Stop attacking vernacular school system, say two MCA bureaus


KUALA LUMPUR: Stop attacking the vernacular school system just to score points during party elections because this creates tension among races.

The MCA Youth Education Bureau and MCA Legal Bureau criticised Umno Youth chief aspirant Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir for calling on the Government to abolish the vernacular school system to enhance unity among the people, saying that a single-school system was the only way to check racial polarisation.

“We urge Mukhriz not to purposely play up the education issue simply because of the advent of his party’s polls,” MCA National Youth education bureau chief Chong Sin Woon said yesterday.

“Such sentiment has always been played up by Umno Youth leaders, causing unhappiness among the Chinese community and creating tension among all the races.”

He added that the proposal by Mukhriz contradicted the spirit of the Federal Constitution, which guaranteed the freedom to promote and develop the vernacular school system.

Chong said the vernacular school system was an asset to the country and did not hinder national unity.

“The education sentiment has seriously been politicised, and this will only continue to reduce our nation’s competitiveness,” he added.

He invited Mukhriz to a dialogue with the bureau to have a better understanding of the importance of Chinese education to the community.

MCA Legal Bureau chairman Datuk Leong Tang Chong demanded that the Jerlun MP make a public apology to all Malaysians and refrain from making such political rhetoric.

“The law is clear, and no one is above the law. The supremacy of the Federal Constitution must be respected at all times by all Malay­sians,” he said.

He added that Mukhriz’s call for the abolition of the vernacular school system by integrating it into the national school system flew in the face of Article 152(1)(a) which inter-alia stated that “no person shall be prohibited or prevented from using (other than for official purposes) or from teaching or learning in any other language.

“(b) nothing in the Clause shall prejudice the right of the Federal Government or of any state government to preserve and sustain the use and study of the language of any other community in the Federa­tion”. – The Star

It's clear for everyone to see that the son is carrying his daddy's vision. Old man's Wawasan School is just a veil; a pre-emptive strike to wipe out venacular school. How sad. The old man has just defended his son (no suprise here). Why can't he just retire or just die in peace?
His UMNO Youth comrade has also defended him... again no suprise putting the blame on opposition and those ticking off the 'mamak' instead. Racist? You bet!
These type of issues are not new and everytime UMNO is gearing for an election, for sure some racist dickhead will rear its ugly head. Kissing the keris is another example but suggesting venacular schools are the source of national polarisation is just absurd. It too convenient and powerful to use to fish for some 'hero's votes'.
I don't think this papa's boy got the balls to have a dialogue with you. Maybe he's now hiding under daddy's old sarong and ask daddy to bail him out.
If his true intention is for national unity, please question the unfair, unequal treatment of the citizens of this blessed country. We are rich in resources but still lagging far behind our neighbour. Why? Because of policies that made the rakyat felt unwanted and won't want to contribute! Take the unfair equation out, and unity will come!
If he wins his election, God help us!

Since the establishment of MCA 50 more years ago (correct me if i am mistaken), MCA is the biggest political party of chinese community in Malaysia. Generally she represents the voice of chinese community. However I must say that in recent years, the performance of MCA had sadden me or maybe most of the chinese. In my/our sight, MCA is too "chicken"; always the MR. Yes to Ummo until Ummo views MCA as a follower rather than partner. Many issues had broken our hearts. Honestly it is not the fault of you (Mr. Ong Ka Ting) but the leaders in previous. You know why in the latest national election MCA get such a big hit? It is because the young generation has emerged and got the rights to vote. Why young chinese generation dislike MCA? Since being a child, we had to attend school only half subsidary from government; if school wanna set up a new building or doing renovation, it is always short of money; as a result, we need to help raising the money. The furnitures and buildings condition never in the good form. At the same time, our Malay school got everything. Why there is a difference as we are Malaysian too?The education we get will finally benefit our country. But why there is such a discrimination?Then we go to University afetr form 5 (educational system now). We strive very hard to get good result hoping that it will pave the way for us into the local uni. Well, at the end, we find it that it is just a "joke"; good result wont promise you a seat at uni. Why? Because we are chinese. I was lucky as i managed to get into local uni after form 5 but many of my frens failed to make it even though their results are good too (if it is not brillant, at least it is far more better than many Malays'). In uni, I have found that the attitude of Malay students is a "calamity". Why we let such lazy worms to be there while left the students who are more passionate towards studies?And another irritation is the speak from the extreme Ummo politicus who treat chinese as a "rakyat tumpangan". Too many things happened that make us think our country is a country of Malay. The thing that make us angry the most is you - MCA; Why the situation never change since 20 years ago until now? What have you done whithin these 20 years? Same problems we faced 20 years ago kept repeating until now. How can we pass our confidence to you and let you torture our future?Please give us an answer or start from now we will not longer support you as we got the votes in our hands. We are growing up now and we need to let the things changed. If you do not wan to change, let us change the reprensentative.

不懂政治管理,整天专搞社会福利,一堆肥肠猪脑的猪头参政心态只为求财升官,

在朝的卖华要像在野党一样争取那争取这简直是世界上天大的笑话,当家不当权,立场为何不是用捍卫反而用争取,华人利益节节败退!

除了整天空喊口号还能做些什么?结论:MCA=贪污污桶以华制华的工具,小心报应!

致我党尊贵的同志们,


党的区会主席之位应该要马上改为党员直选制
当今,我党要在来届大选牛扭权坤的话那保住基层党员的选票是必行的首要工作。为了保住基层党员的选票,党的区会主席之位应该要马上改为党员直选制。总会长直选制固然好,但它对基层的震撼度是不够彻底。在政党内不民主机制下的一些我党领导为了保住发财正位,不顾三七二十一,出言#出$·出力#出玄*出色和出卖良心来伤害*加害和误导同志们与热爱马华的选民。要铲除以上的恶习,党的区会主席之位改为党员直选制是必行的党内改革運动。

党的区会主席直选制所能带来的改革:
1。每一位党员的一票的比重相对增加。
2。让党走向民主而不是走向专制。
3。提高了每一位党员的基本参政权。
3。拉近了基层党员和区会主席的关系。
4。否定幽灵党员的投票。
5。否定有官位候选人的不法拉票活动。
6。让党员走向自由而不是成为奴隶。
7。否定PLP型的候选人。
8。敢于反对贪官权贵的横行霸道。  
9。敢于反对这个组织不合理的制度。 
10。增加候选人对自己自我提升能力速度。
11。培养基层党员对候选人的爱戴度。
12。为领导层捐躯的同时也不忘为基层党员捐躯。

最后恳请总会长,总团长三思以上出血贞论。同时也恳请我党的爱党同志们不管你同意或不同意请提供宝贵意见。

且听呤鸣,吾党长存。
