Dynastic politics: Why does MCA look at DAP, not Najib and dad, Soi Lek and Tee Yong?

The DAP wishes to condemn the MCA Vice President Chor Chee Heung’s statement on ‘dynastic politics’. The MCA and in extension, the BN are hypocrites to be talking about this so-called ‘dynastic politics’ when they themselves practice this.

The current UMNO President and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is the son of the second Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Abdul Razak. Why isn’t the MCA condemning UMNO for this practice?

Hypocrisy seems to be the order of the day for the BN. Everything is considered bad for Pakatan Rakyat when the same thing is considered normal and okay for the BN.

In PR parties, families usually join politics to contribute and sacrifice. Lim Guan Eng was sent into the ISA and prison after entering politics.

Would any father want to see his son in prison? Of course not!

Continue reaping the fruits of plunder

In the BN, children follow their parents into politics not to contribute and sacrifice but to continue to reap the plunder of the nation and to keep the money to themselves.

Mukhriz Mahathir is the son of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed. The Member of Parliament for Labis is Chua Tee Yong, the son of current MCA president Chua Soi Lek. Gerakan Youth Chief Lim Si Pin is the son of Lim Keng Yaik, the former President of Gerakan while MP for Pulai Nur Jazlan is the son of the late Tan Sri Mohamed Rahmat, the former Cabinet Minister and not to forget Hishammuddin is the son of Tun Dato’ Hussein Onn, the third Prime Minister of Malaysia and the grandson of Dato’ Onn Jaafar.

The BN is the one continuing the dynasty of power not the PR. Families who are politically active in the PR are prepared to face persecution together for the rights of Malaysians. The families of the BN are just there to continue the wealth and rule the country as if power is their ‘birth right’.

The DAP urges all Malaysians to judge the hypocrisy of the BN for themselves.
