Debat Chua Soi Lek vs Lim Guan Eng pusingan kedua

Saya pernah melaporkan mengenai keputusan sokongan masyarakat Cina yang memihak kepada  MCA seusai  debat Chua Soi Lek vs Lim Guan Eng di SINI

Kini debat CSL vs LGE pusingan kedua telah berlangsung. Transkrip debat adalah dalam Bahasa Inggeris dan dibekalkan oleh rakan fb saya Margaret Justice Chan di SINI

Dari pengamatan saya keputusan  tetap memihak kepada Chua Soi Lek. Beliau memberikan jawapan yang mempunyai lebih substance, disulami fakta serta bukti dalam bentuk prestasi MCA membina fabrik masyarakat majmuk yang rumit selama lebih 50 tahun sejak merdeka.  DAP  pula didapati  lebih banyak memusnahkan hubungan harmoni antara kaum di Malaysia dan ini terbukti dari polisi di negeri yang dikuasai mereka yang jelas membelakangkan Dasar Ekonomi Baru dan Dasar Pembangunan Negara. Perlu diingat bahawa asas pentng ekonomi adalah faktor fundamental  dan inilah yang ditekankan Chua Soi Lek

The second debate between MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has started at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre in Subang Jaya.
Dr Chua being greeted by a well-wisher upon his arrival at the hall.

The debate started with Lim's opening remarks.

Lim: "MCA is not qualified to talk about politics here, as it is not MCA who decides - it is Umno who decides.

"The MCA speaks only for the Chinese, and those from the Peninsula - not Sabah or Sarawak.

"It is different for DAP - we want to speak for all Malaysians. Malay, Chinese, Indians, Iban, Kadazan.

"We are all Malaysians. Look at the NFC scandal," he said.

"Who gains? The cronies. The losers are the citizens of Malaysia.

"For last 50 years, consumed by race and religion. For the next 50 years, let us be consumed with the tasks of economic wellbeing.

"BN has never spoken truthfully to the people. Let Pakatan Rakyat speak truthfully to you.

"DAP believes a clean government can always perform better than a corrupt government.

"If Penang dares to review the assets of the CM, why is the PM afraid of reviewing his assets and those of his ministers?" he said.

Dr Chua: "Just now YAB asked why the PM didn't want to debate with Anwar. I want to say here, it hasn't happened because he is the prime minister. He is busy with the transformation policies, to improve the country. "From 2008 to 2011, the ease of doing business improved compared from 2003 to 2008. Malaysia is the fifth most favoured FDI nation in Asia.
"They haven't been empty promises like those from Pakatan Rakyat. The promises were fulfilled. These three years, the rakyat has gotten what was promised under the leadership of Najib."
"Anwar is full of rhetoric, no specifics, short on delivery. He has to convince us to translate this rhetoric into what we call delivery.

"MCA has been involved in nation building from day one. We were the one involved in the fight against the communist insurgency, the resettlement of the Chinese in new villages, the fight for independence, the rights of citizenship after independence. That's why citizens like Guan Eng are citizens of the country.

"We laid down the foundations. We have progressed, advocated integration not assimilation. That's why Guan Eng is not called Sukarno Lim.
"This is all history. All part of nation building. DAP has no role to play."

"What has PR done for us? No clear direction.

"Look at the four PR states, 95% of the promises are janji janji kosong.

"Everyday tell the whole world you give hundred dollars to the old people.

"Two hundred to the newborn and they must be voters. We give RM200 to our newborn babies.

"State government giving RM100, RM200 all populist policies. Does not address fundamental problem of country."

"DAP has only one thing to show. They collect a lot of money from the rakyat. Despite calls of accountability, transparency - nothing to show. Transparency, Accountability, where are they? Where has the money collected gone to?

Question: Mr President... Many urban voters perceive MCA has not done enough. The perception is that many urban voters are not supporting MCA. What would you do to try regain more support for MCA?

Dr Chua: We accept the fact this is a multiracial country and the policy of BN is the policy of balancing. DAP likes to tell the Chinese they are marginalised. The poverty rate of the Chinese is still lowest among three major races. Employment rates the highest. Property ownership largest. Cannot deny in the implementaion process there are people who benefit more than others, this is the bone of contention, causes a lot of Chinese to be angry with the government and MCA bears the burden of this.

"DAP tries to portray itself as a multiracial party, but only dares to contest in Chinese constituencies.

"Why don't you contest in multiracial constituencies? We are a mono-ethnic party, but our aims are clear.

"In this country we have to balance the needs and sensitivities of all countries. No particular race will feel happy.
"In the same way we sometimes feel government giving too much to bumiputra. But some bumiputras not happy with government."

Question: Many people still see DAP as Chinese-based party. Are you a Chinese party or multi-racial party, how would you try to win more support among other races if you are multiracial.

