What a horrible day I have just been through today. As you know, I am in the "no mood" stage since yesterday. I have been meaning to write more stuff on politics but I think enough is enough for now. Afterall, the amount of things being highlighted is starting to be like an old record playing over and over again. But before that...
What I dislike most of course is the way MSM keep advertising and highlighting the virtues of MCA and their endless and shameless promotion of the following statement:
Working Quietly. Efficiently. For Results.
They are quietly working of course. Yes, very efficiently. But what results do they have to show? One of the lame "works" they claim to have done is to increase total hours of Chinese programming on TV per month i.e. 2002 - 7,433 hours to 2007 - 16,410 hours. The first thing that I realise is they are perhaps talking about Astro and Media Prima. Do anyone notice more chinese programmes played on TV1 and TV2? No? Well, if you try Media Prima's stable of TV stations like 8TV and subscribe to Astro's Dynasty, New Emperor and Gold Packages, you do have lots more programmes to watch. So what does that tell you? Is it a not-for-profit reason Media Prima and Astro is showing so many chinese programmes? No? Then what is MCA talking about working behind quietly? These are entities out to make profits. If it is not profitable to show those programmes, do you think they will bother?
Another lame thing they have been bragging is of course MCA and BN leaders have always emphasised on strengthening Malaysia-China ties resulting in increasing trade with China from RM71.43 billion in 2004 to RM115 billion in 2007. Again, can MCA please explain did DAP ever emphasised on weakening the ties? Also, since other countries around the world which are more critical towards China like US and other G7 countries in matters like China's trade surplus, strong Yuan, human rights records and even on Taiwan yet at the same time increased their trade with China, should we assume MCA contributed to that?
Like I said, if MCA is so good at stealth work, why don't they effectively convince Abdullah to put the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission? Afterall, some MCA members like Lee Hwa Beng and Chew Mei Fun are all for it. Also, why don't MCA also convince Mr Big Ears (who claim to have all Malaysian interests at heart) to set up an Inter-faith Council and Non-Muslim Affairs Department? And why don't MCA as a party, move a motion to resolve the whole problem with Article 121A of the Constitution to remove the ambiguity of which court has the final say?
Yes, MCA, you had more than sufficient time to fix those problems highlighted above. In fact, if you manage to look into it and...Working Quietly. Efficiently. For Results.
You will not be where you are today. It is precisely because you have done nothing concrete that you have to resort to claiming credit for something you have contributed little to achieve. Just because you are conveniently there, it doesn't mean it is yours!
