MCA: Release Kok, RPK from ISA

Star | The MCA has called for Seputeh MP Teresa Kok and Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin to be released from their arrests under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said Kok and Raja Petra should be investigated under other laws and be charged in court if there was evidence.

Press Statement by Seven MCA PJ Utara

marhaen
MCA PJ UTARA 7 BRANCHES
PRESS CONFERENCE
THE SAIFUL BUKHARI MEDICAL REPORT
TUESDAY 29 JULY 2008, 11AM
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press.

1. We meet here today because we, being members of 7 branches of MCA PJ Utara representing more than 1000 members of MCA, wish to do our civic duty to the Rakyat.

2. We note that MCA cannot remain silent anymore, lest we be accused (if not already accused) of being accomplices to diabolical conspiracies.

3. In particular, we refer to the medical report widely publicized on the internet by Malaysia Today, malaysiakini and countless other blogs. We had also taken the liberty to check on the comments contained in the medical report dated 28 June 2008 conducted on Mohd Saiful Bukhari Bin Azlan by Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid, the Medical Officer at Hospital Pusrawi Sdn Bhd. Three doctors we have checked with have stated that the comments meant that the results for the alleged sodomy is ‘negative’. They also confirmed that a Doctor can never change a medical report.

4. Assuming that the said medical report is true – and we call on Hospital Pusrawi to confirm or deny this – then:

a. We call on the Police, the Attorney-General, the MCA top leadership and the UMNO top leadership to immediately reveal in full all the evidence against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and stop withholding vital evidence and decide to charge, or not to charge, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Deputy IGP Tan Sri Ismail Omar should also refrain from making statements that the internet reports on the said medical report were aimed at confusing the people when, in the same breath, he declines to comment on the medical report. Such statements by the Deputy IGP only serve to further the perception that the police is pulling out all stops to withhold evidence crucial to the innocence of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, a fellow citizen of our country, while at the same time fabricates, or attempts to fabricate, evidence against a fellow citizen of our country.

b. This “bogus charge” fiasco is also causing untold damage and hurt to our economy, our integrity as a nation. Daily, we are being compared to countries like Zimbabwe and other countries where despotic rulers reign. We cannot in all conscience be a party to the machinations by executive arms of the government to withhold/fabricate evidence against a citizen of our country.

5. Therefore, we urge the Police, the Attorney-General and the government to treat all our citizens fairly, with transparency, without withholding of crucial evidence and with the proper application of the rule of law.

Selangor MCA supports pig farming project

Sun2surf - In stark contrast to Umno, Selangor MCA lends support to the new state government over the centralised pig farming project, and showed that it will not oppose for the sake of opposing.

Both Selangor MCA state liaison chief Datuk Ch'ng Toh Eng and his deputy, Datuk Tang See Hang, have given the thumbs-up to Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim for his decision to implement the project, which was approved by the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) government, in Ladang Tumbuk, Mukim Batu in Kuala Langat.

Khalid has incurred the wrath of some non-governmental organisations, which said the project will damage the environment, and drew flak from state Umno assemblymen.

Ch'ng urged the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government to implement the project as soon as possible and disagreed with Umno's Sementa assemblyman Datuk Abdul Rahman Palil who objected to the project by saying it may give rise to a sensitive issue as there are more Malays than people from other races staying around the pig farming area.

Abdul Rahman should not harbour such narrow-minded thinking, he said in a press statement.

Ch'ng, who is the shadow exco member monitoring the land development, finance, and state economic action committee as well as the youth and sports committee, reminded Umno elected representatives, who are up in arms against the project, that it was the previous BN state government which approved the project. more...

No2umnO - wak tak nak cerita tentang babi tetapi sikap orang bangsa Cina. Mana mana kepentingan untuk bangsa mereka, mereka akan setuju. Soal politik di ketepikan untuk kepentingan bangsa. Di dalam BN, ada MCA dan GERAKAN dan di dalam PR, ada DAP. Mana mana parti yang bertanding, mereka ada parti komponen yang memperjuangkan bangsa mereka. Penubuhan PAS sejak awal di tentang oleh UMNO. Sejak itu, PAS diugut dan diserang. Bangsa Melayu terbahagi kepada 3 kategori. Melayu buat derk, melayu Islam dan melayu pengkhianat. Sampai bila pun tak kan selesai.

Maka kesimpulannya, UMNO sudah berkuasa sejak dulu. Kalau kita cerita tentang hak orang Melayu, tanya sama UMNO, siapa yang bawa masuk orang asing ke Tanah Melayu? Kalau cerita tentang BABI, siapa yang senyap sejak dulu? Dan kalau cerita tentang kepercayaan Melayu, apa punca Melayu hilang percaya pada pemimpin bangsa sendiri?

Tapi Melayu ni terkenal dengan sikap degil, keras kepala, sombong, ego dan bercampur semua sikap buruk yang ada. Tak pernah wak lihat DAP berbalah dengan parti kaum Cina yang lain. Cuma MCA baru baru ini sudah mula berbudaya UMNO apabila perbalahan rebut kuasa yang berlaku dalam isu video Soi Lek. Tapi itu antara MCA sendiri.

Yang paling kecoh berbalah sesama kaum sendiri adalah kaum Melayu dan India. Mungkin itu sebab kita tak maju maju. Sibuk menyerang dan diserang. Lupa nak langkah ke hadapan. Isu berpunca oleh Terresa Kok, Babi di bela oleh kaum Cina, tapi yang kecoh sekarang UMNO dan MB Selangor. Hehehehe.....menarik, memang menarik. Melayu berbalah sesama sendiri, tak sedar kandang semakin luas, babi dah semakin gemok gemok. Lepas ni kalau asyik gaduh dan lupa nak ternak binatang, kita ramai ramai makan babi, beli dari kaum Cina.

