NST Live Chat

I have just attended the New Straits Times Live chat with online readers. Below are some excerpts of the session of which I have summarized.

Q: A very good morning to you. Never expected you to go on NSTLive so early. I have been following the internal leadership tussle. Very sad that Ong and you cannot compromise for the party sake. Is there no way all the differences can be put aside?

A: The differences can be put aside if the president had shown more self confidence and not easily influenced by his small group of advisors. But, today this is all history. The EGM called by the Central delegates will be on.

Q: Hi. I really hope your president gets booted out. He is not fit to be a president especially with his agenda from the very onset of him being appointed is to get you out. He is not concentrating on the party and its upliftment. What is your opinion?

A: I fully agree with you that he has not done much in the one year in leading the party and there is no direction and no road map to prepare MCA to face the next general election. The morale of members are low.

Q: Good morning Datuk Seri Dr Chua. The way things are going, I seriously wonder if people will support MCA if it fields candidates for the general election. I feel it might see the same fate as MIC in the last general election.

A: No faith. I fully agree with you that this internal conflict within the party is causing a lot of harm to the party. We hope the EGM would settle the internal conflict so that we can move on to strengthen the party and to restore our credibility and image.

Q: Its not only MCA but all Barisan Nasional political parties must put their house in order as we Malaysians see a lot of unstability within. Your comment.

A: There are problems within component parties of BN. Anyway, Pakatan Rakyat has also its fair share of problems. Important thing is how do we resolve this internal conflict as soon as possible so that we can then move on.

Q: How are you taking all this issues. Having sleepless nights or taking them at your usual confident stride?

A: A fan. I don't have sleepless nights. I tried to sleep by 12.30am, wake up at 6,30am and exercise until 8am before I leave to do work by 8.30am.

Q: Hi. Just got up from my beauty sleep to chat with you. Do you think its too late for a mediator to resolve the problem between Ong and you?

A: I think it has come to a stage where a mediator is too late. The EGM resolution has been agreed upon by both the party and let the central delegates decide. Leaders have to abide by the delegates in the EGM.

Q: Good morning Dr Chua. We pray you win. I think you deserve it especially with the delegates having elected you as the deputy president. Ong should respect that and work with you instead of trying to oust you from the party. So unfair. We feel he should buck up and face reality. your view

A: Patrick S. While I am inclined to agree with you, However, much water has flowed under the bridge. And today we are confronted with an EGM to resolve the conflict.

Q: Datuk Seri, MCA and MIC have always been talking about transparency and one party. But as soon as a Malay speaks up, he is shot down, with presidents of both parties claiming it is none of their business as it only involves the parties. Now, I am a Malay and I know that in every war, there are casualties. This is not good for my country and I am affected. Do not sideline positive comments and even negative ones can be good

A: Some leaders are more sensitive than others. I always believe that people are entitled to their opinion and we should not be too sensitive about comment made by any leaders.

Q: Why can't leaders just walk away when they are not needed. If your boss tells you, hey, you are not wanted, why can't they just accept it. But no, no one wants to leave, thinking they are indispensible. No one is, my good Doctor and that include you. And before you think I am OTK's man, you are wrong. I am a partyless Malay chap with only basic neccessities on my mind. Food for the kids and decent clothings. For the good of the country, walk away and later make a comeback.

A: My dear friend, I was sacked by the party. I have spend 30 years in the party and 24 years as the head of the division and suddenly I am partyless. Its not about me. It is also about the party and my supporters.

Q: good mrng datuk seri dr chua. good to see you on nstlive so early. i always wanted to know what would you do for the Chinese community if you become mca president?

A: MCA must walk the talk. While we are a Chinese base party, we should champion all issues affecting the Rakyat from helping the poor, irrespective of race, improving the security situation in the country, seeing the leadership of Najib, being fair to all races, and improving the investment climate of malaysia. We have to move up the value chain if we want to achieve a high income country.

