A vote for MCA is a vote for Umno's Islamic State

If you still have doubts about that, take a look at this article. Hishamuddin aka Kerismuddin has warned ("beri amaran") MCA leaders to stop making statements that declare Malaysia is a secular state. MCA had gone to town sensing they're gonna lose even more votes now after Najib unilaterally made the announcement that Malaysia is an Islamic state, never mind the fact that his father Tun Abdul Razak was in the delegation that went to the UK to negotiate Malaya's independence as well as presenting memorandums on how the Malayan Constitution should be like, and one of that would be that the Federal Constitution would be the supreme law of the land and that Malaya/Malaysia would be a secular state. This has been affirmed as well by Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Hussein Onn.

However, subtle subversion of such a reality has now come out totally in the open. Umno has no qualms now in declaring Malaysia as whatever it likes it to be (although the Internal Security Ministry thinks otherwise). To hell with MCA, MIC and all the mosquito-sized parties that formed the BN. They be damned as keeping Umno in power is the most important. To them, this country can go to hell for all they care. No wonder since they could easily bail out and retire glamourously to Perth and other clearly secular states. As they said, rakyat Malaysia can go eat kuih! If MCA, MIC, Gerakan and the rest need a reason to quit sleeping with Umno, this is more than enough of a good reason. All the pre-merdeka goodwill and working together has come to naught after 50 years. And MCA Youth seems to begin to realize that (though questions remain if it will translate to actions). But would they have the spine to do it on their own? I think not, unless WE voters send a clear signal to them telling them to quit.
