Comment on Solid team in Penang MCA new lineup

What have I to say. In fact I do not have much to comment on.
There were many adverse comments from the public at coffee shop when
the news of the line up was published. What was significant is MCA is
using old and unwanted stuff. It would appear it could not find new
faces to run the show.
In a way I am really ashame though I am not involved in the line up.
I guess YB Dato Dr. Ng Yen Yen is playing safe and she tried to
include everyone, the active and dead wood.
I really do not know why. The image of our YB Dato Dr. had sunk so
tremendously low since she was appointed as Chair person of the Penang
State Liaison Committee. It could be she had made some far fetch
public statements trying to hoodwink the public. For example, in
connection with the Hulu Selangor by-election, she said she would send
500 wanita there to help which was not possible. She was either
ignorant of the fact that the MCA wanita had been dead for years with
a few old ladies showing their faces or she was speaking through her
head.
Another far fetch public statement she made was that she would
recapture Penang in the coming general election. To the public this
was another empty statement.
Having all the defeated and discarded leaders holding position, do you
think she can do it? I am sorry for what I have said. This is the
truth and the truth always hurts.

It is so apparent the young had abandoned MCA leaving the old and some
businessmen are still supporting the MCA. If MCA does not realize
this, let it be.

A few hours ago, I attended the EGM of the Penang Chinese Chamber of
Commerce. The young group showed no face to the elder group who
happened to be MCA leaders. What a shame. I think you will see what
had happened in the news tonight.

Best regards,
