MCA And Gerakan Are Puppets Of UMNO Because They Fear The Deputy Prime Minister More Than Truth And Justice (en/cn)

Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 7 July 2014

MCA And Gerakan Are Puppets Of UMNO Because They Fear The Deputy Prime Minister More Than Truth And Justice – Liow Tiong Lai And Mah Siew Keong Has Taken The Unprincipled Stand Of Supporting Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s Racist And Extremist Threats Of May 13 Incident Against Non-Malays And Non-Muslims.

No amount of cowardly and deceitful whitewashing by MCA President Liow Tiong Lai and Gerakan President Datuk Mah Siew Keong can hide the truth that both Gerakan and MCA supports the Deputy Prime Minister in making racist, bigoted and extremist threats of May 13 incidents against non-Malays and non-Muslims. Both had tried to whitewash Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s threats of another May 13 if the Malays and Muslims continue to be insulted by casually dismissing the threat as just a “reminder” to Malaysians not to take the country’s peace for granted.

How can Muhyiddin’s threats be a reminder when only the non-Malays and non-Muslims are blamed? By assigning blame on the non-Muslims and non-Malays for causing any future May 13 riots, Muhyiddin is first dehumanizing them should there be any violence on non-Muslim and non-Malays.

Tan Sri Muhyiddin has obviously lied when he failed to show proof of non-Malay nor non-Muslim organisations insulting Malays and Muslims. Instead pro-UMNO groups have threatened the lives or to hurt DAP leaders, attacked and threatened to burn down DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur and offices in Kuantan without any action against the perpetrators.

Because they fear the Deputy Prime Minister more than truth and justice, Liow Tiong Lai and Mah Siew Keong has taken the unprincipled stand of supporting Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s racist and extremist threats against non-Malays and non-Muslims. Malaysians have no hopes of a better future under BN when Ministerial positions are more valuable than respect for justice, freedom and democracy in Malaysia.

Liow does not even have the courage to state his position whether he agreed with what Tan Sri Muhyiddin had said and tried to divert attention by saying that the country must unite in the fight against extremists and militants. Does the MCA President have the courage to fight against extremists when it is the Deputy Prime Minister himself?

This is the same MCA and Gerakan of the past, continually dominated not only by UMNO but also paralysed by fear of losing their perk and privileges of power and Ministerial office. For those who harbor some hopes of a different MCA and Gerakan that dares to stand up to the politics of lies, threats and fear of UMNO, it is time to wake up and give up on BN by recalling former MCA President Tan Sri Chua Soi Lek’s words that Liow Tiong Lai is the worst MCA President ever because Liow has no guts.

How can UMNO respect a MCA to even dare to fight for the rights of the rakyat against UMNO, when MCA dare not even put up a candidate to stand in the recent Bukit Glugor parliamentary by-election? MCA and Gerakan is just another mindless and obedient puppet of UMNO.

民主行动党兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英在2014日于吉隆坡发表声明:

马华和民政党只是巫统的傀儡,因为他们对副首相的惧怕甚于真理和公义,在丹斯里慕尤丁发表针对非马来人和非穆斯林种族主义和极端主义的513事件威胁言论后,廖中莱和马袖强已采取无原则的立场来支持慕尤丁。

不管马华总会长廖中莱和民政党主席拿督马袖强用再多懦弱和欺骗的漂白,也无法掩盖民政党和马华支持副首相制造种族主义、偏执和极端主义的威胁,将513事件矛头指向非马来人和非穆斯林。他们尝试漂白慕尤丁指若马来人和穆斯林继续被侮辱将可能出现另一个513事件的威胁,粉饰成只是一个“提醒”,不要把国家的和平视为理所当然。

慕尤丁只怪罪非马来人和非穆斯林,他的威胁怎么可能只是提醒?他将未来若出现513暴动分别罪归于非穆斯林和非马来人所造成,针对非穆斯林和非马来人的暴力行动,慕尤丁已经首先视为失去人性的做法。

明显的,丹斯里慕尤丁在编造谎言,他无法出示证据证明非马来人和非穆斯林的组织侮辱马来人和穆斯林,反而在亲巫统组织伤害或威胁民主行动党领袖的性命,攻击和恫言要烧掉行动党吉隆坡总部,都没有采取行动队服这些暴徒。

他们惧怕副首相甚于真理与公义,廖中莱和马袖强没有原则的立场,支持丹斯里慕尤丁针对非巫裔和非穆斯林种族论和极端主义的威胁。他们当部长的职位价值,远比国家的正义、自由和民主重要,在国阵执政下,国人没有希望,也没有美好的未来。

廖中莱没有说明他本身立场的勇气,是否赞成丹斯里慕尤丁的言论,反而企图转移视线,说明国家必须团结起来,共同对抗极端和激进分子。当面对副首相就是极端分子,马华总会长是否有勇气对抗?

马华和民政党一如以往,不仅继续由巫统支配,也害怕失去部长之职的额外津贴和特权。那些对马华和民政党还抱有期待的人,是时候勇敢站起来面对政治谎言、巫统的威胁和恐惧,是时候苏醒放弃国阵。套前马华总会长丹斯里蔡细历所说的,廖中莱根本没有胆量,他是马华有史以来最糟糕的总会长。

马华连派候选人竞选武吉牛汝莪国会议席补选都不敢,对于不敢为民对抗巫统的政党,试问巫统怎么可能尊总马华,马华和民政党是没主见和听命于巫统的另一个傀儡。
