MCA displays its impotence
It is really amusing to read MCA's mouthpiece, The Star quoting MCA vice-president Datuk Chua Soi Lek as saying that MCA will continue to "assist" student Wee Meng Chee who got into trouble with the authorities after his laments about the state of the nation was viewed on YouTube.
Is this the best that MCA can do? Especially after the de-factor Law Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said that the government is not going to forgive Wee and that he could face legal action including possible jail time, for, in my view, merely echoing the sentiments of many Malaysians. The Star report today even stated that Chua spent 30 minutes lecturing Wee where he went wrong, when in his hearts of hearts, Chua knows that there is massive disatisfaction amongst his own ethnic community in Malaysia about the disturbing state of the nation and the path it is taking in regards to corruption and decaying national integrity.
So, what "advise" will MCA give Wee if he is charged in court? That he should take whatever is meted out like a man? UMNO is out for a pound of flesh and MCA is fighting in UMNO's corner, as it is seen from the outside. If Chua and his ilk are the best that the dynamic, hardworking Chinese community in Malaysia has as a so-called representative in Cabinet, then let's look forward to an interesting General Elections which is just around the corner. ¶ 2:41 PM
