Continue to support a political party which never feels any remorse
(Malaysian Chinese News) – It is rare to find Chap Goh Mei festival to fall on a weekend. I was lucky to be able to bring my family back to my hometown to let the children experience the birthday celebration of the Monkey King God at a temple. This temple was located beside my house and at the back of my house was a raised stage for performance in conjunction with the festival. My third brother and my eldest sister threw a steamboat feast for their relatives. We were enjoying our feast while watching the performance on stage. While we were enjoying our feast came a DAP supporter and a young lady.
Initially we thought it was the arrival of our relatives but after observing her shaking hands with my second aunt and others enthusiastically, I managed to identify her. She is the present state assemblyman Leong Yu Man of our constituency. I avoided her to refrain myself from bad mouthing her during the festive season.
Actually it is the norm for a lawmaker to visit their voters. After the incident of DAP cheating and confusing old voters and now making new tricks to trap voters again, I thought of using harsh and angry words on the young female DAP lawmaker but later I changed my mind. This is to avoid breaking any CNY taboo as it was still during the CNY season.
In the mindset of this group of people, there is only “Forever Rocket man”; they must obey and support all actions of the central leaders. To them DAP is like a religion or a belief. Anyone who disagrees to the objectives of DAP (very often it is mixed up with the personal agenda of its top leader) is regarded as an apostate and to those who join other political beliefs are considered as extremists.
Realized DAP’s trick long ago
Never in my expectations Sim Tong Him and his group, who already have clashes with the DAP central, left their beloved party after Chap Goh Mei. It shows that they heard the inner call of the Chinese community.
This group of Chinese people has no interest in politics. They supported DAP because they have total trust in that party. Anything which has a common taste will be fine for them.
Now they saw the DAP leader and their staunch enemy Mahathir hugging each other (He was made to be hated by DAP propaganda for a long time). Now both are championing to help Malaysia. Isn’t it ridiculous? The earlier effort in chastising and discrediting Mahathir is thoroughly meaningless.
Outsiders like me had already seen through DAP’s big trick much earlier. If they can befriend with Mahathir today with the excuse of “saving Malaysia”, next time it is not a surprise they declare to cooperate with Najib.
Sim and his group quitting the party and apologizing to the public are unnecessary. It is beyond their control as they belonged to DAP.
Nobody knows their “big plans”. Are they going to continue as lifelong DAP loyalists? Since there is a precedent now, we cannot eliminate the possibility.
Putting hope on those who had been tricked
In society many people were bitten by snakes, but they don’t have the phobia. The common proverb once bitten (By a snake) twice shy does not apply in our local society anymore because they behave differently now.
DAP hopes that these victims will love the party forever and will not break away or swing their support elsewhere no matter what happens.
I think the Chinese should support fully without questioning and make that party the only ideal political party which does not have any remorse at all. Then the Malaysian Chinese can claim they are one and only one kind in the world to act in that manner.
In fact we owe the Lim father and son team a lot for their contributions. They are worth our sympathy. Our Chinese political lifeline is closely linked to them. Any problem arises in DAP is not caused by the party itself but due to UMNO’s effort in destroying them. Among us we know Pakatan Harapan (PH) is an acronym for “Pergi Holland” (Going to meet disaster).
