“MCA is a party that is least qualified to talk about political courage,” Kok told reporters today.
“Umno has done so much nonsense against MCA and the non-Malay community, yet MCA still sticks as Umno’s partner,” added the Seputeh MP.
The Star reported today MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek challenging the DAP to show political courage by condemning the raid.
Kok said, however, that the MCA banned its members from joining the July 9 Bersih 2.0 rally after the polls watchdog was outlawed, despite knowing that people were unhappy with the “unfair” electoral system.
“Whatever Umno announces, they just support and follow all the way,” she said.
Kok also pointed out that DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang has decried the Jais raid and called it “deplorable”.
Jais enforcement officers swooped in on a dinner function at DUMC late Wednesday night without a warrant based on an unspecified complaint, bringing with them a team of policemen.
Between 100 and 120 people, including several Muslims, attended the non-religious event to celebrate NGO Harapan Komuniti’s success in helping women, children, HIV/AIDS sufferers and victims of natural disasters.
Kok stressed that she opposed the raid, repeating her remarks — which she made before the Selangor government issued a gag order on state executive councillors — that were reported in Chinese newspaper Sin Chew Daily today.
“Jais shouldn’t just raid non-Muslim places of worship because this is a violation of freedom of assembly and freedom of belief,” said the senior state executive councillor.
She also lambasted her colleague, Datuk Hasan Ali, for defending the raid. “He shouldn’t have issued a statement defending Jais that contravened the state government’s stand,” said Kok, as quoted in Sin Chew Daily.
Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said on Thursday that he regretted the incident and asked Jais to justify its raid.

YB Teresa,pls stop replying to mca about thier hypocrisy. The real issue now is as long as hassan is in pas-pakatan, we selangorians are prepared to vote out pas in selangor eventho’ it may mean pakatan losing selangor to bn, so be it becos we are not amused with this hassan guy’s tricks every now and then.You see, we are smarter than him we know what’s his ultimate objective.Pkatan can tolerate his nonsense, not the rakyat.
It would be better for MCA to fight for their racial right. As for YB is would always be better to fight all Malaysian right. If you talk about your race first Malaysian later than you might have to slowly lose your Malaysian right.
it is a manufactured trap. if DAP do what MCA says it should do, then UMNO / Perkasa will fire their salvo,; avoid this situation, then MCA will bark like they are doing now
this highlight the fact tat there is no real middle ground within BN ranks. take a right turn, 1 side will bark; take the other side the other side will bark
so how could these 2 poles gell together and work together? this is a clear evidence of manufactured nonsense designed to do what BN does best – harp on non-issue while we suffer those corruption, leakages, abuse of power real issues.
now what has MCA done for Teoh Beng Hock, SRJK(C), churches…their “fight for chinese stance”? nizar and khalid ibrahim have done a lot for the chinese, dare MCA admit?
less than 3% of Yayasan N.S. study loans go to chinese, so MCA, have you checked on tat matter?
Pray that the truth will eventually previal over those put up lies and empty vessel shows.
