Dong Zong's Story
There have been fist fights, frozen bank accounts, heart attacks, lawsuits and, most embarrassing of all, a terrible loss of face for the Chinese community.
That is the situation in Dong Zong, the Chinese education body that was once the most influential opinion-shaper among the Chinese-educated.
It used to be so powerful that it could bring down Chinese politicians and even ministers. Today it is the laughing stock as the feud between two factions grows more acrimonious.
The Chinese vernacular press devote up to a full page of news daily to the never-ending hostilities. But the power struggle has become so complicated and dragged on for so long that many people have lost hope that there will ever be a solution.
To put it simply, the dispute is between the group aligned to Dong Zong’s most controversial president Yap Sin Tian and the reformist group aligned to the secretary-general Poh Chin Chuan. They are fighting for control of Dong Zong with both sides claiming to have the Chinese interest at heart.
There was supposed to have been light at the end of the tunnel last week when the reformists managed to convene a meeting to elect a new central executive committee (CEC) as ordered by the High Court.
Yap claimed he had a heart attack and did not attend the meeting which was preceded by a free-for-all between supporters of the two camps. Despite the fracas, a new president Tan Kai Kim was elected to replace Yap.

董总事件杂音多,不如来一场辩论
新闻稿 - 请即刻发布(23-06-2015)
社会爱心基金会主席丹斯里拿督彭茂燊太平局绅认为
董总事件杂音多,不如来一场辩论
近日来,阅读报章刊登的董总纠纷新闻,发现双方都各说各的,谁说得有理谁说得不合情理,再加上媒体有时刻意遗漏一些新闻,让人一时无法判断谁是谁非。对于一个热爱华文教育的社会人士,我也期望这事件早日了结。为了让广大的华社得个真相,我建议,不如来一场现场辩论!
我认为现场辩论将可以让大众近距离检验双方的论据。而且,现场辩论也让双方可以尽量提出最有力的证据,到底谁是真谁是假的,就交由现场观众去评论。再说,我也相信许多公众人士也有许多疑问想问他们,这就他们寻找答案的好机会。
现场辩论有别于记者招待会或发表新闻稿,辩论者所发表的绝对是‘原汁原味’,因为,不必面对编辑的删剪或删改。即使在新闻发布会上长篇大论,但记者和编辑可以选择他们想写或刊登的部分,甚至完全不刊登,因此,有些重点和看法就因而被埋没了,所以,从报章上获取的资讯并非事件的全部,而且还有些偏见。
要举办一场辩论,当然需要双方的同意。如果双方都同意,我可以为他们设这个平台,让他们可以如广东所说的:三口六面讲清楚!我相信,通过这场辩论,人们可以了解参与者的水平、态度和人格特质,而不仅仅所谓真理越辩越清楚,或只是耍嘴皮斗嘴斗输赢而已,个人素质也将一览无遗。
我们也可以向名电视主持发出邀请,由他们主持这场辩论会。我发觉一些素质不赖的主持人可以担当此次的任务的人选,包括第二电视的潘俐妤、徐晓芳,寰宇电视新闻报报看节目主持颜江瀚、关萃汶等人。 事情如此拖下去也不是办法,双方就来一场辩论吧,把自己摊在阳光下让人检验!

