– Honest Man
The Malaysian Insider
April 02, 2013
APRIL 2 – If there was a prize for the most unintentionally funny as well as pathetic political party around, MCA would score top marks and take the blue ribbon.
It was reported in The Malaysian Insider today that the MCA had issued itself a “report card” and gave itself top marks.
The MCA is also said to be using this as a major plank in its Election 2013 campaign.
If having a president with a sex scandal past is not bad enough, the issuing of this report card will finally prove to the public that the MCA is a party with zero ideas and even less shame.
To Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and his party strategists here’s a little nugget of knowledge which you may have missed when you were in school.
Self praise is no praise at all.
Actually for your benefit, the correct idiom is self praise is no recommendation.
Perhaps Dr Chua and his strategists missed class the day they taught Politics 101, but it is not for the party to praise its own achievements.
It is the public that gives its elected representatives and politicians a report card.
And how does the public do that?
In an election.
It is no wonder that even those in Umno do not think much of MCA.
This is probably because the party under Dr Chua has rightfully earned enough marks to be conferred with the moniker of Malaysian Clowns Association.
