4t round for Chua Soi Lek in 2011?



New published in OCDN / 8-8-2010 referred.

The news clip carry this message, in a gist as follows:-
President Chua reminds MCA members to refrain from the continuous infighting which now causes negative public confidence in the party that MCA will eventually have to face the consequence of closing its shop.

Good in infighting but poor in fighting against outside opponents will destroy the party. Don't let 1 or 2 persons or a small group to cause splits within the party, and it's not right for a member to do so, and that MCA can not afford to have this problem/burden any more.

Having factions in the party will not be positive in gaining confidence from the public, nor would the party gain supports from others within the BN.

He singled out the Ulu Selangor by-election as a good example where Chinese votes obtained by BN was much less than the total MCA's members in the area that indicates MCA members were even voted against the BN.

He praised the little Perlis State MCA for its commendable unity despite little conflicts among its local members there. He said that the local leadership can adopt, and following, closely the party agenda to defuse the sabotage attempts by the various small infighting group.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My view is:-
MCA has been plaguing by infighting. Unity is now the highest priority in MCA's agenda. President Chua, during a speech addressing to the members in Perlis MCA, reminds members to refrain from the continuous infighting, and that the same advice too for other states; has indicated the seriousness of him in the attempt to resolve conflicts within the party, and of the reformation of MCA before the next party election, which is scheduled in early 2011.

The invisible and 'cold infighting' among the three main factions in MCA, namely the Ong Ka Ting's, Ong Tee Keat's, and the Chua Soil Lek's, has been ongoing but mainly under surface.

Who are actually the one to cause the damages, or sabotage the party reformation, and making instability in the party?

It remains to be seen, as each side is seen pointing fingers at each others internally.

Perhaps, MCA needs another round of election to really settle the prevalent issue of who the main ruler of MCA is.

A Ka Ting comeback will do MCA no good — The Malaysian Insider

A Ka Ting comeback will do MCA no good — The Malaysian Insider

The heavy defeat of MCA in 8-Mar-2008 general election was an evidence of rejection by the Chinese community on Ong Kah Ting leadership.

If he were good, of high integrity, and furthermore competent, he shouldn't have had step down after the 308 election; and should have had continue the party transformation thereafter. It's therefore inappropriate for him to return as he'd already been given the opportunity, and that opportunity should be given to other leaders who are waiting at the wings with newer ideas, new ways, and enthusiasm.

After all, the political scenario, and landscape, is different from the days he was at helm.

The battle in MCA now is in electing the candidate/team who can unite all the factions, progressively competent, dedicated, and most importantly, upholding the integrity and
safeguarding dignity of the party, without fear or favour, especially in the aspect of working relationship with UMNO, the backbone of BN.
