Dr. Chan commented MCA AGM

The show is over

The curtain has been lowered. Everyone including the delegates was hurriedly packing up, preparing to leave to return to take care of their own affairs. Nobody seemed to care about the importance of the Annual General Meeting (AGM). It was the election of the leaders they were interested in. Only a few who had the concern of the Party remained behind to tidy up and conclude the AGM.

The press did a good job in praising the success of the AGM and the success of the Peace Plan. It was presumed the gullible public was well hoodwinked to believe things are running well. Soon everything will be back to normal. Nothing will change. The word “Change” is merely a slogan. Such scenario will be repeated every three to four years.

Had there been Citizen- Journalists (CJ) around and had video recorded the whole proceeding of the AGM and had it accorded to the public, I am sure the public and those members who had no access to the AGM could have the actual view and felt the actual atmosphere of the AGM,  would see it in a different light. 

In my opinion the MCA (Party) is utterly down trodden, shameful and condemned. Even the Prime Minister in his speech warned, shamed and condemned the Party and its leadership.

The PM warned the leaders with these words, “It is not a wake-up call. It is the last call” What sadden me was that when this warning was given, there was sound of hand clapping of cheer was heard. I wonder what was the clapping about. Again when the Prime Minister made a shameful fun of the leadership by asking them to take Viagra, the same clapping of hands were heard. Later I came to know that those who clapped did not know what they were clapping for. They clapped just because someone clapped. In actual fact, they could not understand what the PM said. How disgraceful they were.    

Look at the list of names of the so called newly elected leadership. There was no election at all. They were selected as a result of the peace plan. The delegates were given the order to select as ordered. You may ask how could this happen. Every delegate was supposed to have a free mind to choose. My answer to this is they were the delegates created from phantom members by self interest leaders to secure their positions.   

Can the Party make a change to regain the support of the Malaysian Chinese? I leave it to you to provide the answer.

Dr.Chan commented why MCA cannot change.

I do agree with you. If no significant change, the party will remain irrelevant to the Malaysian Chinese except to a few towkays.

You wonder why MCA is unable to change? My answer is that  it is due to the faulty system of the party. (1) Full power of decision and control lies on the Chairman at every level. As you know power corrupts.(2) The delegate system of selection of leadership.As you further know delegates can be generated by phantom members (3) The power of appointment to position. It is always misused and (4) No benchmark laid out to those who holds important posts.

Any Dick, Tom, and Harry can be chairman through popular vote without any educational qualification. 

I am sure present leaders love to maintain such system. We need a honest and brave leader to do a change.
