Fissure between BN parties over the hudud appear to widen withBNBBC.my, the official news portal for the BN Backbenchers' Council publishing a scathing editorial against MCA.
In the editorial entitled 'No need for MCA to also wail about hudud like the DAP', MCA is labelled as “biadap” (insolent) for even openly opposing the hudud.
“It doesn't matter if PAS or Umno proposes (the hudud), DAP will maintain its stance against it...
“However, when MCA, a component party in the BN also questions it then we have ask the Chinese party's motive, especially when its deputy president Wee Ka Siong (left) makes public statements about reviewing MCA's position in the BN,” the editorial reads.
It adds that Wee, who is “speculated to be filling a cabinet post soon”, spoke as if MCA is a dominant party in the BN “without respecting Umno”.
The portal also says that MCA does not even consider the fact that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is still offering cabinet posts to MCA despite its poor showing in the 13th general election.
“MCA should not jump up or try to be a hero...in fighting for the Chinese community. The rakyat knows, DAP is more successful than MCA,” it says.
“MCA need not pretend or threaten to seek support of thousands to surround the Parliament to stop the hudud as only a handful of Chinese voters still trust the party.”
It also advised the MCA to “keep its silence” if it disagrees instead of “stabbing” Umno by openly opposing the hudud.
Wee blames Malaysiakini
Meanwhile, in a separate article BNBBC.my quoted Wee as saying that Malaysiakini had “twisted” his remark on MCA's position in BN at a forum yesterday.
“I said that 'if we are not meant to be' (tidak ada jodoh), but we did so diplomatically. I never said if (Umno) agrees to the hudud, we will leave the BN. I never did.
“I said, if that happened, we will discuss our position, not that we will leave BN..
“Malaysiakini twisted what I said. The more I speak to Malaysiakinithe more I get walloped. This is why I don't answer or say anything to Malaysiakini.”
Malaysiakini yesterday reported that Wee said MCA might review MCA's position in the BN if Umno supports the hudud.
