Self interest over rides ethical behavior

Self interest over rides ethical behavior ( This is madness ).
                                                                                                          

 “ Soi Lek: Liow broke deal has no credibility” The report from Malaysiankini dated 16.1.14  really startled me. I was wondering, how could Soi Lek, a past President publicly condemned Tiong Lai, the present President as a person of no credibility. He had a hand in the game in getting Tiong Lai winning the Presidency. What Soi Lek is doing now is creating a very bad image to the Party. The Party may be destroyed by his mad act. In fact he needs to be disciplined.  

It makes me wonder. Was Soi Lek under duress (force) by someone then when he supported Liow?        Or was he really looking into the interest of his team members, ensuring them to be appointed into important positions in the Party regardless of their suitability? Or was he in actual fact looking into the interest of his son? What was the Peace Plan really for?

Recounting what had taken place, I feel Soi Lek by his Peace Plan had done more harm to the Party than strengthening it. Look at the Peace Plan. He wanted a contest at the Presidential level. He even sacrificed Mr. Gan by using him as a pawn to draw votes away from Ong Tee Keat. This was just to ensure Liow would win. At the Deputy level he even sacrificed Lim to ensure Lim had no chance to fight for the Vice Chairman post. He wanted no contest in the Vice Chairman post and the Committee post. He placed his son in the Vice Chairman level.  It is to ensure his son win the Vice Chairman post and be appointed into whatever position negotiated for. Now the Peace Plan had turned awry. It is expected to be. How can the President accommodate all the demand of Soi Lek. It seemed the President had even gone out of his way by appointing double deputy chairman in four states to accommodate his request. This is against the Party Constitution. His son was appointed as Chairman of the Perlis State Liaison Committee and which post was not negotiated for. To Soi Lek this was a betrayal. He was very much agitated and lost his cool. He is now revealing his true character.  

Mr. President, members hope you should stand firm and use the Party Constitution to guide you. MCA belongs to all members and not to a few who happened to be given the mandate to lead.

Personal agreement on matters affecting the Party made between leaders cannot over ride Party Constitution. Should there is a need, a properly elected committee or an appointed committee must be formed to deal with the issues. Any fundamental change to the structure of the Constitution a Referendum or a General Meeting needs to be held to get the mandate from the members to change. Creating extra positions such as creating extra Deputy Chairman of State Liaison Committee just to accommodate the personal agreement which termed as Peace Plan is incorrect.
