谁在乱马华？
马华纷争随着黄家定的参选总会长，越演越烈，也让各派系组织内的一些师爷，有机会显身手，出主意。
由于这些师爷闲置太久，无从表现，有些还有点意志消沉，意兴阑珊，所以这次重选，可说是大好机会，可以为主子效劳出力，希望咸鱼可以翻身。
说这些话并没有贬义，你告诉我“为主子效劳出力”有什么错？拿人钱财，替人消灾嘛！老板没有那么傻，请一个倒米的伙计吧！
就像某大报（注意谁是背后老板！）的“文化打手”（这是贬义！）那样，最近，这些“文化打手”，倚着专栏指着人家的鼻子骂人，还放着自己的人头像。可却没有人敢得罪他们！全因为他们是“正义”的代表！（意思是说：只有他们才是正义的！）这可是现代21世纪马来西亚民主开放社会的怪现象！
忙里偷闲，上网逛逛，看到透视大马的一篇文章说家定乱马华，颇有意思，摘下与大家分享。其实还有很多文章可以摘录，跟大家分享，不过因为我跟这个发表文稿的人通过电话联系，知道他是马华的前辈，了解他的看法，所以就特别摘录他的意见。
我是借别人的话表达自己的看法，不需要号召大家认同，我也是派系中人，所以也是有争论性的，所以不跟你争论是你对还是我对！
很多事物都是一体多面，从哪一个角度来看，都会认为自己是对的，别人是错的。我们像是盲人摸象罢了！假如真的有人说他才是对的，其他人都是错的，他不是发神经，也有些“契线”了！

"Kingmakers and comedians" by Matthias Chang
This piece Kingmakers and comedians from The Malaysian Mirror (original piece: Barisan Nasional Will Pay A Heavy Price For The MCA Fiasco!) written by Matthias Chang shows us how some of the present MCA leaders acted. Barisan Nasional leaders including MCA leaders and members should really perceive the message Matthias Chang is trying to convey.
Kingmakers and comedians
THE 'kingmakers' of the MCA, whether from within or without, have always paid a heavy price at the general elections for having insulted and abused the intelligence of the Chinese voters and the community.
The comedy of (former deputy president) Dr Chua Soi Lek and (former vice-president) Liow Tiong Lai boycotting the party’s AGM, sheepishly followed by the heads of the Youth and Women’s wings, is an indication of how far down these leaders have degenerated into the gutter level of subservient politics.
One cannot but question the motives of these political comedians when they and their supporters submitted their resignation as central committee members a few days before the AGM.
These same political charlatans have previously agreed to hold the AGM on March 7.
Their infantile theatrics
The AGM is the highest decision making body of the party, for that matter any organisation.
So, what was it that instilled so much fear (or what were the inducements offered by the kingmakers) that they deemed it fit to scuttle the AGM at the 11th hour?
Whatever may be the case, their very actions have smeared the integrity of the party which they have professed to protect and redeem as a result of the MCA's political defeat at the last general elections in March, 2008.
In their attempts to embarrass and humiliate the president, they have actually insulted the Chinese community by their infantile theatrics!
They could still have their elections after the AGM, by having 21 members of the central committee resign in accordance with the party’s constitution.
But, it is a reflection of their stupidity and mental subservience to outside forces to think that by toppling the president, party unity will be achieved by a new team of second rate leaders, not yet matured enough to assume leadership roles.
Tragic blunder against Chinese support
Time after time, when the Barisan Nasional was perceived as having screwed up the electorate, the Chinese voters would take it out on the MCA, even though the party may not be responsible for the mistakes made.
In 1999, when the Malay voters swung to Anwar, the Chinese rallied behind Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his tremendous efforts in overcoming the financial crisis of 1997/1998 by way of showing their appreciation.
The voters swung against the Barisan Nasional in March, 2008 because of the inept leadership of the fifth prime minister Abdullah Badawi. But the MCA and Gerakan paid heavily for Abdullah's mistakes.
It is utmost stupidity - if not political suicide - to humiliate the MCA when the non-bumiputera and non-Muslims voters have yet to swing back to the Barisan Nasional.
It may be that the kingmakers take the view that a compliant MCA will help make Umno look stronger and in control, thereby securing back Malay votes.
There may be other considerations but if the net result is the humiliation of MCA, then it is a strategic blunder and it will be next to impossible to win back the support of the Chinese voters.
If the kingmakers really think that non-Muslims votes are irrelevant, think again. Swing votes win elections, especially when the opposing parties are evenly matched.
Be assured that the likes of Chua Soi Lek, Liow Tiong Lai, Wee Ka Siong and Chew Mei Fun will be defeated at the next general elections.
I forecasted the massacre of MCA candidates in the March 2008 elections, on the Wednesday preceding polling day and I was proven right.
Count on it that I will be spot on in my forecast again for the next general elections. And because of this fiasco, the result of stupid meddling of kingmakers within and without MCA, there will be a hung Parliament, a first in Malaysian politics!
Barisan Nasional is forewarned!

