Press Statement by DAP Secretary-General and MP for Bagan Lim Guan Eng in Kuala Lumpur on 27 June 2014. <\/p>\n
The new appointments of 1 Gerakan Cabinet Ministers, 2 MCA Cabinet Ministers and 3 MCA Deputy Minister is a clear victory for personal interest over public interest, political positions over principle and UMNO\u2019s dominance of BN over everything else. By being appointed to \u201cempty and meaningless\u201d Ministries of the Prime Minister Cabinet portfolios(except for the Transport Ministry), both MCA and Gerakan have shown they enjoy even less influence over BN government policy than Perkasa. <\/p>\n
Despite MIC having fewer parliamentary seats of four to MCA\u2019s 7, the 2 MIC Ministers were given more influential Ministries in important portfolios like Natural Resources and Environment and Health helmed by Datuk G. Palanievel and Datuk S Subramaniam. Public expectations were that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will at least replace some UMNO Cabinet Ministers to return traditional MCA portfolios to MCA. However this did not happen and instead of reducing UMNO Cabinet members, Najib chose to increase his Cabinet to 35 members. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For a country with a population of 28 million, this bloated Cabinet consists of 35 full ministers and 27 deputy ministers. This compares to 3 large countries with bigger populations but all having only 23 Cabinet Ministers, such as United Kingdom with 63 million people, the United States with 313 million people and even India with 1.1 billion people. On what basis and logic can Malaysia with a smaller population than UK, USA and even India has 50% more Cabinet members of 35 compared to their 23. <\/p>\n
MCA can not claim that they were given fewer Cabinet posts because they won fewer seats in the 2013 general elections, because when MCA won big in the previous general elections and even saved UMNO\/BN from defeat in the 1999 general elections, their Ministerial posts did not increase but remained at four. Clearly MCA is treated no different from \u201cpolitical beggars\u201d and given \u201cpolitical crumbs\u201d by not being rewarded when MCA won big and not given any respect when MCA lost.<\/p>\n
Most unfortunate is that their Ministerial appointments were not accompanied by any new policy initiatives such as combating corruption through making public declaration of assets of Ministers or ending negotiated tenders in preference for open competitive tenders, institutionalized annual funding for Chinese and Tamil schools as well as focusing police resources to fighting crime so that people are not only safe but feel safe. <\/p>\n
Gerakan President Mah Siew Keong did not even get Home Affairs Minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to withdraw and apologise for scolding the Chinese as ungrateful and neither did he get a genuine university for Teluk Intan that offered a full range of courses instead of only a teaching university. Both MCA and Gerakan failed to get UMNO to renounce their support of implementing hudud, stop unilateral conversion to Islam by any one parent or even act against racists and extremists that bully and threaten non-Muslims or non-Malays. <\/p>\n
By failing to affirm that Malaysia has a Federal Constitution that is secular, MCA and Gerakan\u2019s re-entry into Cabinet will not make any difference but will result in further political sandiwara of \u201copposing loudly outside\u201d but \u201ckeeping quiet inside\u201d. Clearly both MCA and Gerakan have not learnt the lessons of their electoral defeat in the 2013 general elections and looks set to revert to the \u201csame-old, same-old\u201d ways of obedient submission to UMNO\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n

Kenyataan media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 27 Jun 2014.<\/p>\n
Kabinet membusung dengan 35 orang anggota dan perjawatan menteri baru, tetapi tiada iniasiatif dasar baru.<\/p>\n