Q: wow!!! its good to catch you so early. how are things going on your side?do you think ong can be ousted out once and for all, we are just fed-up with what's going on in the party. it looks more like personal agenda rather than party agenda.

A: you are smart that you can smell the rat. We hope that you can join politics and contribute to nation building.

Q: Dr. Chua, I support your fight in MCA though I am not an MCA member...if the MCA leadership really think your controversy DVD has tarnished the party, they should not allow you to contest at the first place. Sacking you after you have won the Deputy President is surely against the members wish ! Good Luck to you sir !

A: Thank you for your support. I hope all the central delegates think like you.

Q: good mrg datuk seri. its good to know that u r not giving up the battle. its very unfair of ong to sack you on grounds of an old issue. what is the sentiment on the ground when you went to the grassroots?

A: The sentiment on the ground is good. But politic is politic. The incumbents has the advantage of making promises. I have nothing to promise the central delegates except to see democracy, justice and fair play prevail in the party.

Q: Datuk Seri, if you don't succeed in your reinstatement as MCA deputy president, will you leave the party and join the opposition? So far, have you been approached by the opposition to join their bandwagon?

A: I will not join the opposition. Since I have been sacked no opposition leader has approached me. They are probably aware that I don't give up the fight easily.

Q: You are a man with so many controversies surrounding you. Do you think you can be a good leader with all these?

A: Whether I am a good leader is upto people to judge me. I always try to do my best and people who work with me know that I am a workaholic. For calling a spade a spade, I do invite controversy.

Q: Datuk Seri, frankly speaking, how bad is your relationship with MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, both politically and personally?

A: If the relationship has been good, I would not have been sacked and there is no need for an EGM to resolve the party conflict.

Q: datuk seri how are you? honestly, i feel upset with mca's top leadership. so many things are going on in the country but everyone seem to be focused on a power struggle. why datuk seri? with the sort of support that you have, i think if you go out and start you own party and prove to the chinese community that you can do more things than mca. why aren't you leaving the party after everything it has done to you?

A: Thank you for your suggestion. The party conflict is because the president do not have the confidence in his leadership and always feel threatened by my presence. I have no intention of setting up a party. MCA has still have very good grassroots leaders who are very committed in their work. What we need is to provide them direction and hope.

Q: I am sorry Datuk. But OTK sounds and looks like a good man. He is clean or rather perceived to be clean and should make a good leader. But at the same time, you are brash and strong and that I believe also good qualities. difficultlah for Chinese to make a choice. Why put them in a spotlah?

A: Your perception can be very misleading. Its not true to say I am brash. I am committed to what I believe in.

Q: Do you think that Ong will gain more sympathy votes from saying that he's being pressured by your team to accept your resolution rather than his?

A: I don't think so. How can my people pressure the presidency. it was achieved through a lengthy negotiation.

Q: I can't believe people keep bringing up your old story just to make a point. i will let you know that you have my respect for owning up and making an apology. not many would do that! but i would like to datuk, are you emotionally or mentally affected by people who keep bringing up old issues? if there is one thing you can do to tell them off, what would it be?

A: It is world of an encouragement from people like you that makes my life keep going on. People do make mistakes. it is important to own the mistake, don't repeat it and continue. to live a full life. There will always be people who will pick on old issues.

Q: Dato Sri, why dont you consider to join Party Cinta Malaysia, rather than to stay in a party that nobody appreciate you?

A: I am committed to MCA and I want to die as an MCA member.

Q: Sorry I need to ask you this.... How do you deal with the sniggers when you go for international conferences if you make a Ministerial comeback?

A: I have already said it openly that I am not interested in any ministerial post and I am not ashamed to own up my mistake.

Q: The MCA president, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, has accused you of putting Plan B in position, i.e. forming a new party called the "Parti Cintai Malaysia", in case you fail in your reinstatement as deputy president in the coming MCA EGM. Is there any truth to it?

