So they are now embarking on an asset-stripping exercise. Chua Soi Lek, Tan Chai Ho, Vincent Lee Fook Long, Kat Swee Sang, and a few other MCA taikos are shifting MCA’s assets so that they can eventually bury an empty shell that was once the second-most powerful and richest political party in Malaysia. They will then ride out into the sunset and all live happily ever after while the Malaysian Chinese continue to argue about who should hold power and who should be represented in the government.

Can you see that long before the 2008/2013 Tsunami, the Malays and Chinese of Kuala Terengganu already set aside their racial/political differences and supported the candidate rather than the race or party? The Chinese supported and worked/campaigned for an Islamist from PAS while the Malays supported and worked/campaigned for a ‘kafir’ from MCA. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin

You can see the Malay swing in 1946. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1959. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1969. Then they swung back and took another swing in 1990. Then there was another swing in 1999 after swinging back in 1995 (and then swung back in 2004). In 2008, we saw another swing and a slight swing back this time around in 2013. Will the Malay ‘pattern’ prove true and will we see yet a bigger and maybe a ‘terminal swing’ (for Barisan Nasional, that is) in the 2018 general election? NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin

At first Chua sneered at Lim Keat Siang’s announcement to contest in Gelang Patah and said that Lim was ‘dreaming’. It would later turn out that Lim’s ‘dream’ had come true. We all witnessed how energetic and enthusiastic Lim could be even he is already in his seventies. He fought with such zeal over the past month, he travelled north and south for thousands of miles and he kept his morale high to the last minute. It was not by luck that DAP emerged a winner, for Lim had been giving out ceramah not only in his constituency but all over Malaysia. By Xing Yue Zhen邢月珍 @ nanyang.com

So, yes, we too in the UK were not happy with the system. And we ‘sold out’ the ruling party and ‘toppled’ the government because we were not happy with the system. But no one told us if we are not happy with the system then we can get out of Britain and go live in another country. If they had done that they would have been crucified. They would have been hung upside down from the nearest tree. We would have nailed their balls (or tits) to the wall. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin

Now, what I do not understand is: why emphasise ‘on a Chinese woman’? The Chinese scream that they are not racists. Yet they send me this very racist e-mail. This woman was humiliated or treated badly. That is wrong. Period! But to play up this issue as a racial issue is more wrong. And this is what Malaysians like to do. They like to emphasise that so-and-so who is Chinese or Indian is a victim of such-and-such. NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin
