your say'So there is no need for apology from anyone. MCA will always be loyal to Umno. Nazri can carry on belittling them, because he knows.'

Yen Yen: We did not ask Nazri to apologise

Md Imraz Ikhbal: "For MCA, the most important persons whose opinions matter to us are Prime Minister Najib Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. So we are not going to be bothered over Nazri's comment."

So let me get this straight. Given this pathetic verbatim statement above by MCA vice-president Ng Yen Yen, can Umno now legitimately construe that save for the PM and DPM, they now have an open license to insult at will MCA in whatsoever verbal form, including labelling them as Umno's concubine and this would perfectly be fine by MCA so long they are not uttered by Najib or Muhyiddin?

Wow, what a tolerant and truly understanding member of Umno's coalition indeed. So let me ask you this, my Chinese brethren - still want to support MCA, the most ‘dignified' Chinese party around? Or do you pride yourselves with far greater dignity than that?

Keturunan Malaysia: Yen Yen, you must be daft or pretend to be one if you say only PM's and/or DPM's comments are what count. Both these two are smarter than you and MCA (it seems) as what they wish to say the same, but cannot because it may hurt fools like you/MCA, so they get people like Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz to say it.

A Voter: The lesson MCA must learn from this episode is this: stand up against these Umno bullies and you will gain the respect of all Malaysians, whatever ethnic group they are from. Stoop like a mouse and MCA will continue to be hated by all Malaysians.

Soapbox_40a0: It's quite simple. Umno has decided that they need to convince the Malays that they are a truly Malay party, thus hoping to regain the confidence of the Malays who have moved over to PKR and PAS.

Moreover, they see MCA as a liability as it no longer commands the respect of the Chinese. In short, like the many bumiputeras who are afraid to lose their crutches, MCA, too, has gotten used to the crutches, so there is no need for apology from anyone.

They will always be loyal to Umno. Nazri can carry on belittling them because he knows.

Onyourtoes: Nazri will apologise 100 times if his constituency is changed from Padang Rengas to Taiping.

Nazri, you are just good at blaming others. You have no idea it was because of moronic MCA and other hapless non-Malay parties that have sustained Umno's power all these years. You drink water but you do not know where the source is.

Fido Dido Ng Yen Yen, please tell the Chinese where is the line drawn for remarks by Umno that are considered acceptable for the Chinese. Even if it is okay for Umno to voice their opinion, why is MCA not saying anything about the Malays? Would Umno keep quiet if MCA said the same about Malays?

Rick Teo: Of course, it really doesn't matter what they say about MCA or the Chinese. You got a cushy job as a minister and you don't want to jeopardise your position by attacking Umno and their honchos.

That's what MCA has been doing for the last 53 years and that is why Umno doesn't give a hoot what MCA does. People like you are only concerned with what Umno can give to you - position and power.

Lover Boy: Yen Yen, so you will ignore Nazri and there is nothing for him to apologise. By that, what message do you intend to convey?

Let me tell you, going by what you say, it means your colleague in the cabinet can spit on you and you will ignore it, like a wife who is abused, sexually assaulted and yet refuses to divorced.

You are nothing but a disgrace to the Chinese community.

Mahinder Singh: Madam, as if Umno cares two hoots for MCA. MCA is no longer a force to reckon with. Two of your past leaders have been charged for corruption.


Tian Chua to Soi Lek: Look who's talking

Abil: We were under the impression that Chua Soi Lek would be sympathetic to Anwar Ibrahim since he was a victim of invasion of privacy and depravity, but it looks like he, for political expediency, lost his sense of fair play and decency.

Soi Lek, what kind of leadership quality do you possess and are you imparting to the next generation?

Ttloo: Is Soi Lek speaking on behalf of all MCA delegates who voted him in as president of the party? Soi Lek is not in a position to comment as his reputation had been badly tarnished. There is no way the people can respect you while you cling to your post running errands on behalf of your Umno master.

The Penquin: Chua Soi Lek thought that he can talk 'big' just because he admitted to the fact that he was the man in the sex video. He seems to be very proud of what he did and somehow got away with it.

Since it is a fact that he committed adultery, he should not be heading the MCA. I am really amazed how he got elected to be a leader.

Voice: There is no such thing as historic low or all times low in MCA leaders. Every time they open up their mouth, their dignity will go down further.

Hamisu: Ever wonder how our justice systems gets so screwed up that even our own politicians get confused?

If I am accused of committing an alleged crime, wouldn't it be for the accuser to prove it beyond doubt? Why should the accused need to prove anything?

Changeagent: When Rahim Thamby Chik and Chua Soi Lek, both tarnished culprits of serious sexual misdemeanours themselves, think they have the moral authority to verbally attack Anwar Ibrahim, it demonstrates a profound lack of judgement on their part and shows how seriously misguided they are.

It also confirms of BN's unwavering commitment and steely resolve to halt Anwar's political career, come hell or high water.