A: As I have said it, it is the grandfather of all nonsense. There is no reason to have plan B and to join another party.

Q: Dear Dr. Chua, I love to see this Headline in all the newspapers after the D Day of the EGM.......ONG TEE KEAT, YOU ARE FIRED!

A: How I wish your love to see this headline be fulfilled.

Q: Datuk Seri, can you highlight 3 ways in you very point of view to bring the Chinese community in Malaysia back together in 1 piece.

A: First, the party need to be united. Secondly, the chinese must accept that this is a multiracial country where no race should take all and no race should be marginalised from the main stream of the nation's development. There must be spirit of compromises for the larger picture of nation building.

Q: Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, the MCA president, has raised three issues in accusing you of toppling him from the party and his post. They are: 1. Raising RM100 million 2. Having gangster links 3. Forming a new party called 'Parti Cintai Malaysia' as a Plan B in case you lose in your reinstatement endeavour. Is it true? What have you got to say?

A: As I have said, this is mother of all lies. I don't have RM100 million and I don't need that amount of money to topple the presidency. All I need is 2,400 central delegates who wants to see a united party. A party with clear direction, with team spirit, making decision by consensus, and not a one man show. I don't have any link with gangsters nor any intention to form a new party. This is my president's spinning to tarnish my image.

Q: Datuk Seri, you have been accused of ganging up with Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing to topple him as MCA president. Is it true? Or is this a way out for the MCA president to divert his problems with the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) fiasco?

A: This is another of the baseless allegation haul by my president. He just love to spin and smear other people's name and the end result is that we don't know when it is half truth, the truth or complete lie.

Q: My friends in MOH said that you were the best Minister Of Health that they ever had. All along I think that you are an intelligent and forceful leader. If you win the EGM and later become the MCA President, will you be able to avoid being called a catspaw to UMNO by the DAP? With multiple police reports made against you, will you be held at ransom for they could invoke those reports against you anytime they want to subdue you. What is your comment on this?

A: report has been lodged against me before and no action has been taken since its difficult to obtain a conviction based on a very outdated law. I will not be pawn to anybody. You should know by now that I am committed to my cause and a fighter with a reason.

Q: Datuk Seri, just today Malaysia Today has an article posted about your political secretary involved in a land scam in Johor during the tenure when you were the Health Minister. Also the sequence of events leading to the land scam was posted in http://mohlandscam.blogspot.com. How will these recent postings affect your position in the coming MCA's EGM. We are concern for you.

A: This case was reported to the MACC many months ago. It is a baseless allegation concorted by some people with a political agenda.

Q: I have 2 questions for Datuk Seri: The MCA's support to revert teaching Maths and Science to Chinese primary school is most disappointing to middle class Chinese families. If you are reinstated and become the new MCA President, what will you do to gain the support most of the English educated Chinese who are currently PR supporters?

A: There is always two sides to a coin. There is also a lot of chinese who wants to use their mother tongues to teach maths and science. We cannot deny that our children need to learn english. We just have to be multilingual.

On the EGM

Q: You have proposed five resolutions in the impending party EGM. If it is endorsed by the delegates, what next?

A: We have a tremendous of work to do- one to close rank, no witch hunting, we have to listen more to the grass root and also the needs and expectations of the Chinese community and the rakyat.

Q: Good morning, Datuk Seri Dr Chua. How have you been keeping (politically speaking) since you were sacked on August 26, 2009 by the MCA party leadership based on the disciplinary board's recommendation. Your supporters have succedded in calling for an extraordinary general meeting of the party (EGM) to reinstate you as deputy president among 5 resolutions agreed upon. What would the outcome of the EGM be and its impending consequences? Do you think you would be reinstated as deputy president by the coming EGM? How confident are you? Care to comment, Datuk Seri?

