The bottom-line is this:
Umno crimps the MC...2/2<br /><br />The bottom-line is this: <br /><br />Umno crimps the MCA and its other non-Malay political partners from doing what will be good for the nation, foremost providing the checks-and-balances necessary to prevent elements in Umno from benefiting themselves to the exclusion of the rakyat, a bone of contention incidentally shared by the Opposition.<br /><br />If Umno is for 1Malaysia, end the crap from top to bottom. Zero-sum games should only be played by people who have superior capabilities and concern for the universal values upon which great nations and economies are built. <br /><br />From what one has seen at every corner of this country until the last general elections in the past thirty years, those universal values have been tampered and defaced until today even the Umno general membership is ashamed to be associated with their party.<br /><br />So how can the MCA deliver if this is the situation it faces?<br /><br />People may additionally say it is just a business party. If the roles were switched with Umno as MCA and MCA as Umno, would complainants in today's Umno camps blunt their barbs instead?<br /><br />(jejeje i can't believe i am writing this ;P)<br /><br />I can comment for another hour and lift you off your chair but there is a later post by the blogger which also tantalizes.<br /><br />So, to end on a positive note, CSL is an ok man. He was just working overtime when he was in health to test some of those pharma samples in the interest of the general public. Who's to disagree, and on what credentials?<br /><br />Looking at the b-s-ters in the present Barisan setup, people should mind their own personal business, especially when public ones are already going to test every neuron, if there is still any left, in the running of this country.<br /><br />If it is possible for me to be in the MCA, CSL will get my vote for a presidential ministerial post no lower than that of Muhyiddin or even Najib, both of whose capabilities remain as suspect as ninety-day DNA samples.<br /><br />But all this will automatically rescind the moment Umno raises tobacco duty.<br /><br />How else can one haze oneself to oblivion in the midst of such craven stupidity and chauvinism?<br /><br />Betul, no?wallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580252352785040456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600802170849928872.post-83887032711135102572011-10-06T11:14:30.899+08:002011-10-06T11:14:30.899+08:00I guess if sons of MCA branch chairmen can write s...I guess if sons of MCA branch chairmen can write such thoughtful blogs, there's still hope for the MCA.....<br /><br />The emotions swirling around today are not those of yesteryear. <br /><br />When the country was formed, everyone was excited by a common vision and mission.<br /><br />But because capabilities were not the same, some progressed faster than others so that to close the gap, policies were made to help the more under-served get up, unfortunately without any antidote against policy abuses which today are seen as the causal root of all present evils.<br /><br />And you can admit this is true because CSL's New Deal contains the same elements in spirit as those of the original policies. <br /><br />Why the need for a new deal if the old one had worked which would have naturally led to doing things for all the rakyat that should have been done honestly and wholeheartedly to the sustainable benefit of the entire nation?<br /><br />All this means the intent of the original policies has been deviously deviated until today the rakyat of the Peoples Republic of Malaysia can but only see some cat-and-mouse game between the present government and the peoples it is supposed to serve without personal motives benefiting specific power-mongers in the guise of communal interests.<br /><br />Against that backdrop, we can thus understand the dilemma of parties like the MCA. <br /><br />It was supposed to be an equal formation partner of Barisan, not perceived today as some shy chambermaid standing outside the room while the new brown Tuan romps away on some napure mattress with his latest toy.<br /><br />And that has come about because Umno has crimped the role of the MCA. <br /><br />Its reps get the minor ministerial roles and the ministries concerned are run by Umno KSUs. <br /><br />There are layers of political bureaucracy, armies of little napoleons, double standards in recruitment and deployment, and chasms of budget allocations based on only one criterion - race. <br /><br />There are slants in policy interpretation, archives of trickster excuses, pistons of suppression against nation-conscious support for the natural development and activation of the real contributors to national progress.<br /><br />At some of the negotiations going on between MCA projects and Umno-run bodies, the latter have absolutely no historical perspective of what was involved and no wisdom of what is going to hit Barisan on the whole next should they continue to adopt their racial mindset cloaked behind rarefied airs of officialdom presaging conditionalities to be used in the same cat-and-mouse zero-sum game that Umno has become so adept in; some may add they weren't even born when those projects had started, running till today with more international success than those defended but in name by those Umno-run bodies.wallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580252352785040456noreply@blogger.com
