MCA President Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said he would defend his post to "carry out the unfinished reform" while former President Tan Seri Ong Ka Ting hinted that he would be "duty-bound".
Former Vice-President Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is still observing and former Deputy President is planning without taking any action.
MCA's chaos has not been solved yet. Instead, it has been caught in more and more factional deadlocks. Such a traumatic boat has sailed to the edge of a cliff.
Who will lead MCA? The Chinese community is no longer interested in the question.
However, as a half-century-old party, MCA cannot avoid the question.
MCA really needs to save itself when Pakatan Rakyat is rising and the Chinese community is giving up hope. However, where is the "saviour" that can overturn the situation of MCA?
Some people said that MCA has lost its direction after the death of Tun Tan Cheng Lock. There are only "administrators" but no "leader" in MCA since then.
Some even criticised more harshly by saying that most of the MCA leaders cannot even play the "administrator" role well, let alone to run the country.
However, MCA must have a helmsman. Party members must keep their eyes wide open and make a painful decision. Even though they have to cast their votes with tears, they still have to elect one (if any) leader that they think is able to lead MCA out of the crisis and revive the party.
I am not a MCA member. I am not eligible and do not even bother to deeply think about it. I am more concerned and worried about the country. We have a lot of political parties and politicians but what are they actually thinking? Are they prioritising the country's affairs? Are they committed to implement the idea of democracy? Or have they been corrupted by the temptation of power and are indulged in power fighting?
The people can tolerate various chaoses in PKR as they think it is only a new party which has just been set up10 years ago. Thus, it should be given time to grow. But MCA has been established for 61 years. If it is still unable to become mature after 61 years and if it still cannot learn a lesson from the political tsunami during the 8 March general elections, then there is only one path left for MCA, that is: to keep on sinking!
MCA members and leaders should clearly understand that MCA can only rely on its self-reflection and reform to revive.
The problem is, MCA has wasted two years time without carrying out a reflection. It has run out of track and caught in an endless internal friction.
I believe that MCA members are very anxious now as they cannot afford choosing a wrong leader but they do not have much choices.
I have once read a book. The book made a request "as simple as": "The job of a leader is to achieve the goal of promoting public interests. Anyone can take the position but the only criterion is: we should be happier when he steps down compared to the time when he takes the office."
The request is just "as simple as" that but how "not simple" it is when it is being applied to MCA members! (By LIM MUN FAH/Translated by SOONG PHUI JEE/Sin Chew Daily)
