MCA between a rock and a hard place
‘I do not support anyone who remains so smug and arrogant even after being caught with his pants down,' says a Malaysiakini subscriber.
'Ong spooked by his own shadow'
Melayuhk: MCA is truly finished if someone like Chua Soi Lek can be its president. But then again, they did elect him as deputy president. No wonder, MCA has lost the support of the Chinese community with delegates like that!
Ong : Chua placed more importance on his own political future than that of MCA when he contested the deputy presidency. By beating Ong Ka Chuan, he exposed the MCA grassroots as no better than the Umno grassroots - depraved and without sense of integrity and morality.
By refusing to retire from active politics, he is also being extremely inconsiderate to his family. His political future is more important to him than his family's peace of mind.
Loh Lo Mei : I sometimes wonder why people would still trust someone who had cheated on his wife of so many years. If I remember correctly, he wasn't at all remorseful at his press conference and sort of intimated that his relationship with his "girlfriend" would continue. If he showed any remorse at all, it was for being caught, not for cheating.
Tan Hoe Een : I know not Ong or Chua by any measure except for the fact that they are both elected office bearers in MCA by the very same MCA delegates. If you say the delegates are fools for voting in Chua in spite of the known scandal, likewise they must be the same fools that voted in Ong. Otherwise, respect the wishes of the delegates.
Cpk : I do not support anyone who remains so smug and arrogant even after being caught with his pants down. We need a man of high moral standards and integrity to run this country. I do not know Ong Tee Keat, but whatever he may have done, at least he is getting the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal and corruption investigated and hopefully, the culprits can be brought to justice.
Summer: No one would deny that the PKFZ issue must be thoroughly investigated. No one is above the law. The corrupted must be put behind bars, regardless of their status in the society.
KayKay: If Chua reads what Confucius has to say on the matter, he wouldn't shamelessly harp on the need for his presence in MCA. If MCA members support Chua, they will end up seriously crippling the party. Chua has been found morally wanting and he should go. Those who support him have no sense of shame either and probably have skeletons in their cupboards as well.
Sampanno : MCA's failure to gain the confidence of the voters is not based on Ong's personality alone but the perceptions that most MCA politicians are after wealth and fame.
The only last thing that they are doing to serve is when nobody trust them. If Ong is a liability, then you are the thorn in MCA. My passed-away friend once told me that there are a lot of triad members in MCA.
Habsah Ibrahim : Chua, I believe you can lead and bring the MCA party to greater heights. I also feel it is the time Ong to be shown the exit as he has not done anything positive and constructive for the party and nation.
Ong is full of vengeance and his cunning will bring more damage to the Chinese community. So please save MCA and Malaysia!
Ck : As a deputy to Ong, you should have supported Ong all the way. It is so sad to see all of you fighting when a lot of other issues are not attended to.
