MCA is a hypocrite

The MCA has once again proven themselves to be hypocrites. The party often acts in contradiction to their statements and The Star on 12 April 2008 alone reported two instances that proved MCA of its hypocrisy.

MCA supports Islamic State, DAP opposes it. MCA asks DAP to apologise.

Firstly, the MCA president, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting demanded the DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng to make a stand and apologise to the people with regards to the Hudud goal.

If there was apology to be made, should it not start with the MCA?

When the former premier, Tun Dr Mahathir’s announced on 9 September 2001 that Malaysia is an Islamic state, MCA betrayed their members and its founding fathers by not making a stand against the statement. In fact, they fully supported the decision. The MCA was once again in silence in 2007 when deputy prime minister Najib declared Malaysia as an Islamic state. Where was MCA when prime minister Abdullah Badawi formally confirmed in parliament that Malaysia is an Islamic state? Why didn’t the MCA challenge UMNO’s statement on Islamic state then and now?

The MCA has no honor and not worthy to talk about Islamic state until they first amend their wrongs by first sending a formal protest letter to the prime minister on his endorsement of Malaysia being an Islamic state.They proved themselves to be cowards for not making a stand in the above three mentioned occasions. In so doing, their silence was an act of support for Malaysia as an Islamic state. In any case, MCA was a true blue hypocrite for asking the DAP to make a stand when they couldn’t. Perhaps MCA was talking to their own conscience.

The DAP did not and will never support the statement about Malaysia as an Islamic state; and that his party MCA has been supporting that all this while. The DAP stand has been clear, consistent and simple. It sets itself to defend the federal constitution set by our founding father of this nation: Malaysia is a secular state with Islam as the official religion. It is not an Islamic state.

In and outside of the parliament, DAP has been expressing its opposing views towards claims stating Malaysia as an Islamic state. In fact, unlike MCA, DAP has launched numerous campaign in protest against Islamic State declaration be it PAS Islamic State or UMNO Islamic State such as the “No to 929” campaign.

Didn’t the MCA read in the BN-controlled and nationwide-distribution newspaper that PAS will not implement Hudud in Perak? As stated in Sin Chew Daily on the 29 March 2008, the Perak Menteri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin announced again that “PAS will not bring in issues like Islamic state and the implementation of Hudud”.


Former Perak BN (MCA) government takes land; MCA demand PR (DAP) to give land titles within 6 months.

In another instance proving MCA’s hypocrisy, the MCA demanded the Perak state government to issue freehold titles to new villages within six months from date of announcement. Let’s remember that the MCA couldn’t get this job done in 50 years. Now they are demanding the DAP-PKR-PAS collision to get it completed within six months.

Perhaps MCA needs reminding that the brainchild of the initiative of issuing land titles to new villages was the DAP-PRK-PAS collision. It was not MCA. Had the people of Perak elected the MCA in the recent general election, we will not hear of such proposal. In fact, we would have seen the BN evicting land of new villages instead of proving one such as in the case of Tanah Mas village in February 2008.