Chew today's MOST STUPID MP

Do you want a repeat of May 13 riot?
joannekhoo

(...) The May 13 ethnic riot in 1969 was a dark chapter in Malaysia’s political history where political violence and manipulation overshadowed the democratic process as well as the voice of the people. Invoking the bitter memories of this tragic incident for political gain is a huge insult to those who died, the surviving victims and their families. This veiled threat to voters not to support the opposition parties is shameless and unbecoming of a responsible political leader.

If Chew is aware of certain quarters planning to use violence in response to a certain electoral outcome, she who has been speaking tirelessly on public safety should lodge a police report immediately and assist in the police investigation.

If she is merely speculating, we are truly disappointed that she has stooped so low in fishing for support. Politicians should not behave like gangsters. They should not use the threat of violence to solicit vote, as gangsters do to extort money.

By making this statement, Chew has in fact violated Section 9 (1) of the Election Offences Act 1954:

Undue influence

9. (1) Every person who, before, during or after an election, directly or indirectly, by himself or by any other person on his behalf, makes use of or threatens to make use of any force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts or threatens to inflict, by himself or by any other person, any temporal or spiritual injury, damage, harm, or loss upon or against any person in order to induce or compel such person to vote or refrain from voting, or on account of such person having voted or refrained from voting, at any election, or who by abduction, duress, or any fraudulent device or contrivance impedes or prevents the free exercise of the franchise of any elector or voter, or thereby compels, induces, or prevails upon any elector or voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or who directly or indirectly interferes or attempts to interfere with the free exercise by any person of any electoral right shall be guilty of the offence of undue influence.

While waiting for the Election Commission to investigate and lodge a police report, we call upon Chew to do the honorable thing. She should retract her statement and apologize unreservedly for her fear-mongering act. She must condemn unreservedly the use of political violence in Malaysia. More...

MCA DAH KECOH CARI GANTI SOI LEK

MCA serah 3 nama ganti Menteri Kesihatan
Posted by Haniza Talha
Malaysiatoday

KUALA LUMPUR 2 Jan. – MCA telah menyerahkan beberapa nama kepada Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi bagi menentukan pengganti Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek yang mengumumkan peletakan jawatan dalam Kabinet dan parti hari ini.

Presiden MCA, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting berkata, pihaknya akan menghormati apa juga keputusan yang dilakukan oleh Perdana Menteri selaku Pengerusi Barisan Nasional (BN).

‘‘Saya telah berbincang perkara ini dengan Perdana Menteri menerusi telefon sebentar tadi dan MCA menyerahkan kepada beliau untuk membuat keputusan.

‘‘Bagaimanapun saya tidak boleh mendedahkan senarai calon yang diputuskan oleh parti,’’ katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat tergempar Majlis Tertinggi MCA berhubung peletakan jawatan Soi Lek di Wisma MCA, di sini hari ini.

Kira-kira 70 wartawan dan jurugambar dari dalam dan luar negara penuh sesak dalam dewan untuk menghadiri sidang akhbar itu.

Soi Lek, 61, yang juga Naib Presiden MCA mengambil keputusan meletakkan jawatan dalam kerajaan dan parti ekoran pengedaran salinan cakera video digital (DVD) aksi beliau mengadakan hubungan seks dengan seorang wanita.

Beliau turut melepaskan kerusi Parlimen Labis, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perhubungan MCA Johor dan Pengerusi MCA Bahagian Batu Pahat.

Semalam pada sidang akhbar di Labis, Soi Lek mengaku lelaki dalam DVD itu adalah beliau dan menyifatkan wanita itu adalah kawan baiknya.

Mengulas lanjut, Ka Ting berkata, MCA akan patuh dengan apa juga keputusan Perdana Menteri untuk menamakan pengganti Soi Lek.

Sementara itu Ka Ting berkata, Majlis Tertinggi MCA kesal dengan keputusan Soi Lek melepaskan semua jawatan dalam kerajaan dan parti.

Pihak parti juga katanya, kesal menerima keputusan itu tetapi menghormati langkah pemimpin berkenaan yang bertanggungjawab terhadap perbuatan yang dilakukannya.

Mengenai jawatan yang dipegang oleh Soi Lek dalam parti, beliau memberitahu, ia akan diputuskan semasa mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja Pusat pada 8 Januari ini.

‘‘Bagi tempoh 6 hari itu, Ecxo Johor yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Bekok, Tan Kok Hong akan memangku tugas Pengerusi Perhubungan MCA Johor sehingga sebarang keputusan diambil.

‘‘Mengikut Perlembagaan MCA pula, jawatan Pengerusi MCA Bahagian Batu Pahat akan diambil alih oleh timbalannya (Koh Chee Chai),” ujarnya.

Ka Ting mengakui peletakan jawatan Soi Lek satu kehilangan besar kepada parti tetapi ia adalah keputusan peribadi yang perlu dihormati. UTUSAN

No2umno - Pelik bin ajaib. Kalau orang melayu bilang, Mayat belum kebumi, harta dah sibuk dibicara. Dan begitu lah sikap MCA yang kononnya kecewa dengan pemberhentian Chua Soi Lek, tapi di dalam masa yang sama mereka sudah mencalunkan 3 nama untuk jadi Menteri Kesihatan. Adakah mereka boleh membuat keputusan untuk meletakkan nama calun atau Pak Lah sudah diperkudakan MCA?
