With the news of the announcement that the Selangor MCA division’s decision to resign from all state level positions, MCA’s strategy as the opposition in the state government clearly comes down to basically sitting back and letting things deteriorate.
As seen time and again the BN’s component parties have always required their members to tow the party line – full stop! In the current view of being the opposition this time around in Selangor, MCA has clearly forgotten that win or lose they are still the representatives of the people and communities they were elected to represent.
Isn’t there some way that these MCA councilors might possibly be able to work hand in hand with the new state government for the betterment of the people?
Unfortunately it would seem that line of thought is taboo and the answer is no dice!
In my opinion MCA’s move to resign from all their various post in the state government machineries can be summarised as their political strategy in making the next 5 years of the new Selangor state government an uphill battle. Basically their attitude smacks of washing their hand clean of responsibility to the people in lieu of their recent losses!
This makes one wonder if serving the people was ever the foremost in MCA’s mandate. However as a consolation, in the game of politics things are never that easy nor clear cut to begin with.
Personally, my thoughts are that MCA should seriously wake up from their outdated practices and look into revamping their political line of thought into one that’s a more Bipartisanship.
Show they people that you can still serve them in any capacity – be it as state leaders or even as opposition leaders!
