MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) PDF Print E-mail

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.

Actually, MCA was once a great party but due to dollar sign, they eventually sell their souls to become dogs.
I wonder how the founder sees if they are still around ?

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?

The most democratic party in Malaysia.

Not like another party running by father and son.

Not like another party just follow their president without thinking.

Even a super star in sex video can contest for a post.

Bravo MCA.

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.

MCA, please wake up this time. You need to act against the recent remark by Ahmad racial statement. Don't be the YES MAN forever,or else MCA will be totally ignored by all the Chinese Malaysian in the next election.

You have been the YES MAN for the past 50 years, please WAKE UP!!!

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
decorum so as to earn respect of the people.

Eksklusif: Bongkar, Dosa Najib Razak Semasa Menjawat Jawatan Menteri Besar Pahang !!


Dikatakan semasa jadi Menteri Besar Pahang beliau bersahabat baik dengan seorang ahli perniagaan muda dari Pekan sehingga boleh duduk sekereta resmi dan selalu berulang alik ke Singapura memburu perempuan. Ahli perniaan ini sentiasa mendapat kawasan balak dan sentiasa mendapat maklumat di atas segala keputusan EXCO bersabit dengan perkara-perkara untuk mencari rezeki dari Kerajaan Negeri. Sekarang ini beliau telah kaya raya. Apa betulkah atau hanya satu fitnah?

Dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 Datuk Najib juga dikatakan pernah dijumpai di Singapura di tempat-tempat yang sulit bersama-sama seorang datuk bekas orang kuat Promet dengan artis-artis perempuan. Katanya membincangkan hal-hal pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong. Dari laporan yang dipercayai satu raket korupsi di belakang pembangunan Wilayah Janda Baik, Bentong telah berlaku. Cuba siasat siapakah orang-orang yang banyak memiliki tanah-tanah di Janda Baik. Kononnya beliau juga dikatakan dalam tahun-tahun 84-85 telah mengadakan banyak perhubungan sulit (seks) dengan seorang kerabat diraja salah sebuah negeri di Semenanjung. Datuk Najib dikatakan pernah pergi ke rumah Tengku itu pada waktu malam dihantar oleh salah seorang bekas Setiausaha Sulitnya yang dibawa dari Kuala Lumpur. Perkara ini bukan rahsia lagi bagi penduduk Kuantan, tidak dihebohkan kerana melibatkan keluarga raja.

Kononnya cerita ini diceritakan sendiri oleh orang istana yang paling hampir dengan Tengku itu. Jika ini betul ia tidak patut berlaku atau dilakukan oleh seorang pemimpin yang menjadi ketua pemerintah negeri dan melibatkan pula kerabat di Raja. Inilah dikatakan orang harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi. Apa dihairankan, kebuasan nafsu Najib memang amat diketahui sejak belum menjadi Menteri Besar lagi. Hubungan sulit dengan perempuan-perempuan dari segala bangsa dan artis-artis tempatan adalah cakapan harian orang di Kuala Lumpur.

Dikatakan orang juga, amalan “corruption” (rasuah) sangat hebat berlaku semasa Encik Hamid menjadi P.A. Datuk Najib. Semasa Encik Hamid berhenti, satu sijil ‘fixed deposit’ sebanyak $500,000.00 telah dijumpai oleh isteri Encik Hamid yang sekarang sudah dicerai. Fixed deposit itu dijumpai dalam beg “james bond” Encik Hamid. Ini kalau kita fikir adakah wang Encik Hamid atau wang Datuk Najib. Encik Hamid pernah berkata, Datuk Najib tak pernah menukar ceknya untuk berbelanja di rumah atau lain-lainnya, kerana cash (wang tunai) banyak terlonggok di rumahnya. Encik Hamid pernah berkata yang hal dan rahsia Datuk Najib semua dalam poketnya. Ini mungkin fitnah orang yang iri hati pada Encik Hamid kerana dia sangat dipercayai oleh Najib. Sabarlah…

Datuk Najib sentiasa menggunakan ketua-ketua pejabat dan agensi-agensi Kerajaan (berkanun) untuk mendapatkan wang. Alasan kononnya untuk ‘political fund’, seperti LKNP, LKPP, ASPA dan Syarikat Permodalan Pahang. Kegiatan-kegiatan agensi tersebut perlu disiasat, terutama LKPP atas hal jual dan beli ladang dan kilang-kilang. Bekas Pengurus Besar Syarikat Permodalan Pahang, yang sebelum itu hanya seorang guru biasa lulusan maktab, rumahnya macam istana, selalu berulang-alik ke Jakarta dan luar negeri bersama seorang pembantu wanitanya, kononnya isteri orang. Hubungan mereka berdua dikatakan sangat rapat. Kerja-kerja beliau dikatakan sentiasa mendapat restu dari Datuk Najib. Maklumlah mereka berdua ni dalam perahu yang sama. Apa sudah jadi dengan syarikat itu sekarang? Beratus juta duit rakyat Pahang lesap Syarikat terpaksa ditutup kerana bankrap. Bossnya senang lenang. Najib patut bertanggungjawab.

Kononnya di Kuala Lumpur sentiasa mengadakan parti-parti sulit, mabok dengan perempuan-perempuan artis yang selalu ada bersama boss Promet itu dan yang ada hubungan perniagaan rapat dengan seorang peniaga Cina bersama Andrew Leong dari Syarikat Johan Holding. Datuk Najib juga dikatakan kononnya telah bersekedudukan dengan seorang yang berasal dari Kementeian Kewangan yapng mana ada hubungan dengan kontrek pembelian computer yang berharga di antara 3-4 juta ringgit semasa beliau berkhidmat di Kementerian Kewangan sebagai Timbalan Menteri.

Encik Hamid bekas PA nya itu adalah salah seorang orang suruhan Datuk Najib untuk mengutip wang-wang korupsi di sana sini, maka itulah Datuk Najib membawa Hamid dari Kementerian Kewangan yang berasal dari seorang Kerani sahaja ke Kuantan. Encik Hamid dikatakan banyak menyimpan rahsia Datuk Najib dan tahu banyak tentang projek-projek yang Najib ada berkepentingan.


Artikel ini dipetik dari blog sahabat matsamankati. Sebenarnya semasa Najib jadi MB Pahang itulah juga dipercayai Rosmah Mansor mula masuk jarum untuk memancing anak Tun Razak itu. Ikuti pendedahan seterusnya bagaimana Rosmah boleh memperdayakan Najib hingga beliau sanggup memisahkan isterinya untuk membeli Rosmah dengan harga jutaan ringgit. Apakah rahsia disebalik perkara ini. Ternyata, langkah Rosmah menjadi orang nombor satu sudah bermula sejak Najib bergelar MB Pahang lagi. Najib juga dikatakan tidak sempat menamatkan pengajiannya di England, dan dalam usia muda beliau telah dipanggil balik ke Pahang untuk menjadi Menteri Besar ketika itu

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.
