MCA leader: If Dr M can change, Umno can drop ‘spook minorities’ tactics too

Roger 5201: MCA central committee member Ti Lian Ker is part of the party responsible for the mess we are in today.

Why is he talking as if MCA has no part in this "scare tactics which no longer work like they used to" scheme in the era of 1Malaysia? Or was 1Malaysia merely propaganda?

Tan Kim Keong: If what he says is correct, why is Ti in MCA then - a component of the government that is hell-bent on maintaining racial supremacy and religious bigotry?

6th Generation Immigrant: Yes, correctly spoken, but I would advise that MCA take a real hard look at the mirror, to self-evaluate like former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad did.

When starting up as a political association, MCA supported and worked with Onn Jaafar (that failed) but then switched allegiance after HS Lee and Ong Yoke Lin clicked with the Tunku Abdul Rahman.

Like Ti said, times have changed but MCA remains a dinosaur political party created pre-independence. They are detached from the rakyat. Can anyone from MCA think outside of the BN box?

The Mask: Ti, you may have seen the light, but tell this to your boss, MCA president Liow Tiong Lai. He is still in dreamland.

The Umno ship is slowly but surely sinking, especially with all the big guns gathering under Bersatu (Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia).

What big guns have you got in Umno or BN?

Amateur: Ti, what you said is right. That's why we now see the birth of Bersatu. But who are you to lecture your big boss openly?

Sooner or later, MCA would pacify them by saying this is only your opinion and not MCA's. Get yourself prepared to be disciplined soon.

Vision2020: MCA is part of Umno's race and religion narrative, and it was necessary in order for MCA to stay relevant in the Malaysian political landscape after the May 13, 1969 incident.

New Dawn: MCA is telling Umno to change, but first, has MCA itself done anything to change its own tattered image?

Drngsc: Ti, if you wish to fight for a multiracial Malaysia, then leave MCA. Otherwise, what you say sounds hollow.

Ng Sim Bee: MCA and Gerakan should also change their game plan too. You must realise that the Chinese support DAP because of the unfair implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP).

Talk to your partners in BN. Tell them the Chinese are not against the NEP in principle, it's the deviations from the NEP that has put us off.

MalaysianCowsDoFlies: You can start with dissolving MCA and all other race-based parties. What Malaysia needs for the future are parties that can build this country for all Malaysians.

Unafraid: Clearly the age-old Umno strategies to sow fear and doubt in Malay hearts and minds no longer hold. Every time the same old lines are repeated till they sound hollow and hackneyed.

There are also the Umno lackeys who are paid to drum up the emotions of the Malays against an imagined threat by the Chinese and the Christians to their rights, race and religion.

After a while, all these do not have any effect anymore and the rakyat are fed up of such below-the-belt strategies of Umno. Come on, it’s time to grow up.

Senior: Umno needs a bogeyman to keep in check the uninformed Malays, so don’t expect the party to change.

HaveAGreatDay: This is too little and too late to salvage 40 over years of being servile to Umno.

Talk is cheap. You must dare to take the bull by its horns. You can't just keep silent whenever there's injustice just because you are afraid to anger your political master.

On top of that, of great concern to the thinking rakyat is the siphoning of billions of 1MDB funds - where are you folks in demanding accountability from MO1?

Mosquitobrain: Ti, the Malay supremacy mentality is not going to change. 'Keling and Cina kwai' will still be 'keling and Cina kwai'.

For cocky Umno, just as MO1 has said, it's, "I'm not scared of anyone." Ti, you should instead prepare to have your head chopped off.

TimesAchanging: Ti should make it a point to attend Umno general assemblies and listen intently to the things they say there. And he should also monitor everything the red shirts, Perkasa, Isma say.

The rhetoric has increased, not decreased. - Mkini
