2nd Class Citizen? Not bad if it is.

MCA President Ong Ka Ting called on the Chinese community not to view themselves as 2nd Class Citizens.

Mr. Ong is doing everything he could to motivate us. He knows the reason why we viewed ourselves as 2nd Class as this is a social fact. The problem is still not 2nd class, Mr. Ong. MCA leaders and ministers are 2nd Class. All others are further down a few class, Mr. Ong. I will be happy to be 2nd Class but the social and political fact is that we are not; we are, if lucky, 3rd class or 4th class. The 2nd Class guys gets the remnants of the NEP, AP and leftover projects. We get nothing. My children had to study in private university even though I could not afford it. I had to sell my backside to foot the tuition fees at UTAR which belongs to MCA. The 1st. Class guys gets govt scholarships to Cambridge, Oxford or some Ivy league universities. The ministers could sent their children to Australia and America or Britain. Where they get so much money to do so, is unknown though we know their ministerial salaries aren't much.

My sisters who are teachers had to moonlight to get some extra income to sent their children to universities. They did not cheat anyone nor have any side-income derived from corrupt activities or political hand-outs. They used their time after work at school to conduct tuition classes to earn some extra income to supplement their financial commitments. They were hounded. Now MCA is calling the authorities to stop the harassments because the general election is near and the votes from teachers are sizeable.

Pak Lah said he has been fair, he wants to be fair and had always being fair. How did he define fair? Fair means my children should not get into public universities? Fair means I should not be given APs where the few cronies got tens of thousands each year? Fair means your son and son-in-law gets all the projects? Fair means we must suffer the social discrimination and marginalization which you called it as "Privileges" of the special class? Fair means let UMNO gets everything and anything they want and leave the left-overs to MCA and MIC?

NST parade front-page: Spirit of '57 & Sharing.

I concur with NST, sharing the roti canai was the recipe for all other Malaysians.

Ya, the government has made it clear: we can have roti-canai and share amongst us, the Malays, Chinese and Indians. The special class of Malays would not disturb our roti canai as long as it is one piece to be shared amongst millions of us. Leave the billions dollars to UMNO and millions to MCA, MIC and Gerakan and they would let us live in peace; otherwise, we will be in pieces.


The MCA President and its ministers offered each MCA delegates a watch bearing the MCA Logo. That watch, you can get in Petaling Street for $17 a piece except that it does not have the MCA Logo.

The MCA had being extremely kind to its delegates; at least they had a watch where they could look at and admire when there is no food and no money. The watch was a surprise because MCA had not given them to the delegates over the ages. The leaders felt that its time to give a little to their members as the leaders "sudah kenyang", sudah makan cukup.
