Isma: Is MCA preparing to join PR if BN loses next GE?
Isma deputy president says MCA is desperate for Chinese votes and is using The Star to win back those who support DAP
(Free Malaysia Today) – Keeping a keen eye on the politics of the day is Malay NGO Isma who has predicted that MCA would jump ship in the blink of an eye should the ruling coalition it belongs to bomb at the next general election.
According to “Portal Islam Dan Melayu”, Deputy President of Isma, Aminuddin Yahaya said MCA was already strategising its moves to ditch Barisan Nasional and join forces with Pakatan Rakyat by using its party mouthpiece The Star to attack Malays and in so doing, win back lost Chinese votes.
He was referring to how MCA was using The Star to give greater prominence to outspoken Malays in their columns.
He said, “Not only that, individuals with liberal mindset and critical about Malay NGOs are given prominent columns with lengthy interviews being published, be it a politician, social activist or a corporate figure.”
Saying, “How smart they are,” he explained the sly manner in which The Star was using Malays to criticise other Malays while safeguarding themselves from being accused of making seditious remarks.
He said, “They let the liberal and Islamically ignorant Malay to attack these Malay Muslim NGOs. By doing this it appears that the paper is clean from any seditious element and thus cannot be subject to any legal suit.”