A: I have faith in the political maturity and the wisdom of the central delegates. While they are interested is to see an MCA where there is closing of ranks and there is team spirit and not a one man show and that there should be a road map of internal reformation of the party so that we can face the next coming general election.

Q: good morning datuk seri, how is the egm which you are spearheading coming in, have you enough quota to give a no-confidence motion against your president?

A: Well. thank you for keeping up with the current affairs of MCA. I have confident that the delegates want to see a party with direction and a leadership that can inspire hope and confidence. We cannot be in the same state as we are now. Sailing with a captain that has no clear vision of how to sail the ship properly.

Q: A very good morning, Dr Chua. You are back again on NSTLive for another live chat with readers. Thank you for it. The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the MCA is on, to be held by 11 October, 2009. Five resoultions will be tabled, one among them is calling for your reinstatement as deputy president. How confident will you be as far as the reinstatement is concerned? What are your chances with the backing of your ardent supporters?

A: We do not know the date of EGM yet. What was agreed yesterday was to adopt all the resolutions submitted by the central delegates so that we will have one EGM because of the coming Hari Raya, I feel that the date will be after Hari Raya. It should not be delayed since the earlier we resolve the conflict the better it will be for the MCA.

Q: Good morning Datuk. How are you and how the EGM coming up. Feel confident of garnering enough support?

A: I am doing OK. Life has to go on. I am confident of gettingthe support of the central delegates.

Q: Hi. I am disappointed that the Prime Minister has washed his hands of in resolving the MCA issue. Do you seriously think that there should be a credible and reputable observers during the proposed EGM to ensure there is no "dirty tactics" used by Ong's people.

A: Well. I think what the PM did was what MCA members wanted, that is let us resolve our internal conflict without interference from outsiders. I hope the leadership would manage this EGM fairly and transparently other wise there will be a lot of wild accusations. Lets hope the president is aware of the consequences of a tainted EGM.

Comment:

Dtk Dr Chua. All the very best to you in the coming EGM. If an elected leader cannot hold the party together, then he is NOT FIT to be a leader. He shouldn't even have to wait for an EGM. He should resign. Likewise with you too, if one day you be elected as one. GOD bless MCA with good leaders for beloved Malaysia.

Q&A: We shall prevail, says Chua

Adapted from Malaysiakini, 14.09.09

By Yong Kai Ping and Andrew Ong

Chua Soi Lek is not only confident his supporters have enough endorsements to requisition for an EGM, but he is also confident that their resolutions will be passed.

Among the reasons was that the party grassroots were disenchanted with president Ong Tee Keat's lack of direction which was apparent when the party failed to help BN garner Chinese votes in the past eight by-elections.

Below is an excerpt of Chua's interview with Malaysiakini that took place last Friday:



Do you have the numbers?

I've already challenged people who think that I do not have the number of 1,200 to please come with me to the temple. No one has taken up the challenge. I won't say it is my problem. Tan Chai Ho is a very devout Buddhist. Everyone knows. He believes that a certain day, time and date will be the winning combination.

I don't know how he came to the date... he thinks he can choose a date and time, with the number of delegates to submit. Because he is the chief coordinator, I cannot impose (my views) on him. That is my style.



But time is not on your side...

We have the confidence and the political maturity of the delegates. Not to sign is easy. Signing is a difficult choice. We'll expose them. Their names are submitted and this will be scrutinised with a fine-toothed comb. They will face a lot of harassment.


What about claims that your supporters are harassing delegates, including offering money inducements?

That is nonsense. That is how Ong Tee Keat loses support. These kind of statements, (claiming) that we give money, is insulting the delegates. Where do we find so much money? In my group, not one has government post.

Malaysian politics is such that if you have no government post, no one is going to give you money. Simple. I've gone through this process in my political career.


The aura of a government post is such that people think you are very influential and can grant projects and help people.

When you have no government job, you have nothing to offer.

The central delegates want to see democracy in the party.