Pelantikan seorang menteri Kabinet Gerakan, dua menteri Kabinet MCA dan tiga Timbalan Menteri MCA terang-terang merupakan kejayaan peribadi yang menewaskan kepentingan umum, serta tewasnya prinsip terhadap jawatan politik selain kekuasaan Umno ke atas BN. Dengan dilantik ke portfolio jawatan yang kosong dan tidak bermakna sebagai Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (kecuali yang dilantik ke Kementerian Pengangkutan), kedua-dua MCA dan Gerakan menunjukkan bahawa mereka menikmati pengaruh yang lebih kecil terhadap dasar BN berbanding Perkasa.<\/p>\n
Walaupun MIC mempunyai kurang kerusi parlimen tujuh kerusi MCA, dua menteri MIC diberikan kementerian yang lebih berpengaruh dan portfolio yang lebih penting seperti Sumber Asli dan Alam sekitar serta Kesihatan yang masing-masing dijawat oleh Datuk G. Palanivel dan Datuk S Subramaniam. Orang ramai berharap supaya Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak akan sekurang-kurangnya menggantikan beberapa menteri kabinet Umno untuk mengembalikan portfolio tradisional MCA kepada MCA. Bagaimana pun, ini tidak berlaku malah berbanding mengurangkan anggota kabinet Umno, Najib memilih untuk menambah anggota kabinetnya menjadi 35 orang.<\/p>\n
Bagi sebuah negara dengan populasi 28 juta, kabinet yang begitu membusung ini dianggotai 35 menteri penuh dan 27 timbalan menteri. Ini boleh dibandingkan dengan tiga negara lain yang mempunyai populasi lebih besar tetapi hanya mempunyai 23 menteri kabinet, seperti United Kingdom yang mempunyai 63 juta rakyat, Amerika Syarikat 313 juta rakyat malahan India yang mempunyai 1.1 bilion penduduk. Atas dasar dan logik apa Malaysia yang mempunyai bilangan penduduk lebih sedikit berbanding UK, USA dan malah India mempunyai 50% lebih anggota kabinet seramai 35 orang berbanding 23.<\/p>\n
MCA tidak boleh mendakwa bahawa mereka diberi jumlah jawatan kabinet yang lebih sedikit kerana mereka menang jumlah kerusi yang sedikit pada pilihanraya umum 2013, kerana MCA menang besar dalam pilihanraya umum yang lalu malah telah menyelamatkan Umno\/BN daripada kekalahan pada pilihanraya 1999; pun begitu bilangan jawatan menteri mereka tidak bertambah malah kekal sebanyak empat jawatan. Jelas sekali MCA dilayan tidak lebih daripada pengemis politik dan memperolehi apa yang tersisa apabila tidak diberikan anugerah apabila MCA menang besar serta tidak pula dihormati apabila ia tewas.<\/p>\n
Lebih malang lagi apabila pelantikan kementerian mereka tidak disertai oleh sebarang inisiatif dasar baru seperti melawan rasuah dengan melakukan pengisytiharan harta secara umum para menteri atau pun mengakhiri tender yang dirunding dan memberi laluan kepada tender terbuka, penginstitusian dana tahunan untuk sekolah Cina dan Tamil selain menumpukan sumber kepolisan untuk membanteras jenayah supaya rakyat bukan sahaja selamat tetapi yakin mereka selamat.<\/p>\n
Presiden Gerakan Mah Siew Keong pun tidak berjaya membuat Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi menarik balik kenyataannya dan meminta maaf kepada masyarakat Cina yang disifatkannya sebagai tidak berterima kasih dan tidak pula beliau berhasil mendapatkan universiti yang tulen untuk Teluk Intan yang menawarkan pelbagai kursus. Kedua-dua MCA dan Gerakan telah gagal membuat Umno menghentikan sokongan kepada pelaksanaan hudud, mahupun menghentikan penukaran agama Islam secara satu pihak oleh salah seorang ibu bapa ataupun bertindak terhadap mereka yang rasis dan ekstremis yang membuli dan mengugut mereka yang bukan Islam atau bukan Melayu.<\/p>\n
Dengan kegagalan untuk menegaskan bahawa Malaysia mempunyai Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang sekular, kemasukan semula MCA dan Gerakan ke dalam kabinet tidak akan membuat sebarang perubahan tetapi hanya akan menghasilkan sandiwara politik yang hingar membantah di luar tetapi menikus diam di dalam. Jelas sekali kedua-dua MCA dan Gerakan tidak mengambil pelajaran daripada kekalahan mereka dalam pilihanraya 2013 dan nampaknya tetap akan kembali kepada cara lama, dengan tunduk patuh kepada kekuasaan Umno.<\/p>\n