Nazri’s ‘hooligan-style’ remark to TMJ uncalled for
PETALING JAYA: The “hooligan-style” response by Nazri Aziz to Tunku Mahkota of Johor recently has disturbed and bewildered the chairman of the Social Care Foundation, who has called on the minister to repent and apologise immediately for it.
In a statement today, Robert Phang, who is also the Justice of the Peace, said that Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim was merely issuing a gentle reminder about the government having to be responsible to the people and that Nazri’s remark was totally uncalled for.
“It is very clear HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail has merely spoken out of concern for the Rakyat,” Phang said, adding that the reply the minister of tourism and culture gave was both “uncivilised and insolent”.
“Enough is enough. As an elected MP (Padang Rengas), I pray to God that Nazri wakes up and has the guts to sincerely apologise to HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail.”
Phang also took issue with Nazri’s use of the word “whack” in his reply to Tunku Ismail and said, “I am bewildered by your (Nazri) explanation that the word ‘whack’ was used to protect the monarchy … you are a seasoned politician and a lawyer.
“You could have used a better term or statement, more so against the monarchy. Our Malaysian culture does not allow for such an insolent statement.”
He also told Nazri to “wake up” and “repent” for the harsh statement to prove he was a civilised and cultured elected leader, and added that his harsh words were giving a bad example to the younger generation.
He also heaped praises on Tunku Ismail for defending his right to comment on national issues and for looking out for the people, adding “For this, my humble salutations to you”.
On June 5, Tunku Ismail posted a Facebook message ridiculing Prime Minister Najib Razak on his non-appearance at the Nothing2Hide forum saying that was the reason why the people no longer had trust and confidence in him.
Nazri retaliated by telling the Tunku Ismail to stay out of politics, failing which he would be subject to the same rule and be “whacked”.

'If prince gets whacked, what more rakyat?'
Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim voiced a gentle reminder for those in power, and this earned him a "hooligan-like" response from a minister.
This led former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) advisory panel member Robert Phang to wonder what the rakyat would encounter for questioning ruling politicians.
He also called on Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz (photo) to apologise to the prince if the latter considered himself a "cultured and civilised" member of Parliament.
"It is very clear that Tunku Ismail merely voiced his opinion that those who have been entrusted with the responsibility (to lead) must not blame the people for losing trust and confidence in them, but to think why the people no longer have confidence and trust in them.
"The rakyat totally agree with such a gentle reminder (but) it was met with a hooligan-style response from a minister.
"If Tunku Ismail received such a reply, then what chances do we, the rakyat, have?" he asked in a statement.
More must come forward
Phang (photo), who is chairperson of the Social Care Foundation, commended Tunku Ismail for making a stand.
"Malaysians more so Johoreans must come forward to remind the leaders of the country that they have a responsibility to serve the people respectfully.
"It is clear Tunku Ismail has merely spoken out of concern for the rakyat," he added.
Phang, who said he was "disturbed" by Nazri's reaction, accused the minister of setting a bad example for the younger generation.
"Enough is enough. As an elected MP, I pray Nazri wakes up and has the guts to sincerely apologise to Tunku Ismail," he added.
Phang was also "bewildered" by the minister's explanation that his remarks were intended to protect the royal institution.
"You (Nazri) could have used a better term, more so against the monarchy. Our Malaysian culture does not allow such insolent statements," he said.
Nazri had warned Tunku Ismail that he risked being "whacked" if the prince meddled in politics.
This was after the prince mocked Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for failing to turn up at the 'Nothing to Hide' dialogue.
Nazri has refused to back down, saying he was merely defending the prime minister and reminded the prince, that unlike him, Tunku Ismail was not elected by the people.

