The decisive battle of MCA President Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat and suspended Deputy President Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek will be held on 10 Oct.
It is pointless to say anything now. Only the central delegates' votes will determine the fate of Ong and Chua, as well as the future of MCA.
The option of reconciliation has been denied during the muckraking party struggle.
The Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) has nothing to do with national or racial issues. Instead, it is a personal fight. The central delegates need only to decide whether to keep Ong or Dr Chua, or sack them both. It is just as simple as that.
To put it simple, a great man cannot brook a rival.
The central delegates must make a decision.
After touring around the countries these days, Ong has lost weight while Dr Chua has turned gaunt.
"It is definitely possible for them to win the party election, but lose the people's support."
It is a political mobilisation that involves all the party members. Inevitably, the two confronting factions criticise and muckrake each other.
Sadly, instead of revealing the truth, they have shown us the terror of political cannibalism through mutual destruction and the life or death battle.
Will the battle really end on 10 Oct?
For MCA, its future is unclear regardless who will be the winner and who is the loser.
Wise MCA central delegates should understand that the party's internal contradictions will not automatically disappear after the EGM. Instead, it may be the start of another unpredictable disaster. If that is the case, the future of MCA will be in greater danger.
In fact, the future of MCA relies on the Chinese community. If the Chinese community no longer trusts MCA, it will be all in vain no matter how sincere Ong pledges or how impassioned Dr Chua is.
The fact is, readers have been tired of the overwhelming news coverage of the party crisis. Some even see is as a farce.
It is definitely possible for them to win the party election, but lose the people's support.
Therefore, it is going to be a more difficult task to restore the people's support compared to reintegrate the party after the EGM.
Of course, nothing is impossible for politics. Another confrontation expected after the EGM may dramatically end up in reconciliation.
It is not impossible to see the confronting factions to put on a smile and temporarily put aside their grudges for their own political needs and the next general elections (the best rhetoric will be for the future of the party, as well as the Chinese community).
After all, they need to know when to advance and when to retreat, as well as when to compromise in order to go further.
In fact, most of the politicians are not lack of strategy. Instead, they are lack of tolerance and the ability to have self-reflection. They always think that they can bring unity to a party, society and country as long as they have eradicated dissidents. In fact, the more they wish to unite “all of the same colour” and intolerable with the slightest differences, the more likely they will create split.
If they are not able to tolerate, they will keep on fighting with each other! (By LIM MUN FAH/ Translated by SOONG PHUI JEE/ Sin Chew Daily)
