The myth that DAP-secretary general Lim Guan Eng is is invincible, is starting to crack, said MCA president Liow Tiong Lai.

"The massive floods as well as the recent landslide in Penang, have indirectly revealed Lim’s incapability and lack of responsibility. 

"The myth of 'tokong' (deity) Lim’s invincibility has started to crack," Liow said at the MCA annual general assembly in Kuala Lumpur today.

Tokong is a nickname Lim's critics have bestowed upon him, for his allegedly arrogant behaviour.

Penang was rocked by a landslide at a hillslope development in Tanjung Bungah last month, that killed 11 people. 

The tragedy had raised serious questions about the DAP-led state government's policies, and enforcement of environmental and development regulations.

Prior to that in September, the state was ravaged by floods.

Meanwhile, Liow also accused the DAP of betraying the mandate given to them by the Chinese community.

"After obtaining power, DAP has betrayed the mandate given to it by the Chinese community. 

"We have to help voters audit DAP and reveal all of its actions which had allowed the Lim dynasty to continue its pursuit for power, especially when it conspired with PAS, and later on, Dr Mahathir Mohammad, which has cast its political integrity into doubt," the MCA president said.

Liow also rubbished the theory that there will be a "Malay tsunami" in the next elections in favour of the opposition.

Among the theory's main proponents is DAP political education director Liew Chin Tong.

"What the opposition conceals from the knowledge of voters is that the majority of Malay votes will remain with Umno, and Umno will continue to win comfortably. 

"Therefore, we must persist in making preparations, lobbying for more Chinese votes and endeavouring wholeheartedly to get back MCA members to assist us. I am confident that communication reduces doubts, and members are willing to provide support," Liow told delegates gathered at the MCA headquarters.

He said the Chinese should instead vote for MCA, so the party can act as a check and balance "to prevent the theocratic ideology fanned by PAS" and maintain a secular system of government.

He promised that if MCA recovers Chinese support, the party would bring about a new "atmosphere" for the community, although he did not elaborate on this.