严厉谴责董总伪领导的暴行
董总纠纷发展至今时今日,广大大华社还看不清楚董总反叛派的真面目吗?他们的唯一目的就是竭尽所能夺取董总的领导权,维护华文教育只不过是他们的烟幕,背后的目的和用心更令人担忧。对我而言,董总这场纠纷的幕后黑手才是令人不寒而栗!
6月14日董总的一场流会会议,已让反叛派露出他们狰狞的面目,令他们老羞成怒,并且睁眼说瞎话,把‘拽人倒地’说成‘拉人一把’,如此‘精辟’的谎言都说得出口,这简直是有愧于中华教育‘德、智、体、群、美’五育中排名第一的‘德’!如此的人还有资格谈教育吗?一个无法教育自己,哪还有资格谈如何去教育别人呢?然而,我始终有理由相信,他们背后黑手比他们更可怕,而且也是今次董总纠纷的始作俑者,并为反叛派献计、献策、献谋略,包括提供法律咨询。
令人意想不到的是,6月14日董总的一场流会会议竟然意外地将他们逼入了狗急跳墙的窘境,因此,他们在情急之下,不得不用其极,包括不理智的肢体暴行,将邹寿汉署理主席拽到在地上,这更凸显反叛派已越来越无法面对华社,他们无法再等待,就如九尾狐一样,狐尾就要露出来了,因此急于夺权,这就是‘路遥知马力,日久见人心’的最好写照。是否是幕后黑手给他们的期限要到了呢?我就不得而知了。
对于6月14日的会议现场肢体暴行,我有许多疑问,如果这不是蓄意的而是一场意外,那么,为何在场者要喊‘我们没看到’呢?而且为何还要喊‘别装死’来助兴呢?他们近日的解释正反映出他们努力地掩饰。再说,反叛派也霸占了办公室,他们可掌握了闭路电视片段,如果情况不是如邹寿汉先生所说的一样,他们大可公布有关录影以表清白,但4天过去了,他们还未公布录像,难道他们要‘含冤莫白’吗?
针对这一点,我建议邹寿汉先生向警方报案,因为他们如此的肢体暴行已足以让他们上法庭面对刑事控状,而在会议室内呐喊喝彩者也可是暴行唆使者。因此,有必要让警方查个水落石出。
我也在此衷心希望,甘愿沦为幕后黑手棋子的董总同人,能够及时回头,别再搞‘汪精卫式’的伪董总领导,以免祸害董总、独中和华文教育,成为华社遗臭万年的罪人。
YB NAZRI MUST APOLOGIZE TO THE MONARCHY IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A CULTURED AND CIVILISED MP
“I think he should keep out of politics, otherwise he may be subjected to the same rule. We will whack him”, quote –

2015.
PRESS
STATEMENT BY:-
TAN
SRI DATUK ROBERT PHANG MIOW SIN
JUSTICE
OF THE PEACE.
CHAIRMAN
– SOCIAL CARE FOUNDATION
HRH
Brigadier General Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has defended his right to comment
on national issues despite criticisms from Culture and Tourism Minister Nazri
Abdul Aziz.
It
is very clear that HRH Crown Prince Tunku Ismail has merely voiced his opinion
and reminder that the people who have been entrusted with the responsibility to
not blame the people for losing trust and confidence in them, but think of why
the people no longer have the confidence and trust in them” quote.
The
Rakyat totally agree such a gentle reminder from HRH Brigadier General Tunku
Ismail has been met with a hooligan style response from a minister. It
is also true if HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail got such a reply, than what
chances do we, the Rakyat have. I salute you, HRH Brigadier General
Tunku Ismail that you have taken the initiative and concern of voicing out such
an uncultured act by an elected minister. I am sure, that many
Malaysian more so Johoreans must come forward to remind the leaders of the
country that they have a responsibility to serve our people respectfully.
It
is very clear HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail has merely spoken out of
concern for the Rakyat. It is also true that the Crown Prince life
has been completed with a good life but here, HRH Brigadier General Tunku
Ismail choose to intervene with the Rakyat’s problems. For this, my
humble salutations to you, HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail. I am also very
much disturbed by Nazri’s uncultured statement which tantamount to be
uncivilized and insolent to HRH Brigadier General Tunku Ismail which has
triggered a very bad example for our younger generation to follow.
Enough
is enough. As an elected MP, I pray to God that Nazri must wake up
and have the gut to sincerely apologize to HRH Brigadier General Tunku
Ismail. It is never a shame to do so where there is no reason for
Nazri to attack the monarchy. Wake up Nazri and please repent for
the uncalled statement. Show that you are a cultured and civilized
MP otherwise the Rakyat will know what kind of person you are and please show a
good example as an elected leader for the future generation.
I
am bewildered by your explanation that the word “whack” remark is to protect
the monarchy. Surely but truly, you are a seasoned politician and a
lawyer. You could have used a better term or statement, more so
against the monarchy. Our Malaysian culture does not allow such an
insolent statement.
Over
to you, YB Nazri.
“HUMBLENESS IS GOOD VIRTUE, ARROGANCE SHALL
FALL, THE MEEK WILL RULE THE WORLD”.
Tan Sri Datuk Robert Phang
Justice of the Peace.
