MCA is having its party election starting from June 2008. As predicted, many of those who lost in the election choose to leave the party and join PR, especially PKR. I wonder how these people could just leave a party and join the other simply because they lost in the election, which is very normal in an election-either you win or lose.
Well, a very good example is a group lead by Leong Kok Wai, who contested for Pandan Division Chairman, and lost by 4 votes. He refused to accept the result, choose to threaten to leave the party if his request to announce the election void has not been fulfilled. I am really disappointed with the way he handling party election and if this is the attitude, i think he better leave the party than making more damages within the party.
Among those who "betrayed" their party, Datin Paduka Tan Yee Kew is the most high profile politician, who reportedly lead a group of "2,000 MCA members" to quit and join PKR. On the glorious welcoming ceremony attended by Anwar Ibrahim, she openly criticised MCA and BN for not able to deliver and help the people. Looks who talking? A MCA member who has been given chance to be 2 term Klang MP and once holds a position of Parliamentary Secretary and who got the title of "Datin Paduka" now says she found a new life in PKR and condemning BN! Datin Paduka, you have your absolute freedom to choose your political path, but please don't be like the famous "Changing Face" from Sichuan and be graceful of who gave you the opportunity that make you you.
MCA is sick, really sick because having too many phantom members. Just ask around, how many of them really know that they are MCA members? For those who know that they are MCA member, how many of them really loyal to the party? or joining because they want to get something from the party. To be able to go further to the higher position in the party, you need to have a lot of member in your branch (preferably your relatives and friends so that you will not be challenged and to make your branch become your family treasure), so that you could have more divisional representatives and hence make you more powerful and have more bargain power in the division.
This is why MCA has more than a million members but suffered a huge defeat in the recent general election. The huge numbers is a liability for the party. Most of them were brought in to make someone more powerful with more representative, others were here for personal interest. I think it is time to clear the party from these members. Those who wish to leave the party and join PR, let them go, i think it is good for the party as those who stay during the hard time is the one who really loyal and love the party.
I know is hard to see so many leaving, but this is the reality. Only in time like this, you will see the real face of those hypocrite. MCA need to stand up again after the party election! No matter who lead the party, a drastic reform in needed to bring back the party.

That's the reality in politics. How many politicians out there join politics to improve the quality of life of the people. I dare say NIL. It's all about oneself. If that carrot is gone, just jump ship! That's real world stuff. Politicians are just like footballers. When some kid joins a club, he'll announce how proud he's to wear the club's crest near to his heart. But when it's time to negotiate a contract or another club looking to buy him over, usually footballers will hold their club in ransom. Pay me double of what I earn or I'll leave. Look at Arsenal being held ransom by Adebayor. Same thing as politics!
One needs to accept that in a voting process, there must be a winner; hence there must be a loser. If you can't accept defeat, DON'T BLOODY PLAY THE GAME! I don't know this guy Leong but to me he sounds like a sore loser. Don't deserve to be called a leader. All must understand that no man is bigger than the party.
