Punish MCA trio for unforgiven political crime

By Koh Teng Gee

Ong Tee Kiat was so confident of beating the vote of no confidence pass against him in the Oct 10 EGM that he publicly declared that he would step down even if he lost by a simple majority. As it turned out, he lost by 14 votes.

It was reported that this was due to the 'Third Force' who wanted both Ong and Dr Chua Soi Lek out. I believe in Ong's case, his trusted leaders that had played him out by voting against him.

Liow Tiong Lai must have seen the opportunity to take over the leadership the moment Ong made his statement to step down. Hence, after the outcome was known in the EGM, he didn't waste time in having a secret meeting with his trusted supporters to force Ong to step down as promised.

It was reported that at the central committee meeting, Chiew Mei Fun stood up to make a call for Ong to step down to start the ball rolling to put pressure on Ong.

Knowing the kind of man he is, I believe in a different situation, Ong would have done what he said. However, when he knew that his trusted friends had backstabbed him and plotted to topple him, he didn't step down as promised.

The MCA's constitution requires a two-thirds majority to oust the president. Although his integrity was dented, he did the right thing by not stepping down. Had he done so, he would have to resign as a transport minister.

Liow, as president, would have to reward his two trusted supporters in Wee Ka Siong and Chiew Mei Fun. It was rumoured that Wee was to be minister of transport and Chiew the minister of tourism.

The consequences would be disasterous as Wee is allegedly linked to Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) matter. He would do all in his power to reduce the damages to BN politicians who were involved in the PKFZ scandal. The whole truth of the scandal will be lost forever.

As for the ambitious Chiew, it is unthinkable that she would replace her former boss, Dr Ng Yen Yen, who has done an excellent job as the minister of tourism. Can the public accept a non- elected person to replace an elected one?

Chiew lost the the 2008 general election while Ng won. For her involvement in the plot to topple the MCA president, she will be disliked intensely and I hope she will never win in any of the general elections to come.

I sincerely hope that the MCA members will punish this trio for their unforgiven political crime. Can the MCA accept people who backstabb their friends? I hope Ong will take steps to drop the three from their cabinet posts.

Let there be an MCA AGM to carry out elections for all posts. The identities of the Third Force are now exposed. Unfortunately, they include some of Ong's trusted friends.

翁去留似有人佈局‧翁協文力挺王賽芝

有时，不是每个人都愿意讲真话，因为讲真话会得罪人，而且很多时候，很多人都喜欢听好话，听了觉得舒服的话，听了可以得到好处的话。假如有人讲的话不好听，听了也不舒服，更不会得到好处，还会刺激你的神经，让你神经过敏，你要不要听呢？以下是星洲日报的一篇报道，跟你分享，你看了/听了，假如神经过敏，先声明：与我无关。翁去留似有人佈局‧翁協文力挺王賽芝


（吉隆坡）馬華中委翁協文週五（10月30日）力挺另一名中委王賽芝在早前所發表的“翁詩傑不曾要求擬辭職信”的言論，並表示對於翁詩傑的去留問題，似乎是有人在佈局。

他指出，雙十特大結果在當天出爐後，挺翁中委在商討對策時，他也在場，因此可以證明王賽芝所言非虛。

“我覺得當天開會時，整個情況就不太好，事件接下來的發展似乎是有人在佈局，有人說先讓總會長簽辭職信，過後再挽留他，但總會長已表明他不要‘做戲´，這究竟是出於真心的挽留還是設陷阱的挽留，令人玩味。”

只是要說出事實

翁協文也是檳州馬華署理主席。他週五接受《星洲日報》訪問時說，他不想發表言論進行人身攻擊，只是要說出事實。

他指出，翁詩傑在雙十特大的會議上表示在出國回來後，才展開進一步的商討，翁詩傑當時也只是表明將一切黨務交給署理總會長拿督斯里廖中萊及總秘書拿督王茀明處理，而不是提到接班的問題。

他指出，在雙十特大前，翁詩傑南下北上向黨員進行彙報，一些跟隨的黨中央領袖信誓旦旦的說，若翁詩傑下台，他們也願意辭職。

不過，他說，事件發展至此，這些領袖也沒有再提起辭職的事，他認為，這些領袖應該為本身所發表的言論負責，惟他不會點出這些領袖是誰。

马华党内纷争

也许很多外人不认同，不过熟悉党内事物的人可以看得出，今天马华党内所发生的纷争是无可避免的事，是去年马华党选后所埋下的一颗计时炸弹。

也许有人会这么说，不按下计时器，不是不会爆炸吗？
问题不是按不按下计时器，而是事情的演变不允许领导层再拖下去。问题是假如它爆炸的时间不对，对马华对国阵杀伤力会更大。

一个不和谐的领导层，如何带领整个团队去面对挑战？如何带领团队去面对华裔群众，争取他们的支持呢？
应该跟领袖配合，跟团队配合的人，不愿意配合，不愿意牺牲，时常唱反调，又有哪个领袖会接受呢？又怎么能服众呢？

作为一个中央领袖，肯定拥有各地的支持者，各地的诸侯，这些各地方上的既得利益者，肯定会有所期望，有所动作。

马华今天的问题就由马华的中央代表做表决吧！在斗智斗力的过程中，无须谩骂，无须抹黑，摆实施讲道理，让中央代表做决定，一个特大不就行了吗，何必强行要召开两个特大呢？

让中央代表作出决定，马华纪律委员会是做对了或是做错了？会长理事会是做对了或是做错了。

有人同意会长理事会所做的决定，有人反对这样的决定。参与的人肯定都要付出代价，对马华本身来说，冰冻三尺，非一日之寒，这浅显的道理大家都懂。

长痛不如短痛，要走的迟早会走，像蔡锐明这样（一个令我[不提别人，不代表别人]失望的前马华领袖），你怕他找不到好的理由或好的藉口离开吗？要留的肯定会留下来，打死也不走的！

在我们的实际生活当中，在我们的周围，也许不是全部，但其中的一部分，有婚姻关系的伴侣，难道没有想过离婚的吗？最后，有感情也好，没感情也好，有一些是真正离婚了，也有一些是混混厄厄的渡过了那一辈子！

你选择要表现自我的方式，还是选择混混厄厄的过日子呢？

你选择，我也作出选择！
