I read with amusement your report on the possibility of the [#1]poll[/#] on MCA leadership being abused ([#2]M'kini poll on MCA abused by 'interested parties'[/#], Feb 22). Now I wonder if this is a conspiracy by:

1) Parties that wanted to make Ong Ka Ting and Dr Ling Liong Sik look bad by making such a transparent attempt at manipulation, thus making people suspect Ong and/or Ling to be behind this.

2) Parties that want to make Lim Ah Lek look bad because some people might think Lim might be behind this attempt to make Ong and Ling to look bad.

3) Parties that want to make everyone look bad including malaysiakini for allowing a person to vote more than once.

Then again, maybe Ong and Ling are that popular. What do I know?
