Teresa Kok, enough with the tai chi talk

 


The Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) today charted a clear course towards public accountability, leaving DAP MP YB Teresa Kok behind 'lost' in a sea of red herrings and personal attacks.

Instead of addressing MCA's valid criticisms about MyJPJ and airfares constructively, YB Kok's resort to personal attacks reveals her level of maturity, and as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's famous quote best describes it, “If they attack you personally, they have not a single political argument left”.

The MCA reiterates that its feedback on Transport Ministry policies have been solely grounded in legitimate concerns affecting the Malaysian public. The MyJPJ’s security vulnerabilities would compromise sensitive personal information, putting millions at risk; while exorbitant prices of air travel could adversely impact cost of living and tourism in East Malaysia.

Highlighting these critical issues is not a sign of being “lost”, but rather a testament to MCA’s unwavering commitment to the well-being of all Malaysians.

If YB Kok equates public advocacy with being 'lost', then perhaps she and her party have truly strayed from their own core values of transparency and accountability. Is DAP so threatened by constructive criticism that it resorts to baseless attacks and dismisses genuine concerns as mere political disorientation?

The MCA urges YB Kok and DAP to refocus their energies on addressing the cascade of crises plaguing the nation. DAP's claim to responsible leadership would be better served by addressing these issues constructively. Instead of empty rhetorics, let them demonstrate these professed values by tackling critical matters like data security and airfare affordability. Meanwhile, the MCA remains dedicated to working constructively with all parties, but will not hesitate to speak up for the people when warranted.

We are confident that Malaysians are able to see through these barefaced attempts at distraction and hold their elected representatives accountable for their actions and inactions. While some may choose to be 'lost' in the maze of political expediency, the MCA will continue to shine a light on issues that matter to the public.

Accidents caused by heavy vehicles are a growing threat to road safety

  The frequent occurrence of accidents involving trucks and trailers in Malaysia has become a pressing concern, highlighting systemic issues within the country's transportation and enforcement systems.  These heavy vehicles, essential for the logistics and supply chain sectors, have been implicated in numerous fatal accidents, often due to negligence, poor maintenance, or inadequate oversight. One of the glaring problems is the lack of enforcement on overloaded trucks. Overloading not only compromises the stability of these vehicles but also accelerates wear and tear on roads, increasing the risk of accidents.  Despite stringent regulations, enforcement remains inconsistent, allowing errant operators to prioritize profits over public safety. Driver fatigue is another critical factor. Many truck drivers endure grueling hours to meet delivery deadlines, often at the expense of rest and alertness.  Without strict adherence to working hour limits and proper monitoring me...

CIA Declassified: Current Situation in Malaya

17 November 1949 SUMMARY Primarily, Malaya is of importance to the US because it is the world's greatest producer of rubber and tin. In 1948 Malaya produced almost half of the total world production of natural rubber and more than a third of the world production of tin. World War II brought forcibly to US attention the importance of these vital commodities to a war-making machine; they retain their importance, if less urgently, in time of peace, and are on the lists of strategic materials designated for US stockpiling. Through the rubber and tin industries, Malaya is the sterling bloc's biggest dollar-earner. As such, Malaya's economic position materially affects that of the UK in the Western Alliance and thus affects ERP and other US financial commitments in Europe. Of secondary but considerable importance are Singapore's extensive naval facilities and strategic location on world shipping lanes. Control of the Malayan peninsula, and especially th...
