Troublesome Chinese in elections

Star Online - Azmin: Kuok has contributed to Malaysia's development (extracts):

now where are those Tionghua sweeties and ah hneah and ah tee?

PETALING JAYA: Tycoon Robert Kuok has contributed to the development of Malaysia, said Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.

"We all belong to the same family. Do not be angry at Robert Kuok. He has contributed to the nation's economy and the Tiong Hua clan as well," he was reported saying in a news portal on Sunday (March 4).

dei Azmin, why should/would anyone be angry at me?

Azmin added that Malaysia would not have been as prosperous without the Chinese community, including Kuok.

"When we are successful, we do not forget the contributions by Malaysians, including the Malays, Indians, Chinese, Ibans and Kadazans. They are also Malaysians who need respect and their rights to be protected," he said.

I wonder why he described Chinese as the Tiong Hua clan? That terminology is Indonesian - just call us Cina lah.

Now, minus his long hope-for alliance with PAS (he still looks down on Amanah, wakakaka), Azmin has reluctantly but necessarily switch his wooing to that of the bloody Chinese community in Selangor.

Last week Sin Chew reported:

"There seems to be a missing link in the country's Chinese language education because after a child graduates from SJKC, he might be forced to attend a national secondary school or go overseas due to lack of independent high schools in the country.

Education for all Malaysians

"The Selangor government strives to identify high-demand strategic locations to build independent high schools for the convenience of students."

Azmin said during an interview with Sin Chew Daily that while the state government is prepared to provide land for school construction, approval must still be sought from the education department.

"Many independent high schools in Klang Valley are facing the congestion issue. They need more spacious learning environment.

"And we are looking into this now," he said.

However the Star Online also reported:

But MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has described the Selangor government’s move to identify suitable land for Chinese schools as a “joke” and an “empty promise”.

Liow said under PKR leadership, Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali should have done what it wanted to do now after winning Selangor 10 years ago.

“It’s already been 10 years and a 1.2ha plot of land was only recently approved by Selangor for a Chinese primary school in Pandan, Ampang.

“We are still waiting for many more land applications for Chinese schools in Selangor which have yet to be approved.

“This is all just talk for political mileage,” he said after launching the community bulletin Sungai Besar Kini during a luncheon in Sekinchan here yesterday.

Liow said as the Mentri Besar, Azmin had the power to build more schools.

“If he really had the heart to do so, his party would have done this a long time ago.

“It’s a joke and an empty promise that he wants to look into identifying suitable land now,” he said.

Liow is actually quite correct in that Azmin could have built more Chinese schools if he was sincere. But alas, building Chinese schools would be last on MB Azmin's mind, until PAS abandoned him and he now needs Chinese votes.

While Azmin Ali struggles with his wooing of the Chinese in Selangor, and Liow negating everything Azmin has said about providing land in the state for building Chinese schools, our UMNO Chief Head Kicker, Minister Nazri (wakakaka) has a strategy to win Chinese votes in his own constituency of Padang Rengas.

Nazri's secret weapon to woo the Chinese (more elderly ones of course, wakakaka) is the 3-year old Aunties' Club in Paang Rengas. For more, read here.

Padang Rengas has nearly 30,000 registered voters, with its voters composition at 75% Malay, Chinese (15%) and Indian (10%). Thus every vote, especially those of Chinese and Indians is vital to Nazri. That the Aunties' Club is already 3 years old must have meant that Nazri has planned ahead, wakakaka.

Aiyoyo, the Chinese are really troublesome King-Makers, wakakaka, though not be their own design but by Mahathir-UMNO's design.

They have been Mahathir's most hated community in Malaysia, yet whose votes are much lusted by the Old Man (especially after 1969). They destroyed him in Kota Selatan Selatan in 1969 yet saved his ass thirty years later, in 1999.
