Today, my colleague , HK drop into my office. He was outside my room talking to my staff and he suddenly came into my office. He sat there and told me that he went for the book signing ceremony the night before. The author was our mutual friend, Dato Lee Hwa Beng. He was my class mate at TARC.
HK told me that the book was about the Port Klang Case which involved the former MCA top guns. The case is still in court and it is not convinent to talk about the case. However, he believe that it was a total scam involving the tax payers' money. HK was a MCA central delegate and he seems to be supporting the opposition. He was disgusted with the MCA leadership which he told me is controlled by a few old man who is fighting to hold on to their post. It is a sad case as the Association is mend to represent the Chinese in the Government.
The Port Klang fiasco involved huge sum of money which was unaccounted for and two former MCA leaders were charged for misleading the cabinet but not for any criminal offence. It is something which is amusing and confused.
The current political scene is confused because the Bersih cried for clean election while the Government is saying there is nothing wrong with the country or the system. The conflict and difference in opinion is hitting the news everyday through news paper or the TV. Such pick up in the activities mend that the general elections is near. There is a lot mud slinging now and it is going to be more muddy down the road as the election date gets nearer.
In Politics, there is no permanent enemy as HK has hopped from Gerekan to MCA and back to Gerakan and then back to MCA. There are many of these political frogs and it is a normal trend now. Actually, there is nothing wrong. If the party have turned bad , we moved away and if it is reformed, then we move back and vice versa. The perception of these activities is not good but in reality, you have all the choice to choose whichever party , you think it is good.
He shoke his head in disgust as he continued to run down the current politicians who have been opportunist talking about bring back the free port status to Penang or the outer ring road which have been laying idle for 4 years and such topic is getting hot now with lots of broken promises in the past. It is surpringly that there is nothing embarassing about hopping as long it is your choice and you think it is right.
End of the day, we are answering to GOD or our creator for all the things we have done. The choice is ours but the judgement is by others and GOD.
Namaste.
