MCA NO. 2 TALKS A LOT BUT STEERS CLEAR OF 'PUPPETMASTER' NAJIB: People with own agenda out to destroy Malaysia

DATUK Dr Wee Ka Siong has been bombarded with this question: what is happening to the country – of late.
While the quick-thinking leader finds it hard to field this one question, he somehow sums up the current scenario in the country as unprecedented.
This question came from many people he met, especially investors, because the political situation has further compounded the flagging economy.
“Everybody is adversely affected – one way or other – by the sliding ringgit and sluggish economy, falling prices of commodities and oil,” he said in an interview yesterday.
Ahead of the MCA annual general meeting this weekend, Dr Wee foresees the economy, racial tension and Chinese primary schools to be hot topics.
“Racial tension is really bad,” he said, cautioning that it will be hard to mend broken racial relations.
Singling out recent racially charged episodes – the Sept 16 red-shirt rally and threats of more rallies in Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur, known as Chinatown, by an Umno leader and the threat by an Umno MP to slap the Chinese – Dr Wee said MCA is not a racist party but has to stand up for the community.
“Parading with banners asking to close down SJKC (Chinese primary schools) during the Sept 16 rally is seditious,” Dr Wee said, adding that Chinese primary schools and MCA are one entity and that the right to mother-tongue education is enshrined under the Federal Constitution.
He is also upset with racists who blame Chinese primary schools for disunity in the country, challenging them to show proof.
“There is more to unity in the country. Vernacular schools do not cause disunity,” he said.

In fact, Dr Wee said, having many Malaysians with a good command of Chinese has given the country an edge in doing business with China.
Likewise, Malaysians who have a good command of Bahasa Malaysia and Tamil are also assets. They can tap the markets in Indonesia and India.
“I like the song Malaysia Truly Asia and this is our strength," Dr Wee said.
However, he said there are some people with their own agenda who are out to destroy the country’s assets instead of safeguarding them.
Dr Wee said the racists – in the name of defending their race and religion – are actually inflicting harm on the people and nation.
He also told off DAP for its divisive politics, describing the party as one that is good at spinning each and every issue for political mileage.
“I read three languages (Chinese, Malay and English) and I can see how stories are being spun in social media, pitting the races against each other.
“We may be from different sides of the political divide but we must have the interests of the country at heart.
“What do you think investors will do when they keep reading bad things about the country every day?” Dr Wee said.
He said Sungei Besar Umno chief Datuk Jamal Md Yunos, who has threatened to hold more rallies in Petaling Street, is frightening away tourists and investors alike.
The same applies to Umno's Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, who threatened to slap Chinese who bring their complaints overseas or think they have a “godfather” and protection from abroad, in direct reference to China, with whom Malaysia enjoys good bila­teral relations.
Tajuddin said this when the media asked him to comment on the visit of China’s ambassador Dr Huang Huikang to Petaling Street to deliver moon cakes two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival recently.
While the MCA central delegates are expected to debate on the racial situation in the country, Dr Wee hopes that they will see and accept the fact that there are also many good leaders in Umno.
He said they are recognised as being very professional, visionary, rational and moderate Malaysians.
Dr Wee said people must not lose sight of the good leaders in their midst.
As for the 66-year-old MCA, he said it is united and president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has put in place the party's transformation plans after taking over the helm in December 2013.
Like any organisation, unity will give the party strength to weather the uncertainties from outside and it hopes to emerge stronger and more united in the process. - ANN
