PKR Challenge MCA

Who are S'wak PKR to comment on Chua?
Tan Soo Aun Nov 4, 08 3:58pm

Once again, the issue of Chua Soi Lek’s reentry into cabinet via a surprise outcome in the recent MCA elections, has attracted attention from opposition leaders, this time around from two unlikely personalities in Sarawak’s PKR.


If we could actually recall what happened in January this year, Chua Soi Lek had taken the courage to abandon everything he held dear to pay for his mistake . Unlike most politicians across the ruling-opposition divide, he was outrightly honest, down to earth and sincere about what had happened.

For whatever he had done, he chose to return as an ordinary member to the MCA, working tirelessly to become the party’s number two in only 10 months time. It is commonly agreed that had there been no sex tape, he would have taken the presidency by default. Nobody in MCA can match his leadership qualities so is this why the opposition leaders are so worried?
Why so much hoo-ha about Chua? Is it still not enough punishment for him? Must we go all the way and hold him forever responsible, pin him down to the path of no return like how the two Sawarak PKR leaders are doing? What have they got to achieve if not mere political mileage out of the people’s misery ?

During the MCA party election, the issue of the sex tape had been thoroughly debated and weighed, yet the delegates went gone beyond personal issues to vote for Chua. He was not supposed to win if delegates had bothered to mix up personal problems with leadership qualities.

But like what happened in the Permatang Pauh by-election (please remember it is Permatang Pauh and not elsewhere), the voter went far beyond personal issues to elect capable leaders of their own choice.

PKR’s Dominique Ng and See Chee How hailed Permatang Pauh as the people’s victory to safeguard democracy, to defend freedom, to wipe out corruption and so on and so forth, but on Chua’s victory in the MCA party election, they suddenly choose to sing a different tune.
This is the politics of convenience, the politics of manipulation at play. They become the defenders of moral purity whereas the party they belong to is led by Anwar Ibrahim - who is interestingly another leader with alleged misbehaviour but who also happens to be one of the most influential political players on the local scene.

What have Ng and See got to do with Chua’s entry into the cabinet anyway? As citizens, they are tainted with political bias. Even if Ng and See wish to put their feet down, they should have spoken out before the voting.

Of course, in the eyes of opposition leaders, there is no good ministers in the BN cabinet. Just like when they only took away 82 parliamentary seats on March 8, they start telling the rakyat that PR is more credible than BN. They unleash all sorts of accusations at the Election Commission and the government, but they quickly recognise their own victory in Penang, Kedah, Perak and Selangor as the ‘people’s power’.

Later, they took the trouble to play up the Sept 16 takeover drama, so much so that the people and the country suffered in deep suspense and despair. There is so much greed in opposition politics to the extent that they are willing to replace the federal government through a back-door approach.

By the way, if Chua is pronounced not fit to return to the cabinet, how come PR leaders and supporters can look up to Anwar Ibrahim as the PM-in-waiting? Anwar has actually been convicted and sentenced in a court of law, only to be reversed upon appeal with 2-1 majority judgement.

Obviously, PKR leaders have pointed at other people without realising that more fingers pointed at themselves. They blatantly practice double standards because it suits their political agenda. Both Sarawak PKR leaders are motivated by political rivalry to hit out at BN whenever they feel it convenient to do so. Even now that Sept 16 has faded away, PKR and PR have not given up hope by perpetually calling Anwar as the ‘PM in-waiting’.
In the final analysis, it is not the issue of morality or otherwise - it is all about ways and means to capture power by continuously harping on issues that your opponents has little means to defend against.

It is also about the opposition’s grand agenda to revive ‘916' by taking on the ruling party on all frontiers. Ng and See have taken the lead to do so though it surprises many people because MCA has yet to be a local player in Sarawak politics.
