Currently led by Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, the Malaysian Chinese Association or MCS was formed in 1949 and is seen as the Chinese voice in the federal government and in the BN coalition. MCA is one of the three component parties in the BN and is a political party that supposedly represents the Chinese ethnic in Malaysia. In the early years, most of the party leaders were army leaders of the Kuomintang. The first chairman of MCA was Mr Leong Yew Koh, who eventually became a cabinet minister before becoming the governor of Malacca. Tun Henry H.S Lee, who was Malaysia's first Finance Minister held a colonel post with the Kuomintang while Dr Lim Chong Eu was a colonel doctor with the army. The original intention of forming the party was to have an alternative to oppose the Malayan Communist Party, a move supported by the then British Reoccupation Authority. Working very closely with UMNO and MIC (Malaysian Indian Congress), the MCA has strong presence in the political landscape of the country. Apart from having one of the biggest number in membership, it also hold some corporate companies like Huaren Holdings while MCA too owns and controls some media companies, a fact that is not very well received by many sectors who feel that political parties cannot own media as it might misuse them. MCA owns the best selling English daily in Malaysia, The Star, three of the best selling Chinese dailies, Nanyang Siang Pau, Sin Chew Jit Poh and China Press and one of the daily in North Malaysia the Guang Ming Daily. The disapproval was seen too as some for the reason of the division within the party which formed the Team B. Along with BN, MCA suffered one of their worst defeats in the most recent 2008 elections, among some top names who were regarded as ‘strongholds' lost in their constituencies thereby losing their seats as well. Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Datuk Tan Chai Ho were among the losers. This had also prompted party chairman Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting to reject any minister post in the government.

I had been supporting MCA for 50 years until a friend asked me to read alternative news in the Internet. Reading mainstream news alone is not enough to get a fair view of the current political situation. From now on, I told my family never to vote for BN ever again. MCA had failed in its role to represent the Chinese. The leaders are coward and what they did is to please UMNO only. My advice is for MCA to leave BN and join PR. Why should the Chinese people support a party who only think of the supremacy of one race. Since DSAI is fighting for people supremacy, we should support them and let PR rule for one term. If they keep to their promises to be fair to all, then we continue to support them, otherwise vote them out in the next GE. Fair?

YOU PRESENT LOT OF DOGS IS A COMPLETE FAILURE.

Lots of brilliant minds in the MCA, just stop the corruption and turn into a new leaf... join the DAP and give Malaysia a better future. Now the biggest apple polisher is the Minister of Health.. By looking at him once make me sick.. Looking at him twice make me vomit. Looking at him trice make me faint. Every time when UMMO condemed the opposittion, you can find him there... with his gold fish eyes and bull dog mouth and then he will start barking. He a UMMO's dog. When UMMO say hush, hush, and then he will start barking. That why he is a running dog.. ( in cantonese it means a betrayal).

A BIG lesson to be learnt from the recent general election.

Politics in the MCA now is about elites and their struggle for power against one another and who literally buy support through handouts.History teaches us that MCA leaders ought to appear distinguished and be above average in

Dun try to cheat yourself anymore that you can change the BN. What happen in Perak on 3rd March 2009 showed that you have no control/influence over the event and further more MCA dun dare to say anythings about it. You cannot represent anyone else from the citizen in BN coz you have no say even somethings against the law and benefit of the citizen that you claim you can represent them in BN.
