Press statement by MCA Public Complaints & Services Bureau Chairman Dato’ Jason Teoh Sew Hock


Lim Kit Siang needs to learn what Democracy actually means

1) I refer to Lim Kit Siang's statement dated 20 Sept 2017 whereby he described MCA as a “party without political principals” assuming our statements are contradictory as opposed to what our party President has said.

2) Let me remind Lim Kit Siang what democracy truly is, something his Democratic Action Party does not practise at all.  


3) Democracy means allowing your party leaders to air their thoughts, no matter what they are and even if they go against another leader's statement. That is the freedom that leaders in DAP do not have as everyone has to listen to Lim Kit Siang and his son Lim Guan Eng.

4) This is why Lim Kit Siang was so disturbed that MCA held views about the ban on the “Better Beer Festival”, but we all submit to the fact that the application was denied due to security concerns as security of the people of Malaysia always comes before politics, race and religion.

5) Lim Kit Siang is unable to accept that we had different views because he does not allow that freedom within DAP, so much so that even their previous CEC election was tainted and their leaders are now demanding that the party publishes the full list of 2,576 delegates in newspapers so that the re-election would be transparent.

6) Lim Kit Siang should probably hit the books again and relearn what Democracy truly is before making foolish statements about other politicians.

7) DAP would not understand what taking care of the security of the nation entails. They write their arguments based on theories and fantasies but they themselves do not know what it takes to ensure the whole country is safe.

8) They blame the government for banning the event but they would also blame the government if there was a terror attack during the event. That is what DAP leaders are made of: they are always condemning the BN federal government yet never will be reasonable to circumstances.

9) Their inexperienced statements are just political rhetoric that they will continue their ways no matter what happens. Voters will recognise this and their empowerment of PAS in the past, and their current empowerment of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad as the same wheel turning and the same result occurring, the Malaysian Chinese will be the biggest losers if they fall for the same trick again.
