Khoo's stinging rebuke of MCA

Check out Khoo Kay Peng's stinging rebuke of MCA's role and relevance, especially against the backdrop of recent events, the latest being the manufacturing of an "issue" out of Namewee's Negarakuku. Again and again, countless questions have been raised about MCA's relevance and identity as a political party, and its role in the BN. The facts thus far have shown the MCA as nothing more than playing a supporting actor to Umno, as well as behaving more like a social organization than a political party with supposed influence and decision making voice. The way they have faltered in explaining away the extremist positioning of various leaders in Umno, from the keris waving antics of the Hishamuddin to the recent unilateral re-interpretation of the Federal Consitution by Najib, just reaffirm their real position as Umno's voice to the Chinese Malaysian, rather than the other way round which they always claim.

Meanwhile, Tun Hanif Omar in The Star has a stinging rebuke of the pathetic states our police force, Anti-Corruption Agency, and the Attorney General's office have slipped into. If this is not a voice of despair, nor the rakyat feels the same, then maybe our country will not be able to escape the certainty of becoming a failed state.

Also, following in the footsteps of Raja Nazrin's string of recent speeches aimed squarely at the problems facing this nation and what is required to overcome them, plus being a subtle rebuke of the present administration, His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor also expressed his concerns over similar issues, as well as expressing his desire for a politics-free Merdeka celebration. Perhaps the Rulers should really start playing a more active role to alleviate the concerns and despair of the rakyat over the excesses and corruption of the present Pak Lah administration.
