The new MCA 2.0

Now MCA feels like a jubilant divorcee who has just gotten an overdomineering spouse (male or female? wakakaka) off its back. I'll be kind and use the neutral gender 'it' for MCA.

'It' now feels a new surge of adrenalin, besides feeling no longer constrained by an erstwhile fraternal obligation cum responsibility to remain calm and tolerant regardless of what the erstwhile 'spouse' said, even against its interests and Chinese Malaysian constituency.

Yeah, that 'spouse' of yonder years, Perikatan ('P'ang Chun' in Penang Hokkien or 'sailing boat') has sunk or sailed elsewhere.

So, exercising its new found freedom (particularly of political speech, wakakaka), it suddenly senses and also hears that its once-arrogant and fearless arch-foe DAP now fears it, even with the Rocket Party accusing it of being a prong of a pincer strategy to 'scorched-earth' Pakatan's (Chinese side of its) ass, wakakaka.

DAP worries the newly divorced MCA or MCA 2.0 will now reclaim and re-establish its raison d'être, or its purpose for existence, namely, representing the interests of Chinese Malaysians, thus becoming more (vocally) 'Chinese' than the DAP.

You could say the DAP also worries the newly divorced MIC will also do what the new MCA is going to do.

But it's sweet justice that the DAP who used to lambast MCA as a weak spouse to UMNO but who (DAP) has since 09 March 2018 morphed into a version of the old MCA, now realises what the old MCA had endured when in Perikatan and BN, namely, a feeling of balls-tightened constrain due to a fraternal obligation cum responsibility to remain calm and tolerant regardless of what the dominant 'spouse', namely PRIBUMI, said or says or does.

boe-hood lah 

Yes, suck on that DAP, but blame Lim KS for your current kuai-kuai silence; you're now even worse than a mute stung badly by tebuans, wakakaka.

Pakatan strategists and sympathisers are all working out their worried guts (and knickers too, which have been all twisted and knotted up as well) ever since PAS decided to collaborate with UMNO henceforth.

PAS also wickedly threw in a spanner as well by saying it (PAS) will also work with Mahathir though not with Pribumi, wakakaka. That's what the air force would call ECM or electronic countermeasure (though in the mentioned PAS case, in a political sense), to disrupt, confuse and mis-dis-inform the Pakatan (political) radar, wakakaka again.

Nonetheless, Liew Chin Tong (DAP's Chief Strategist) fears that while the new PAS-UMNO coalition attacks via the ketuanan front, the MCA-MIC partnership will likely attack on the 'nons' front.

With the two new coalitions in a pincer manoeuvre against Pakatan, the twin attacks will render any Pakatan attempt at mollification or/and appeasment of any ethnic group virtually impossible for the component parties of Pakatan, but particularly for the DAP.

That's because Pribumi and PKR will likely give the 'eff' to DAP's interests.

And thus, the likely outcome of the Pakatan response to such a pincer attack may be disparate responses by each individual Pakatan component, with resultant disharmonious consequences.

But wasn't that what the DAP did to MCA (and also MIC)?

And isn't it just sweet justice to taste one's (DAP's) own medicine? Poor Lim KS must be terribly worried sick by now. Wonder whether he will also blame Najib for this new predicament for the DAP? Wakakaka.
