Debate topic gives MCA the upper hand
Some commentators, however, say the debate may not move the Chinese ground back to the ruling coalition, as Chua wants.
Khoo Kay Peng, who was formerly with a Gerakan think-tank, denounced the title of the debate, "Chinese at a Crossroads: Is the Two-Party System Becoming a Two-Race System?" as "racist" and "stupid".
"It is crafted out because of a political motive. It is slumping towards MCA.
"They are just implying that if we vote for Pakatan Rakyat, the Chinese will be in the opposition while Malays will be in the government. This is ridiculous," Khoo (right) said.
Whatever the situation, he said, there were still some Chinese who would vote for the BN and some Malays would vote for Pakatan, so it is wrong to suggest there will be a two-race system.
The debate should instead focus on national issues such as corruption and reform.
"We should talk about the country. Malaysia is now at the crossroad... This shows the quality of organiser."
Khoo also believes that the MCA needs to do more to win the support of the Chinese community.
"Chua's party should push BN to a becoming a trully multiracial party, no more race-based parties."

ReplyDeleteDuring the Chua Soi Lek/ Lim Guan Eng debate, a group of malaysians decided to voice out their concerns. Shouting "Stop Lynas, Stop Cynide, Stop Corruption and Save Jalan Sultan" they stood strong from 5pm to almost 7pm outside the entrance of Berjaya Times Square.Chua Soi Lek opted not to see the protesters and walked out another door but Lim Guan Eng and Lim Kit Siang happily came to shake hand and listen to the protestors.
Lim guan eng said "PAS never kill a Chinese" what is the meaning ? Is lim guan eng urge Chinese to vote PAS because PAS never kill a Chinese