Lim: From the very start we are a multiracial party. Our chairman is Indian, we have Indian MPs, have Malay MPs and state assemblymen in the past. We are fair to all regardless of race and religion. Would like the MCA president know that not every Chinese rich as the MCA leaders.

Not every Chinese can apply for PR in Australia.

Don't forget that the Chinese community pays the most taxes in Malaysia.

At the same time we want to see justice and see our Malay brothers and sisters are assisted.

Why is it poor Chinese can't get scholarships but rich bumiputras can?

Don't go and talk about DAP forming a kindergarten. We are a political party to determine the future of Malaysia.

TAR College is clearest example of failure of MCA. Why was it established? Because of unfair quota policies where qualified students cannot enter public universities. so you formed TAR College. Shame on you MCA.

Don't say we haven't built low cost housing. We have built. Don't lie.

Question:Is MCA scared of Umno, that they don't dare to question corruption claims? Is there equal partnership in BN?

Dr Chua: I take objection to that question to say MCA is sacared of Umno. Not a fair question. If I say - and I've always said - if the state Cabinet, state exco and federal Cabinet, all the discussions are taped. The government should declassify the tapes and then they understand better the role of MCA in a multiracial country.

Why is DAP so quiet about Anwar's alleged account of RM3bil, this from a statutory declaration?

This is equal partnership, let me tell you PR claims equal partnership but until today PAS have never openly endorsed Anwar as prime minister.

You can't even agree on a party common symbol and logo and register the party.

Question: I've read your Buku Jingga, stated among other things that if party win GE, forms central government they are going to abolish all road tolls, PTPTN and give income to houses that make less than RM4,000 to make up that amount. Lots of other goodies. How are you going to implement these policies bearing in mind annual revenue does not exceed RM200bil.
Lim: This the first time I'm hearing from a minister admitting corruption cost us RM26bil. Question is, what you doing about it? Are you accepting the fact that BN permits corruption? That's why I say shame on you again.

Don't talk about collections from public. When DAP organises dinners, we don't give free dinners like MCA or Umno. We charge because we rely on public funds to survive. We don't steal the government's money. That is the difference between BN and PR, the difference between MCA and DAP.

I think you need to read the right Buku Jingga, I think you read the wrong one. Abolish tolls, estimate of RM35mil. If you don't believe can be done, vote us into power and we show you can be done.

Question: On Chinese independent schools.

Dr Chua: I only wish DAP is more specific. Why is it not written more clearly they will build more Chinese schools? Independent schools? Recognise UEC?
I openly asked Anwar, are you going to build more Chinese schools? More independent schools?

Because if it is from DAP, I dont trust it. Why? Cos DAP will say this is not common policy framework.

Lim:We are not like MCA leaders who go to jail for cheating rakyat of its money.

When you talk about building of schools, judge by the deeds of the PR government in Selangor and Penang. We have given land, we have given funding, we have given funding every year. If PR can give to all these schools, independent, Indian, Chinese, every year funding, why BN cannot do so?

Don't question our openess to allow independent Chinese schools.

When you talk about Anwar if PR wins power he will be Prime Minister.

Question: What national education policy should there be to generate competent citizens?

Lim:We cannot ignore the fact that human talent will be the future of our country.

Not a question of building human talent but retaining human talent.

Since Merdeka two million Malaysians left the country because they see no future for themselves or Malaysia.

They see they don't have freedom, integrity or justice. That's why we are fighting for freedom, democracy, integrity, justice. To fight corruption is not hard, only depends on whether you got political will. No laws (to combat corruption) in Penang but we have wiped out corruption in Penang, I am proud to say.

If we win power in Malaysia, we will do the same in Malaysia. That is why so many people are afraid.

Dr Chua: When people are educated or talented, they have economic independence and social mobility. Almost all developing countries face brain drain.

This no justification. That's why when I say we trained 200,000 talented people, the Penang Chief Cminister says shame on us.

Look at our meritocracy policy, number of non-Malays in tertiary gone up. Last year, JPA gave more scholarships to all races, 20% to needy, disadvantaged in Sabah and Sarawak.

Talent Corp is another good example of reaching out. When we train talent they say shame on you. If you can't do it, admit you can't. No country in the world can meet needs of education for all citizens.

Chinese are not happy with DAP

Recently I came across one of my Facebook friends status which I believe should be shared here. She opined that the Chinese support towards  Pakatan Rakyat- especially DAP is dwindling.

I'm not sure if this is true but as a Chinese, I believe she has her own sources given her inputs regarding this information. Anyway let the coming GE verify this. Pray really really hard to get rid of DAP from Penang. Lim's dynasty is fast becoming irrelevant. Though I'm staying in Subang Jaya , but as a true Penangite , I don't want an outsider to rule our state and simply demolish what has been 'preserved' all this while.