How difficult to have a sensible mind in politic!
MCA has scheduled 7 March 2010 to have its AGM in a Central Committee Meeting held in January 2010.
However, due to the the resignation of the 8 plus 13 central committee members on 4 March 2010, which trigger Article 41 of the Constitution of The MCA, the remaining committee members had at a meeting on 5 March 2010 maintained that the AGM scheduled on 7 March should go on as planned.
Traditionally, the AGM of the BN component party shall be officiated by the BN Chairman, that is PM. However, due to the internal problems at the moment, it's not easy for the PM to decide either to attend or not to attend the AGM of MCA.
Either way will be misconstrued by the MCA members on this matter. Now it's clear that BN Chairman, Datuk Sri Najib Tun Razak will not attend and officiate the AGM.
Reading together Articles 33 and 41, the remaining committee members of the MCA has absolute right to administer the affairs of the Party, and they had according to the Constitution decided that 28 March 2010 shall be the date for the EGM and the AGM shall go on as planned.
Articles 33.1 stated that: The General Assembly shall consists of :the members of the incumbent Central Committee. Meaning those who have resigned shall have no right to attend the AGM unless they are: elected delegates in the division, MP or ADUN, MCA State Chairman or MCA Division Chairman.
This clearly doesn't nullify the AGM scheduled on 7 March 2010. Having and attending AGM as planned is just the duty of the central delegates. What is sad is that a tradition has been broken! And this is not a good sign!

马华重选
随着蔡细厉和其他7名中委的辞职，加上廖仲莱派系13名中委的有条件呈辞，达成三份二中委人数呈辞，根据党章第41条，从3月4日开始的一个月内，马华必须召开特别大会进行重选。
重选是选出一个新的中央委员会，在没有更好的解决办法之下，重选是解决目前党内派系斗争和困境的其中一个符合民主程序的办法，也符合国阵的利益。
重选不可能解决所有问题，甚至没有解决大部分问题。重选并没有解决各派系领袖的所谓“诚信”问题。选举只是解决了，谁将可以拥有党内分配资源的权力！谁将拥有权力将问题扫进地毡下！选举决定谁去谁留！既然决定谁去谁留，所以选举时也不用给对方留情面。情面只能在以后去争取回来！
在选举过程中，斗争只会更剧烈，但这是民主所需，无可避免！
其实选举从来并没用解决党内派系斗争，党内派系斗争是永远存在的，任何政党组织都一样！
政海浮沉，就看往后的一个月！
能一劳永逸的解决问题（一些问题），何尝不是一件令人感到欣慰的事！
今年选了，明年再来选，假如选出的领袖不合意，总秘书再发信给中委选择要不要辞职，或再要求三分二中委辞职，再来选，如何？中央代表们可以选个不亦乐！
