It is rather sad that leaders like Hishammuddin lacks the intelligence to understand why MCA, MIC and Gerakan are weak.In the grand design of formulating policies it is undisputed that UMNO proposed and disposed of policies without even thinking how it may affect the parties in the coalition. A share of the blame must certainly be accorded to the weak leadership in the ranks of MCA, MIC and Gerakan which barely raised any objections in the formulation of policies which are detrimental to their communities interest.
Even basic policy of giving out scholarships based on race rather than on merit was not even defended by MCA, MIC and Gerakan and this policy alone deprived great numbers of qualified students to be awarded scholarships to do critical courses of their choice.Therefore it was not surprising how such foolish policy would affect the position of the other component parties whose affected members were mainly non malays. So how does UMNO in general and Hisham in particular blamed MCA for not containing UMNO's fallout?Obviously, it was UMNO's policy which caused the resentment towards MCA, MIC and Gerakan and they themselves were at great pains to even contain their own fallout with their own members and community.
Because of weak leaders in the component parties of MCA, MIC and Gerakan, UMNO leaders were able to ride rough shod over these parties and formulated policies which marginalised the other communities.But more importantly, UMNO policies also sadly marginalised the very community they had sworn to help and protect.Instead, UMNO's help was for their own family members and cronies where millions if not billions were siphoned out under the pretext of bailing out failed bumiputra's company. Layers of commission were factored in the development contracts meant to elevate the plight of the rural malays and in the end only token money were hardly left visible for any tangible development.The inevitable reality remains after 54 years of UMNO's rule, the malays had remained impoverished and had remained behind their non-malays counterpart.All these can be merely attributed to UMNO's leaders greed for power and money.
