I refer to two letters entitled ‘A case of blind loyalty for present MCA leaders’ by Sebastian Loon  and ‘Tee Keat did not sack Chua’ by Jackson Ng . These two letters were directed at my letter ‘Ong Tee Keat's flagging fortune is his own doing’.

I would like to point out that my essay was more focussed on why Tee Keat should not grumble over his own fate. In my letter there were no praises for the present leadership of MCA, neither was there anything that indicated my loyalty to MCA leaders.

For all you know I am just a political observer who pays a lot of attention to MCA politics, and I could not tolerate the way Ong Tee Keat conducts his own politics regardless of what other people feel.

For the benefit of both writers, they have got it wrong altogether. I am only concerned with the supremacy of democracy at work; whoever won that crucial party re-election on March 28, 2010, should be allowed to lead the party without any extra problems thrown in by any ex-leaders.

It applies generally to all parties, not MCA alone. Remember, Tee Keat was once MCA president and cabinet minister; this is the pinnacle of Chinese politics in Malaysia. He has been awarded the chance to stay at the helm but he spoiled it himself; who else does he wants to blame?
 
Similarly, it is just like saying that Mahathir Mohamad should not keep barking at PM Najib Razak’s administration. It is this simple. It would seem to me that the two writers are by nature strongly anti-MCA.

Actually, no matter who becomes MCA president they would not support the party and Barisan Nasional. Even if Tee Keat is still the president, they would find some other excuses not to support MCA and BN. In this particular case, my letter just happens to provide an opportunity for them to undermine the party and BN.

My intention is not praise anyone, or trying to please the present leaders of  MCA. I just wanted to comment on Ong Tee Keat's behaviour of late.
