So many positives from Xi Jinping’s state visit yet opposition chooses to demonise flying of China flags
By Cheah Chor Sooi
IDEOLOGICALLY bankrupt.
That is the accusation being hurled at the opposition coalition.
Why?
When Malaysia is in the global spotlight following President Xi Jinping’s first official visit in 12 years, all the opposition can harp about are China flags lining the streets of Putrajaya.
Instead of focussing on the many pertinent economic issues, the opposition decided to dole out the tired narrative of Malay sovereignty being sold out to Chinese communists.
This was the point being made by pro-Madani digital creator Ikhwan (@JatIkhwan) who observed that all eyes were on China’s next move amid a fractious tariff war with the US yet all the opposition could do was to bark about a non-issue.
Satu dunia ikuti lawatan Xi Jinping ke Malaysia. Sekarang semua orang tengah perhati apa next move China. Sampai ke pembangkang - “kenapa kena kibarkan bendera China?!!!!”
It was highlighted that Malaysia as the current chair of ASEAN had to plot its next move carefully to ensure maximum economic benefits to the rakyat.
To which the poster agreed, arguing that the opposition had plenty of issues to talk about yet chose to grumble about the traffic jams caused by the landmark visit of a leader of a bona fide super power.
The lack of understanding on geo-political and economic affairs among the opposition and its supporters was stunning, summed up another netizen.
One netizen shared comments by opposition supporters who seemed overly enamoured by the presence of China flags. The provocative nature of the comments was obvious, he observed.
More than a few simply pointed out that this was the norm for diplomatic visits. One Putrajaya resident of 25 years highlighted the number of foreign flags that are flying in the area. every time a head of nation visits Malaysia.
Some commenters though argued that it was Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who had used this issue of Chinese control of the economy as a stick to beat the Najib administration when Pakatan Harapan (PH) was in the opposition.
But as pointed out by the poster, these were pertinent issues as opposed to the normal diplomatic practice of flying foreign flags to welcome visiting dignitaries. Do your job by being an effective opposition, he demanded.
Many spelled out the type of fear-mongering that has become synonymous with the current opposition. One further argued that this was only way it could squeeze political mileage from its captive audience, many of whom are said to be of low intellectual capacity.
The message being peddled by the opposition was simple and clear – PMX was selling out Malay birth rights.
This seems to be the level of the opposition that is unable to break free from the shackles of 3R (race, religion and royalty) issues even in in the international context.
The arising question is what would Perikatan Nasional (PN) have done differently if it was in power and had to greet President Xi?
The sarcastic answers below paint the picture of the sorry state of the opposition in the country. – April 17, 2025
The Malaysian need to get used to it and accept the dire straits of the Malaysian economy's strategic situation, with Donald Fuck tearing up all traditional American economic ties.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to bow down and fully embrace the Red Devil.
MCA was founded by Kuomintang sapoters in Bolehland, see even their flag the star is based on the Kuomintang one. So even flying the MCA part of the Bolehland flag is an insult to the Old Bullyland. Their star (flag) only came much much later than Kuomintang’s, in 1949.
ReplyDelete清天白日旗, mfer, where is the star?
DeleteThe sun is a star. My sains teacher tot me.
Deleteooooop… u want to play word trick!
DeleteThe universe encumbered everything, even the stars, blackholes & whatnot.
The best description for that entity is nothingness since everything according to modern science come from a singularity.
Thus, why star, sun farts by u?
Use blank, OK?
MCA whose flag forms the star in the Bolehland flag, was formed by Kuomintang sapoters to counter the komunis MCP, which was sapoted by CCP from Old Bullyland. So even flying the MCA star without the crescent is an insult to BullyXi.
ReplyDeleteMfer, u want to know about that 井蛙 flag?
Delete青天白日旗是辛亥革命时期制定的第一面旗帜，由兴中会会员陆皓东设计。后来由继承兴中会的中国国民党沿用为党旗。旗面作蓝色，以示青天；旗中置一射出叉光的白日图案。“青天白日”是中国国民党党徽。1928年，国民政府将“青天白日满地红旗”作为中华民国国旗。
This isn't for yr know-nothing enlightenment. It's for others who r interested!
Mfer, don't u upstage that western pirate of invade, rob & conquer mentality to judge China.
ReplyDelete'bow down and fully embrace'
If China has ever done that, pommie wouldn't have the first claim for the empire without sunset!
The immutable rule of this world is impermanence.
DeleteBritain was the Great Bully of the 19th Century
USA was the Great Bully of the 20th Century and first few years of the 21st.
China is the Great Bully of the 21st Century.
the tag of bully applies only when that arrogant trace is been displaced openly.
DeleteAs far as China is concerned, tan kuku lab. It might happen but definitely not NOW.
