MCA Trapped in Fantasy of Its Own Part

Son of former MCA Secretary general Kong Cho Ha, who now heads Perak MCA Youth young professionals bureau wrote a piece accusing DAP of being trapped in a bubble. Despite the crushing 7/11 fate that Malaysians gave to them in the last GE, MCA is still trapped in it's own fantasy. They have this bizarre fantasy that all races are monolithic, and that Malaysians all think like BN, that only chinese can represent and help chinese, the malays, indians and orang asli by members of their own ethnicity. MCA is simply incapable of looking beyond a racially configured electoral field. As a result, they are incapable of being relevant in this rapidly changing nation of ours as indicated by their electoral results. It is ironic however, that the so-called bubble that MCA youth alleges DAP to be stuck in, is one that MCA prays day and night to be in. This racially tinted articulation of the Malaysian electorate is not only racist, it is degrading. But the very DNA of MCA is indeed race based; to peddle such narrative is but self survival. The support given by Malaysian Chinese to DAP in 2008 is not something that DAP takes for granted, but they did so because of UMNO, MCA and MIC'S failure to prove the relevance of the model of racial representation. In 2013, the increase of support for DAP from all races was because we showed our capability to govern by our principles and values which has always been the polar opposite of BN. DAP will soldier on for the Malaysian Malaysia that we seek, come what may. If MCA wishes to call the Malaysian Chinese's support a bubble, it is up to them, they should just wake up from their fantasy that the malaysian electorate- in their case Malaysian Chinese- are still bound by the racial model they are fighting fruitlessly to preserve. The problems that plague Malaysia today such as GST, youth unemployment, a substandard yet expensive education system, mass corruption are problems faced by Malaysians of all races. MCA and their BN masters may have sown the seed for us all to fall together up to this point in history. But we, all Malaysians can turn the tide by charting a different future, and rise together. We are all in this together.
