But, the secretary-general obviously fails to have a good sense of time, and has forced it in the slot for a lengthy drama.
That has made things real bad. From late August till now, the drama has run for almost an entire month. Whatever content that needs to be played would have been done by now!
However, the show has to keep running until Oct 10 and there's no way we can put an abrupt end to it anytime sooner.
As such, the storyline has to be dragged on and the plot keeps being lengthened.
In the end, the storyline gets duller and duller with no new developments in sight. The actors have become exhausted while most of the supporting actors have quietly vanished.
The audience is getting bored, waiting only for the grand finale, but that wouldn't come any sooner than two weeks later!
The media are the worst hit. Something must be fed into newspaper pages, or the slots dedicated to it in TV news. They must come out with something about the MCA crisis.
Perhaps the producer could feel the dilemma we are in, or perhaps they just want to perk up the box office, they have come up with yet another impromptu plot: the re-emergence of the sex VCDs.
Even if the VCDs are to be distributed freely, due to its poor lighting effects, monotonous cinematographic skills and obscure identities of the lead roles — with only dark shadows wriggling about on the screen — no one can tell for sure whether it is X-rated porn or an eerie ghost movie.
While the producer may have put in tremendous effort, the storyline is too antiquated while the content simply too rotten. In the end, we get more boos than wows from the audience.
Like in the movie “Internal Affairs”, what the audience really wants to see is who between Tony Leung and Andy Lau will eventually survive or get killed. Imagine if the producer has wanted to drag on with the drama, dumping in a few more unrelated characters and plots instead of unveiling the mystery, you can imagine how frustrated the audience will get.
This is what we mean by a bad movie that fails to draw the crowd yet has to be dragged on and on. How irritating!
If a movie is supposed to be only 120 minutes long, we shouldn't stretch it to 180 minutes. No one will be amused by it for sure.
To be frank, the longer the drama gets dragged along, the deeper will MCA's image plummet.
I'm afraid that is the actual finale.
SEPT 26 — We shouldn't point our finger at Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat or Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek.
If we really must put the blame on someone, let it be the MCA secretary-general.
The battle between MCA's top duo is a mini soap opera that shouldn't last anything more than two weeks, judging from the plot development.