They want to see fair play and justice, that the deputy president that is elected by central delegates should not be sacked at his (Ong's) whims and fancy.



Are we looking at two EGMs?

I don't know. Our EGM resolution is known to the other side. They are pretending that they don't know. The whole country is signing. Don't tell me they don't know. To say that they don't know is again the 'father of all lies'.


When Tan Chai Ho went to see the secretary-general to show our resolutions, we wanted to see their so it can be merged. He said there was none. Until now there are a lot of presidential council members who have yet to the resolutions.



Let's go into how you are being attacked. One accusation is that you are an Umno stooge.

He has created a lot of nonsense. The grandfather of all nonsense is that I'm trying to have a new party as a 'Plan B'. I have no 'Plan B'. We are confident the central delegates of MCA will ensure that the EGM and resolutions we proposed would be passed. There is no such thing as 'Plan B'.



He would also always try to tie me with Tiong (King Sing). I have nothing to do with Tiong. This is the greatest nonsense of all nonsense. That's why I call it the grandfather of all nonsense created by Ong Tee Keat.



If you look at Ong's political career, it is built on his eloquence at smearing his opponents. If you check his track record, he has done nothing. Nothing to show even as a president. The only thing he has achieved is to sack me.

Then he said I took RM100 million from Tiong. If I had RM100 million, I would tell Ong, "Please... I don't want to get involved. That presidency is not worth RM100 million". Okay? I never had any intention to be party president.

Back then, I even harboured the thought that he is the most suitable person to be the president. One year later, I have doubts. I'm very sure that he has done nothing for MCA. He has created animosity within the party. He has created division within the party. He has not provided any direction for the party. He has never given hope to the party.



Today, he is surrounded by a lot of appointed members. The other thing that he created is the new party. Earlier, he was talking about gangsters. He says I'm involved in gangsterism. You ask MCA delegates and they will tell you about Ong Tee Keat's background. I don't like to talk about people's past.

So this has not gone down well. I don't have so much money. They say I have taken money. But where are the people who are complaining? Please come forward. I'm sure if there is any complaint, the disciplinary board will happy to look into it.



Then he says I'm the stooge of Umno. The Prime Minister wants to see a strong and united MCA. Don't create such nonsense. A weak and divided MCA is of no use to Barisan Nasional.

A weak MCA is of no use to Umno, because we cannot deliver the votes. The eight by-elections we have gone through is very clear. The Chinese are not supporting BN because of MCA. So don't blame a weak MCA on Chua Soi Lek. because you are the president.



Do you agree with the perception that Ong does not enjoy support from Umno, but you are seen to be close to Najib?

I think people are entitled to personal relationship. For that matter, Ong Tee Keat is not close to anybody. This is not a personal attack. Ask anyone on the street or within the party. Don't ask the appointed members. To me, the root of the problem is that there are too many appointed members who are new and young.



What do you think of the controversies surrounding Ong - that he has allegedly taken money and received free flights courtesy of Tiong?

Ong Tee Keat says I have a tainted background. He tells people I have a tainted image and am a recycled product. He is (thus) whiter than white. He has forgotten that he is the only MCA minister ever hauled up by MACC (for abuse of privileges). He is the only MCA minister who had to go to the police station (to have his statements recorded).

These are things he has to explain. Why is he not taking up the challenge to debate with Tiong? I mean, no one can compare with Tee Keat's command of language. Why is he not producing his wife's account? Why is he not going to the temple to cut the cockerel's head? He is not taking up all these challenges?



About the new party...?

This is the grandfather of all nonsense. I have no idea who the hell is behind this party. Don't use your eloquence to smear people.



What kind of accusations do you think will be levelled against you after this?

Well, he has been consistently attacking me, claiming that I want to destroy the party and that I'm a puppet of Umno to destroy MCA. This is nonsense. Then he claims I'm collaborating with gangsters.