Below is the comment from my Facebook friend by her ID 'Margaret Justice' on the latest Chinese support towards DAP.

"I begin to notice some Chinese are not that happy with DAP’s method in dealing with non Chinese especially the Malays and -by extension - UMNO.

There are various reasons for that. The community self examine their commitment to DAP after the debate  between Dr Chua and The Man who likes to think that the Chinese world centers around him; none other than Guan Eng.

It is very easy to speak for 2 hours in Ceramah condemning UMNO and trying to draw similarity between Najib and Hitler. But in the debate, there and then you are challenged. And everybody knows who between the 2 have substance and who is “tin kosong”(Lim Guan Eng)

Besides, the Chinese have notice that the Malays are putting their faith and support to back UMNO in substantial scale. Meaning UMNO’s position as the dominant party in Malay community is reemphasized. The  Chinese, long seen as  cunning lot by the  Malays, (no offense please ) are strategic lot;  thus alliance with the loser (DAP) will not benefit them.

Yes. They (the Chinese community)  gave their mandate and voted for DAP - for a trial- in 2008 . But they are also realising very fast that without MCA, they are without any political representation in the Federal Government. Dr Chua of MCA  is very smart in reminding the  Chinese that he will not accept any Cabinet post ( this stand has also being voiced out  by other MCA leaders) should MCA show dismal  performance in the   coming election. Hence this coming General Election,  many Chinese are expected to give their mandate to MCA just like the Malays are going back  to their roots and throw their support behind UMNO...

Besides, after giving PR a chance to rule several states, people  realised  that PR-led state governments are not as good as they claimed to be -  in fact they are even more corrupted than BN - which is evident by the Selangor Sand issue, the THB inquiry findings, the Mr.30% of the Kedah issue ...and the last crunch - the Bayan Mutiara Land issue  in Penang.

The Chinese must show DAP that its “forte’ which is waging war against the Malays just to secure and perpetuate Lim Dynasty will not be tolerated.

To my Chinese friend, there is no need to sacrifice the interest of

the  entire community just to help a few politicians who are still trapped in Jurassic age . Thus  voting DAP is not a good choice and will affect your own benefit while enriching some of those voted into power ....Just as the Malays must be strong enough

to reject politicians from PAS who monopolised (and misled the Muslims) on  Islamic -related issues , Chinese must never select politicians who are bankrupt of ideas and is only known for triggering racial sentiment. .....such is the stereotype Lim Guan Eng is made of.

Lim Guan Eng has committed the cardinal sin in Penang's  Bayan Mutiara issue. Instead of addressing genuine concern on Bayan Mutiara's mosque site which was earlier demarcated and reserved by Penang Development Corporation back in 2007, which is a main  concern to every Muslims in this country, Lim Guan Eng started accusing those who raised the issue as racist. Wake up now and don't be conned and doomed  this coming election..

Chua Soi Lek advises SUPP

Chua the MCA president is sharp. Yes, it is better for SUPP to stay out of the new Sarawak's State Government. However he made one big error. The Chinese representatives in Sarawak's Cabinet line up prior to the State's 10th election not only represented the Chinese community voice, they control almost all-  politics, social and economy of the state.


Will staying out of the State government  solve the problem? Or is there a hidden agenda among the community?

Excerp from  soi-lek-advises-supp-stay-out-of-state-cabinet-but-remain-in-bn

KUALA LUMPUR - SUPP should not accept any position in the Sarawak state Cabinet as the party has lost the Chinese community's support, the MCA said.



"If it takes part in the Cabinet, I feel the Chinese of Sarawak would think they (SUPP) are there only for the seats and not to serve the community," said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

"Besides, SUPP's role in the Cabinet would be limited to only helping resolve problems within the Chinese community," he told a press conference after opening the Selangor MCA Youth forum at Seri Kembangan, near here, Sunday.


However, added Dr Chua, SUPP must continue to be in Barisan Nasional as the coalition still has the people's support and their (SUPP) candidates were elected on the Barisan ticket.


He said the Opposition would continue to prick SUPP and give a perpetually negative perception of the party if it held any position in the Cabinet.


"As such, it is better for SUPP to stay out," Dr Chua said.

He congratulated the Barisan Nasional leadership under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for retaining the Sarawak state government with a two-thirds majority but added it was unfortunate that Chinese voters in urban areas did not support SUPP.


In the just-concluded polls, the DAP stamped its mark by taking most of the Chinese-majority urban seats that were once SUPP strongholds.

The SUPP managed to only take six of the 19 seats it contested and among the seats won, four were retained by Dayak candidates in Dayak-majority areas.


Asked if this would have any effect on Barisan in the next general election, Dr Chua said the Sarawak polls results were not likely to affect Chinese support for Barisan.
