon being co-opted as a BN choosing worker; etc.

Unlike a party's leaders who have accumulated so much wealth by being cronies of Umno, a middle level as well as grassroots care have gotten crumbs whilst being kicked around.

Only by operative for shift will they be able to win back a apply oneself of a Chinese village as well as remonstrate their friends as well as young kids that they have not sole out a Chinese village by being members of MCA.

The entrance choosing provides a last possibility for MCA leaders as well as members to shift a march of story positively.

we as well as millions of Malaysians titillate them make a mount for shift by operative to safeguard that a BN loses as well as for a antithesis to take over Putrajaya.

Only in this approach can a MCA a entirely politically discredited as well as morally broke celebration make justification for a mistreat that it has inflicted upon Chinese as well as a country.