When he went down to Johor, there were MCA division leaders waiting to receive him. He didn't bother with them and told the Chinese press that he was surrounded by gangsters brought in by me. I'm sure you saw in the Chinese press that they (alleged gangsters) brought their MCA membership cards.


Then he says I received RM100 million from Tiong. There is no reason for Tiong to support me. Everybody knows that whoever is the Transport Minister will continue to investigate PKFZ because that is a cabinet decision. Tee Keat presents himself as if he is going on a crusade, forgetting that he himself is tainted.

Now, he is trying to show that he is whiter than white. The Cabinet now says that it is now just a question of corruption and abuse of power. A bigger issue is involved - how to rehabilitate the project and move forward. It is up to the government, with its high-powered task force, to clean up (PKFZ).



If your faction gets its way in the EGM and Ong is toppled, and a new minister is then in charge of the Transport Ministry, would you continue the PKFZ probe?

It is a Cabinet decision. I was a Cabinet member before. Najib knows the rakyat is watching. If the task force doesn't succeed, the government will fall. I know when Najib says something, he will do it.



Some say the 'super' task force was to take away Ong's powers into the probe

That is because he politicised the issue. He turned a ministry function into a political problem. He is creating an image where only he is doing the job and everyone else is not interested. This is creating individual heroism and sacrificing the bigger picture. The bigger picture is BN and MCA. To him that is not important. He has no performance to show off. So he has to use this (PKFZ).


I've said it long before - don't politicise ministry work, don't bring ministry work into your party, because that is self defeating for the Chinese and MCA members. Umno has more ministers than MCA. Imagine if they politicised their ministry work and bring it into Umno and pass an Umno EGM and tell the Chinese community, "this is not what I want to do, but this is what my party wants me to do."



What do you feel is the central reason for the fight between you and Ong?

Firstly, he has failed to provide leadership. There is no direction in MCA. One year after he took over the helm, what has MCA achieved? Nothing! Important issues are hardly discussed. He hardly calls for meetings.

Since the party elections until now, there has only been six presidential council meetings when it should be a weekly affair. Since two of these are emergency meetings, that leaves us with only four - including one to sack me and one to appoint senators.

承诺“倒翁”后不展开秋后算账 蔡细历承认华社已不在乎马华

转载自当今大马,130909

杨凯斌与王德齐

独家专访(二)

遭纪委会开除党籍的前马华署理总会长蔡细历承认,华社在308大选后已经抛弃了自诩为华社代表的马华公会,而作风独裁的总会长翁诗杰必须负上最大的责任。

蔡细历直言不讳华社已经不那么在乎马华,并表示国阵在308大选后8场补选内所蒙受的7场败绩,就是最好的证据。

过去8场补选,国阵只是在砂拉越的巴当艾州议席胜选,却在大马半岛连续7场败给民联。在这7场补选中,华裔选票几乎是一面倒倾向民联,就连副首相慕尤丁也一度开腔抨击华社不懂得感恩

蔡细历承认,现有的党争已经为(马华)带来许多伤害,所有人都必须负上责任,不过你(翁诗杰)作为总会长,却应该负上领导的责任。

否认属元老派和少壮派之争

对于这场因为砍蔡风暴而掀起的党争,被媒体标签为元老派对垒少壮派,抑或前AB队之间的斗争;蔡细历不表认同,反而将之形容为中央代表选出的领袖,与获得受委领袖围绕的总会长之间的斗争。

