Chua Soi Lek as President Of MCA will be doing a great service to the chinese community if he disband the MCA party and donate the $2 billion in assets of the party to a foundation that will help the chinese community in the development of chinese schools and scholarships for worthy and needy students.
MCA as it is will not survive the next election and most likely will see its demise as a chinese political party purportedly representing the chinese community. The truth of the matter which is obvious to every one except MCA leaders who are enjoying ministerial status and other perks offerred to MCA apointees is that MCA has long ago lost its mass appeal to the chinese community. MCA leaders must accepts the current reality that it no longer can claim to speak on behlaf of the chinese community..The fact that it can even elect a tainted person involved in pornogaphy to be their President speaks volume as to how it has degenerated as aparty that lacks moral but also display a lack of charismatic leadership to lead the party from its present crisis.
MCA has evovlved itself in the same mould as UMNO. Its members are in the party not for the community but more for their own personal interest.Therefore its not surprising for Chua Soi Lek to appoint his own son to be the Deputy Minister in the cabinet when there are countless other more suitable candidates who could easily excel over his son.The practice of course is not only confine to MCA. MIC has Vel Pari, Gerakan has Lim Keng Yaik's son, and in Sarawak Mahmud Taib's son, Sulaiman Taib. The whole gamut of nepotism in political apointees is quite endemic in B.N's circle.
As the saying goes that you can fool some people some of the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time . Yes B.N and their coterie of members have been fooling the people for the best part of 50 years and alas the majority of the people have now realised the motives of these so called leaders who have put their self interest ahead of public interest.
No matter how MCA may want to repackage themselves in order to win over the chinese support, the sad undeniable truth is that it is too late for any remedy to be effective. MCA is a lost cause and it would be doing the chinese community a great favour if it dissolves iteslf and use the funds it has accumulated to help the community in other ways. MCA is no longer relevant to the chinese cause and its only possible way to survive is to continue to hang on to the coat tail of UMNO's malay support in the constituency it is contesting.
