My statement dated 11th June, 2013:-
Of late, there were various reports of MCA service centers being
closed after MCA suffered its worst defeat in history in GE13. What is more
obvious are the lights for the stage and some decorations at the Jonker Walk,
Melaka, which were switched off immediately after the GE13 until now.
It is said that such acts are part of these MCA leaders’ revenge against the voters for not voting for MCA. If it is true, this is indeed a shameful act in this maturing democracy. Leaders of political parties ought to realize that we are actually servants of the rakyats. By offering ourselves in the General Election, we are actually offering to serve the people. It is pathetic that after being defeated, we are sending messages to the electorates that we will not serve them and we will punish the voters for they have not voted for us.
Sending such message is seriously flawed and instead of becoming
sore losers, we ought to study why the electorates have not voted for us. Is it
that our service has not been sufficient or is it that we have not been vocal
enough to be the voice of the people when we were elected into power? These are
serious questions which we must consider and address instead of pushing the
blame to the voters. Some leaders have openly stated that the voters were duped
or conned by the DAP or Pakatan Rakyat but we in MCA and Barisan Nasional are
equally at fault for not countering these alleged lies and enlighten the voters
with facts and truths.
Given such circumstances, MCA leaders must stop blaming the
voters and try to punish the voters by not serving them. We must always keep in
mind that the rakyats are the
“bosses” and if we choose to try to punish them, we will only lose their
support and be punished by the electorates in GE14.
