Press statement by Mandy Ooi, Personal Assistant to Selangor State Senior EXCO Teresa Kok in Shah Alam on 28 September 2011
MCA repeating lies on SJKT Castlefield Puchong’s school land application problem to smear Teresa Kok’s name when the chairman of the school board has already refuted their accusation and spoken in her defence
MCA has continued their wild lies that the SJKT Castlefied, Puchong’s land application problem was caused by Teresa Kok when they should be addressing the true cause of the problem which is the wrong instructions issued by the Education Ministry to SJKT Castlefield and the Education Ministry’s cowardice in its unwillingness to admit fault in the matter.

Even Mr Nagamuthu Periasamy, the Chairman of SJKT Castlefield himself has publicly criticised MCA Youth National Chairman and Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong for his wrongful accusations against Teresa Kok, denied her involvement in the matter and spoken in her defence at his press conference held on 23 September 2011. He even produced documents which prove that the problem was caused by misinformation by the Federal Government.
MCA’s irresponsible politicking of this school land reserve not only angers the Chinese community but also the Indian community, particularly the Indians in Puchong who have been given the runaround and had their time wasted by the Federal Government over their application.
MCA President Chua Soi Lek’s blind statement shows that he has either been misled by his advisors, or that he himself has intentionally distorted the facts to make MCA appear relevant to the Chinese community in Malaysia.
It is sad to see how low MCA will go to try to claim relevance in today’s mature multi-ethnic Malaysia which is evolving beyond race-based political parties. MCA’s handling of this matter shows that MCA is not a party for all Malaysians but a race-based party that survives based on lies and falsehood, and is now at the brink of political bankruptcy.

MCA is irrelevant long time ago and therefore has nothing else but lies and deceits for the people they are supposed to represent. Long enough for them to have learnt from their political masters, the deceitful and corrupted Umnoputras, how to be deceitful and corrupt !
MCA is a dinosaur – the very fact that your site allows reader to comment but MCA’s site does not shows that the MCA site is all about political mileage without the proper people-politician dialogue that is necessary for the politicians to do their job properly.
Keep it up Teresa.
