DAP eliminating MCA in desperate attempt to be part of federal govt, Ti claims

PETALING JAYA: The move by DAP to eliminate MCA from Malaysian politics will not bring any benefit to the Chinese community other than helping DAP's ambition to become part of the Federal Government, said MCA publicity spokesperson Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker.
He said after years of MCA's contributions towards nation building, community services and playing a moderating role in national politics, DAP is now proposing to eliminate MCA and Gerakan.
"If DAP is responsible, they must account to the community their real intentions of wanting to eliminate MCA and Gerakan.
"DAP's sole interest is to take ownership of the Chinese political representation. They desperately want to be part of the federal government," Ti said in a statement.
He said comparing apple to apple, MCA and Gerakan have served the Chinese community much more effectively than DAP despite DAP commanding a bigger number of representatives and support.
He pointed out that despite DAP's high vocal cords on political rhetoric and attacking MCA as allegedly weak, DAP has nothing much to show in terms of delivery.
He said the party in its two terms of governing Penang has brought more hardship to the poor, high end property development and corruption.
"In the name of democracy, DAP should not be talking of elimination of competition and choice. By allowing competition and choice, there will be improvement. Why deprive the community of a choice to choose a better party to represent their interest by going for the kill?" Ti said.
He added that there are no holds barred for DAP when it comes to selling out their principles, making U-turns and sucking up to any Malay political personalities who can assist them in their political ambitions.
The MCA Central Committee Member said DAP was the greatest critics of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when he was in office for 22 years.
Ti said today they have made U-turns and swallowed their pride by embracing and promoting Mahathir as their future Prime Minister despite attacking him viciously and vociferously for decades.
He added that they have even given up their Rocket logo for PKR's in an attempt to win Malay votes.