他更火力全开地抨击,这些围绕总会长身边的受委领袖皆是盲从之母Mother of Yes Man)。

你看到有些受委领袖,现在有司机和车载送,人们会开始问他们到底是从哪里获得这些利益?他们已经变成盲从之母

他也声称,马华正副部长实际上没有涉及这场党争,似乎是要把其他党领袖和翁诗杰切割开来,以争取他们的支持。

马华正副部长其实都没有涉及这场党争。整场纷争是因为总会长(翁诗杰)本身,不懂得扮演船长的导航角色而引发,他以为可以自由转左转右,走上走下。

奉行集体领导重用有才华者

蔡细历也公开承诺,一旦倒翁成功,蔡派将会奉行集体领导,绝对不会秋后算账,对付挺翁派成员。

他强调,一场纷争自然会有支持和反对的成员,因此他们在特大赢得胜利后,绝对不会奉行猎巫行动,或歧视和边缘化任何领袖。

我们会奉行集体领导,我们会听取基层的意见。那些有才华或政绩的人士,都会被带回来。

他是於周五在八打灵再也一家酒店,接受《当今大马》中英文版和网络电视的独家专访时,如此表示。这也是他在826日被会长理事会撤销党籍后,首次接受媒体的专访。

对总会长直选改革有所保留

询及蔡派胜利后是否仍然会延续翁诗杰所提出的党内改革计划,包括总会长直选制,蔡细历明显持有保留的态度。

他表示,党内曾经召开会议进行讨论,并且产生许多质疑,包括马华要如何公正地清理党员册,确保不会成为派系之间的角力。

你不能因为知道这个区会反对你,所以就清理得干干净净,那些支持你的区会,却只是随随便便地清理。那时,反对你的区会就缩小至真正的数目,但是支持的区会却没有。这是不公平的,不符合一人一票原则。

他批评,翁诗杰根本不曾没有具体的改革计划,后者只是提出直选制的概念,但是却不曾和其他人深入讨论。

我建议我们应该举行一天的脑力激荡会议,让马华党员来决定。你不能在没有详细解释实行方式和后果的情况下,直接把它列入为特大的项目。

巫统马华关系靠共识非对抗

针对一般印象认为翁诗杰在处理马华和巫统关系时,尝试突显敢怒敢言的形象来赢回民心时;蔡细历则反驳说,翁诗杰只是在党员参与的闭门会议里扮英雄及逞英雄,并不敢公开呛声巫统。

我已经公开挑战他不要只是闭门会议中抨击巫统,并公开表明他是唯一敢违抗首相和副首相的马华总会长。唯他不曾这么做。

他也表示,本身并不相信公开对抗巫统是有效的争取方式,反而更倾向于使用建立共识的方式。毕竟,马华和巫统在选举时都是共同使用国阵旗帜上阵,因此任何行动都不应该破坏国阵的形象。

不管你喜欢不喜欢,你都是联盟中的一员。你到底是要以直接对抗的方式,还是要达到共识来赢得一些东西?我不相信直接对抗,你不应该和任何资深抑或资浅的盟友直接对抗。

你必须接受首相和副首相是来自巫统,大多数内阁成员也都来自巫统,所以这必须看你怎样和他们合作。(英谚说)剥猫皮是有很多种的方式。

性爱丑闻后不退休无关尊严

询及许多人心中的疑问,即他在去年初因性爱光碟丑闻爆发而辞职后,为何仍然不肯引退而选择延续其政治斗争时,蔡细历强调这无关尊严的问题,而是因为他希望能够继续贡献给党。

如果我不能继续提供贡献,你认为我还能获得这样多的支持?我已经不是部长,已经没有官职,我甚至也不是州联委会主席。

我对他们的支持感到感激,因为马华至少还有许多党员希望看到正义。既然党员选择像我这样的领袖,就应该允许我继续服务,为何要现在,即20个月后采取纪律行动对付我?

他讥讽说,开除他这也是马华历史上的一项创举,因为纪律委员会是在投报者撤回投诉后,继续向他采取纪律行动。

他也声称,有关的性爱光碟是别人拍摄陷害他,而并非自己所拍摄,然后才泄露出去。他表示,若是后一个情况,本身将会选择自行引退。

为什么大家不针对拍摄者?我们是不是要有这样的政治文化,当你想要去除一个人时,可以去拍摄其他人的私隐生活,或者陷害他?
