Press statement by Teresa Kok, Selangor State Senior EXCO and MP for Seputeh in Shah Alam, 4 May 2011
Shameful of MCA’s Liow Tiong Lai to call DAP “real racist” while kowtowing to the hate speech and racist spiel of Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa
MCA Vice President Liow Tiong Lai’s should hang his head in shame for having accused the DAP of being “the practitioner of real racism” when MCA is inherently a race-based party that condones the fear-mongering, hate speech and racist spiel spouted by Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa.
It’s also absurd that Liow would make his wild accusation at the multi-racial DAP when MCA accepts only Malaysians of Chinese descent as its members. As its constitution states:
“9.0 Subject to Article 14 hereof no person may be accepted nor having been accepted may remain as a member unless:
9.1 he is a Malaysian citizen of Chinese descent”
In contrast, DAP membership is open to all Malaysians regardless of race. DAP welcomes all Malaysians to join in our struggle for a peaceful and prosperous social democracy.
This is obvious in DAP’s line-up of elected representatives. In the Dewan Rakyat, DAP has 22 Members of Parliament who are of Chinese descent, 5 of Indian descent, and 2 of Punjabi descent. I challenge Liow to state how many non-Chinese MPs that MCA has. The answer is zero.
As for the Dewan Negara, DAP has a Senator who is Malay and a second who is of Indian descent. I challenge Liow to state how many non-Chinese Senators that MCA has. The answer is again zero.
In this regard, MCA is no different from its long-time political partners UMNO and MIC which accepts only Bumiputera and only Indians respectively as members, to the exclusion of other Malaysians.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Liow turns a blind eye to the true “practitioners of real racism” that they are in league with. How silent was Liow when the UMNO-owned Utusan Malaysia newspaper urged Malays to unite behind a 1Melayu 1Bumi movement to take on the so-called Chinese challenge. And how powerless is Liow to condemn Perkasa, the Malay supremacist group whose membership consists largely of UMNO members, which castigates the Chinese for being ungrateful for the great concession of being born Malaysian citizens.
As MCA Vice President and the Health Minister of the 1Malaysia government, Liow should not embarrass himself and his party further with his baseless attacks against DAP which only call attention to MCA’s own inherent weakness as a race-based party. I urge him to instead find the moral courage to condemn the racist and divisive politics played by UMNO, MIC, Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa instead of kowtowing to them for MCA’s selfish political survival.
Teresa Kok
As ranking second man in his party, he just cannot kept silence for many days as his boss has shouted so much recently.
Therefore he choosed a childish topic to accuse DAP as a real racist to please his boss and supporters. However, his statements carry him a low standard and misleading as all Malaysian knows DAP is a composite party with multi races. He may not be aware that the Chairman of the party is YB Kapal of the Silk and Secretary General authorised his Bumi member to administrate the party.
Perhaps MCA now under severe stress and pressure when Sarawak lost 8% of votes in 416 state election. The 13th General election may ended up his party like the SUPP of Sarawak.

When critising dap they barked so loud but when abused by perkosa amno, silence is golden.Not a soul from the million members dared to stand up and look into these wild cowboys face.How pathetic!
Come next GE MCA will be without a representative in parliament and is therefore irreverent to what the lackeys have to say or do.
So Theresa don’t waste your time on these lackeys and just concentrate your time to build a better to morrow for the Malaysian instead.
When a racial political party lost in the atate where the racial they claim to represent to another party, the only reason is they are not racial enough to win the race they represented. By that reason they claom the other party is more racist. The fail to realise that the race they claim to represent had been able to see the bigger picture than to rather focus on the outdated racial agenda. They must realise that for Malaysia to progress they need a true Malaysian who are able to work for all Malaysian not just for the people who supported them. More and more Malaysian are enlighten on this requirement and even if UMNO will to continue on this racial line they shall lose their support from the enlighten Malaysian too.
The enlighten Malaysian can only see one race i.e. the true Malaysian who against corruption, abuse of power and who practise fair and equal as per constituition laid down.
Working under a porn star itself is very degrading, whatelse to talk about others? If you can handle racist PERKASA then only you handle others! Like the chinese saying goes:- “Don’t take care of chickens but take care of eagles”
Forget about MCA. They are loosers and will call names. They will not be around after the next GE. D
Don’t waste your time with mCA.
These bootlickers could really stoop so low! Pathetic!!!
Btw, why did PM “threaten” the Chinese that if the latter don’t support MCA, there’ll be no Chinese representation in the Govn? Shldn’t it be the case that the PM represents all Malaysians, regardless of race and religion? Isn’t he slapping his own face now??? Pathetic!!!
Perkasa can made the racist comments because of the “Melayu cepat lupa” of their Hindusim origin together with the Bugis and Minang Kabau history.
Wonder how the non-Malay Muslims think about Perkasa’s Ketuaan Melayu concept and laugh about it?
DAP — Standup and fight, we are with you !
