（吉隆坡26日讯）马华雪州联委会副秘书兼格拉那再也区会主席王钟璇揭露，自从308大选雪州州政权落入民联手中后，身为国阵的马华，初期在筹办地方活动或受邀出席活动时都曾面对许多不便。有些地方组织，更因国阵在州府已非执政成员，倾向民联议员而边缘化马华地方领袖。这些都令身为马华基层领袖的我们，深感无奈及难过。
她发表文告说，她不否认，至今有许多选民，尤其是华裔，对马华领袖仍存有负面看法; 认为马华领袖是为个人或政治利益参政，把马华领袖的形象定格在 ‘以己为先，以民为后’ 的负面状况中。这让马华领袖在308大选后的初期，在地方上的服务比过去辛苦; 市民不单冷待国阵一份子的我们，还对我们有一定程度上的抗拒。
她指出，无论如何，她和区会领袖并不曾因此而却步。我们办活动，邀请非政府组织代表及当地市民出席，自动请缨积极参与当地的活动及申谈与市民有关课题，让大家看到我们的诚意而逐步接受。
这两年多来的努力与真诚，让当地的居民与一些非政府组织，感受到马华在大选落败后仍不屈不挠，继续在地方上努力为民，针对国家课题也勇于批判。
虽然至今仍有部分华社人士没注意及看到马华在308大选后的转变与努力，令努力为政的马华领袖感到遗憾与无奈。
她希望华社及选民认真看待马华领袖的改变，以给予马华地方领袖继续服务的力量。同时，大家应看清在国阵的领袖不全是烂货，在民联的领袖也不全是清流及有勇之士; 我们必须纠正这种偏激的看法，才能理智的看待局势。
许多选民在308大选时，因一些突发事件引起隐藏心中已久对执政阵线的不满，不约而同地投下了情绪票。
事隔两年多，民联的表现也并不全让选民满意。一些在竞选期时随口对台下群众许下的诺言，更因当时不知有受法令的限制而在台上呐喊，至今无法兑现承诺。
她举例说，比如曾承诺一旦执政，将取消梳邦大班的停车费; 后则改口说只曾承诺提供乐龄及残障人士在该区免付车费, 然而残障人士免付车费早已实行而乐龄人士在实施时面对不便。更比如曾说执政后会改进交通阻塞及治安问题; 稍有改善则归功自己，无法处理则说权限在中央自己无能为力。
虽然马华至今仍经受华社的批判，但事实上，华社跟马华不曾脱节; 这可从她的服务中心至今仍然有不少人士上门要求马华给与协助，解决各种地方性问题及国家大课题。
反观当初民联曾承诺一旦执政，誓将解决前朝政府的错误决策，还政于民。然而，目前所看到的是国阵政府过去所面对的课题，比如梳邦丽雅湖泊公园发展计划的争议，民联执政的雪州政府不单无法兑现承诺，反而在国阵执政时不曾批准的公园发展公寓计划在民联执政时通过。
两年多来都是老话一句“我会捍卫人民的利益，然而 ‘上面’不听取市民的心声”，再续而连三办 ‘与民对话’ 消遣市民。一些可以大刀阔斧解决的个案，却一拖再拖，以种种 ‘似是而非’的理由推搪。民联国州议员的惯例是不能解决的问题，转个弯推给官员，推给前朝政府，再不就说是中央政府的职责。如当政能如此执政，那谁也可以依样如此泡制当政府了！
Dear Madam Ong, I noted the results on 8th March, 2008 was too shocking and too hard for most of the BN leaders to accept but the leaders had been quite quick in responding to the challenges. However, the issues on MCA leaders were adding salt on the wounds of the Urban City MCA leaders as more educated voters in the cities will condemn the ways things were going on amongst the senior MCA leaders, former MCA President Ong Ka Ting tried to return but was shown the door of exit, the immediate past President of MCA acted as if he was the ONLY hero over the PKFZ scandals, and in Malaysian History, the very first TUn was indicted in the PKFZ Scandal, leading to perceptions of the public on the dishonest MCA leaders were exposed. Not to mention Chew Mei Fun declared if the current MCA President were to elected, she will quit, and Chew Mei Fun quit! I heard the current MCA Wanita Chief is still not closing rank with MCA President. MCA had shown Malaysians great excitements on the politics, but the facts remained: Will voters be happy with what PR had governed in Penang, Kedah, Selangor and Kelantan? Several by-elections had produced positive results for BN in the most recent 2 by-elections, many had predicted and guessed on the possibility that 13th GE to be held early March next year. If the guess of 13th GE is accurate, then BN coming convention on 5/12/2010 will provide enough signals, personally I doubt this will happen. PKR with Zaid's issue caused some damages but we do not have great hopes on major changes on PKR. The true power still belongs to those rural voters. The competitions are for those rural voters, and as their children were well exposed in the major towns and cities, their children will continue to provide data/information that is not available in the mainstream media. The virtual media had caused greatest surprises to the 12th GE on 8th March, 2008. I obvious excuses or reasons given by PR over many issues were hinged around messes inherited from previous BN state governments, but it is also because of the messes that caused the voters to vote for PR instead of BN. Now PR had tasted power and positions for more than 2 and half years, I believe the voters are tired of listening to the reasons and excuses of what was caused by BN, the needs of voters are REAL and need to be solved. So, unless MCA recognized this and work harder to help the voters so that the voters could appreciate, I as a PJU voter had NOT seen Chew Mei Fun and Victor GU in our ares for more than 2 and half years too. WE will decide and we will not be pleased to be left as it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter Leow for taking time to write your thought.
ReplyDeleteI fully understand what you have said. We will continue to work.
My late eldest brother Mr yew Ting was Batu Division MCA Chairman in 1980's and he vacated his eat to allow Tan Chai Ho to be elevated, and my late brother was serving the public, and he was well respected, though he passed away in 1994 at the young age of 44 years old plus, he was truly the working politicians in the 80's. Ong Tee Keat was just a University Student, 2 years my senior in MU. In 1999, I was delighted that young lady who is only 36 years old, Chew Mei Fun offered herself to serve us as PJU MP, despite Vincent Lim was lucky to have a walk over from Dr Kua before this 1999 November Election, Chew Mei Fun had convinced me that she will be the right MP for us, and she won, and serve very diligently for next 4 years, and soon she was showing her ability, she climbed in her political career, she became the Parliamentary Sectary after victory in 2004, and she became MCA Wanita Chief,,, but sadly she had almost forgotten us who had supported her as she was really busy on the national affairs, and our neighbours had been complaining to me as they assumed that I had good contact with her, I was seeing the so called Political Tsunami, I wrote very aggressive and urgent e mails to Chew Mei Fun, cautioned her that voters are very upset, and realizing she will lose and keep sending her reminders to consider to opt for 'safer seat' she refused, and after her nasty accident in Gambang in December, 2007, she imagined she could be retained, this time by as early as 7 PM on the 8th March 2008 counting centre, she knew she lost terribly. That goes for Lee Hwa Beng, 4 years my senior in TIKL, he was very sore despite I consoled him. Dear Madam, Pride is what I noticed on MCA leaders, and I guess with power, nobody could be as humble as before, all powerful people will exhibit such proudness, and soon, the pride will bring them all down.Being a politician, truly as a good politician like my late eldest brother in no longer available, and I trust to serve and to be sincere in helping the needy people, then you will excel in being a politician, otherwise, your offer to serve is meaningless. I hope the so called transformation is on superficial, but I pray the life long learning project could be revived or else MCA may end up worse than 8th March, 2008 come the 13 th GE. MY two cents worth of views.
