No face 颜脸无光

Chua Soi Lek, the President of MCA (Malaysia Chinese Association, coalition partner of ruling Barisan National Coalition ) is a frustrated man. He is so helpless and incapacitated by the current volatile situation of the country, his party is loosing support by the days. Surely, he is not a popular man in the country or within his own party either.

He is a sitting duck. And what a sitting duck can do is ... get hit and just yell quack quack quack !

He is making comment after comment, statement after statement, but no action, or rather inaction.

And he is obsessed with Opposition leaders Lim Guan Eng, Anwar.... His focus is just picking on them, even on trivial and personal issues.

Poor Chua, more salt is being rubbed into his wound.

Recently, an unresolved issue that MCA has been struggling to settle for the past decades, was resolved by an outsider (organisation) in a half-hour meeting with the Prime Minister Najib. All MCA and Chua, and MCA Deputy Education Minister could do is ... bang balls !! 

Issue at hand is the demand by the Chinese community for the government to recognise the private schools Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) which is recognised and accepted by more than 500 universities in the world, of which more 82 are world top 200 universities, but not by Malaysia government!

A delegation from The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia, led by its ambitious Chairman Fang Tian xing (pic right ), met the Prime Minister on 16/1/2013 to discuss various issues faced by the Chinese community, including UEC, allocation for Chinese schools, shortage of Chinese schools and teachers ....

Private Chinese secondary students can opt to sit for government SPM (Malaysia Education Certificate) and / or the private UEC. However, UEC is not accepted for entry into local universities.

After the meeting, it was announced that the Prime Minister has in concept, to recognise the UEC on 2 conditions ...  This was already a positive news from the government to the community which has been waiting for past many decades!

A long time educational issue which is very important to the Chinese community, was resolved by the Federation in just half an hour ...

MCA Deputy Minister of Education Wee Ka Siong and President Chua Soi Lek ... where to put your faces !!!

No wonder, this news was not even mentioned by The Star, the biggest circulation mainstream English newspaper owned by MCA, but making headlines in all major Chinese newspapers.

Is MCA still relevant ?
马华公会总会长蔡细历,是个非常颓丧的人。面对目前我国的“大选欲来风满楼”的紧崩局势,他可说是无助,也无能以助!他也不是我国受喜爱的一个政客,甚至在党内,也是同样的情形。

他的状况,可说是西洋谚语中的“座地鸭”,只有受攻击,不能还手,只好“呱呱呱呱”的在叫嚷。

是的,他的叫嚷就是口水多过茶,召开记者会,发文告,但毫无行动,也不能行动。

这就应对了他的拿手口头禅:“自己讲,自己听,自己爽!”

他几乎是对反对党领袖林冠英及安华独有癖好,针对他们的谈话及文告,事无大小,可说是没完没了!

最近蔡总更是雪上加霜,伤口再抹上盐!

一支来自华总(马来西亚中华大会堂总会)代表团,在雄心勃勃的会长方天兴的带领下,于16/1会见了首相纳吉,商讨一些有关华社的课题。其中最重要的一项是关于政府承认华文独中的『统考』文凭。

在马来西亚,华文独立中学(私人,无政府的任何津贴或辅助)的学生可以选择考取政府的『教育文凭』及独中本身的『统考』文凭,或只选择『统考』文凭。

『统考』文凭受到全世界大约500所的大学承认,接纳为入学资格,其中有82所是在世界顶尖200所大学的排名榜内。但统考却不被马来西亚政府承认,所以不能作为入学资格文凭。这就是华社大力要争取到一项诉求。

马华公会过去十多年来,也都在大力争取政府的承认,但都不成功。

在半个小时的会议过后,方天兴却宣布,首相大致上已经能够接受『统考』文凭,只是需加上两个条件。

更不用说,首相还答应会更开明的对待华校,包括增建及迁校来满足华社的需要!

马华拼了命还争取不到的,更不用说副教育部长还是马华的人,而华总却在半个小时之内就取得了成果,虽然还有条件,也没有任何文件支持,但已经是足够令华社振奋了!

蔡细历及副教育部长魏家祥,你们的颜脸何在?

不怪的马华本身控制的【星报】(全马最大销量的英文报)对这则新闻只字不提。。。因为丢脸也!!

华教是华社的灵魂,这么重要的课题,功劳却给华总拿了。。就如关丹独中一样,马华就是被华总牵着鼻子走。。

马华还有生存的价值吗??

华总威风八面!
