Why wait next election, do it right now!!!!!!!!!!
MCA has lost half of his seats on last election, this mean MCA has lost confidence and support of Chinese voters. Because of this, MCA should not accept any ministerial post in the government of present. He don’t have to wait next general election to do that because maybe MCA would ever won any seats altogether on next election.
Chinese don’t have to worry whether they don’t have any representation in the next election and next new government because if all Chinese vote for Pakatan Rakyat and with vote of other races for Pakatan Rakyat, I am sure Pakatan will win and form new government. I am pretty sure Chinese will have representation in Pakatan Rakyat cabinet line-up.
The Chinese also must ask the Chinese cabinet ministers; what you have done so far in the last 10 years for Chinese community????? Ask them to list down everything they done. It’s our rights to ask question. And they are obliged to answer it.
With or without ministerial post in cabinet or government…….
Life goes on guys…….

Don't bully the Chinese with your 'empty fortress' threats, Guan Eng tells MCA
The swearing-in of Datuk Lee Kim Shin as Sarawak assistant infrastructure development and communications minister yesterday has exposed the BN’s “empty fortress” strategy to frighten the Chinese voters to vote for BN, or else there will be no Chinese representation in government as an empty threat.
This empty nest strategy is hoped to force the Chinese community to turn and run away from DAP.
Clearly such threats are made before elections but when posts and positons are offered after elections, as happened to SUPP Datuk Wong Soon Koh and Datuk Lee Kim Shin, BN leaders will never be able to resist the temptation of the perks and privileges available to fight for principles of right and wrong.
What is sad is that MCA President Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek had allowed both Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin to racialise the Sarawak elections results instead of a democratic call for change..
No one believes MCA would carry out its threat to reject positions or posts should the voters reject MCA again at the next general elections.
After all if voters have rejected BN, why is it that MCA dare not withdraw from BN? Whether MCA wins big or loses big in general elections, MCA would continue to be given 4 minor Ministerial posts.
Just like Gerakan President Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon who promised during the 2008 general elections that he would reject any back-door appointment as Senator to become a Minister or SUPP’s Datuk Wong Soon Koh and Datuk Lee who secretly accepted their appointments in defiance of their party, no MCA leader would reject the opportunity for such high posts that they have been fighting for all their political career.
Chua Soi Lek has been exposed as an unprincipled leader by ex-MCA President Datuk Ong Tee Keat for Chua not practicing what he preaches by directing its sole Assemblyman and EXCO in Perak or Negeri Sembilan to resign.
Neither has Chua the courage to direct its 4 Ministers in Cabinet to resign as MCA lost badly in the 2008 general elections. This agains confirms MCA’s struggle is not about principles but for positions, not fighting for the people but for posts.
After all, it has proven time and time again that whether or not MCA is represented in Cabinet makes no difference as MCA as merely puppets of UMNO. Issues affecting Malaysians are ignored and corruption allowed to run rampant until RM888 billion of illicit or “black” money was secretly and illegally taken out from 2000-2008.
When UMNO made a unilateral decision to invite PAS to join BN, MCA dare not protest UMNO’s dictatorial decision as undemocratic. And yet MCA dares to threaten Malaysians for exercising their democratic rights not to vote for MCA.
Lim Guan Eng is the DAP secretary-general and Chief Minister of Penang
