BN should avoid contesting in Kajang | Free Malaysia Today
Najib and his Umno election team messed up and destroyed BN’s chances of winning Selangor in GE13.
They screwed up the allocation of seats nationwide to his BN partners, the MCA, MIC and Gerakan.
In Selangor in particular, Najib andhis political bigwigs made the greatest damage to BN by giving away 12 of the 22 Parliamentary seats to MCA and MIC,leaving the remaining 10 to Umno.
The Chinese and Indian politicians and their members, despite being offered everything by Najib that they asked for could not deliver.
As such, the state seats within Selangor became a foregone conclusion. MCA and MIC should be
asked to wake up.
It is astonishing to learn that the Kajang by-election was a result Lee Chin Cheh’s resignation after having won the seat for just eight (8) months. His move paved the way for Anwar Ibrahim to contest there.
Everyone knows that Anwar is a national level leader and his ultimate goal is Putrajaya. Hence, it is rather confusing that he has decided take part in this by-election.

KAJANG BY-ELECTION: Wee Ka Siong a potential candidate
IT is acknowledged that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will represent Pakatan in the Kajang by-election. As he is a leader of national level, it will be difficult for MCA to field a candidate to challenge him.
Who will be the most appropriate MCA leader?
From feedback gathered from Chinese communities, it is a choice between Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun and Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, the MCA deputy president and MP for Ayer Hitam.
On record, Lim Kit Siang had gone to Johor to challenge the former menteri besar of Johor and won. Also on record, former MCA president Datuk Lee San Choon had defeated the former DAP president Dr Dr Chen Man Hin in Negri Sembilan.
Therefore, the Chinese communities feel the most suitable candidate to participate in the coming by-election is none other than Wee. He is considered a heavyweight and national leader for MCA.
When he was with the government, Wee helped to rebuild the Chinese primary school in Kajang. Surely but truly, he will stand a better chance to win over the residents of Kajang.
He has proven positively that he has contributed towards Chinese education.
All he needs to do is to secure more Chinese voters to support him plus pro-Umno Malay voters should give him the edge against Anwar.
Under these circumstances, Wee should offer himself to face Anwar's challenge.
If he does not come forward, it will be a great insult to MCA and Wee will only be known as a leader of "no action, but talk only".
This is a golden opportunity for Wee to prove that he is capable of leading the Chinese community. We hope he will not easily forsake it.

Ka Siong calon paling sesuai lawan Anwar?
KUALA LUMPUR 10 Feb. - Timbalan Presiden MCA, Datuk Dr. Wee Ka Siong seharusnya
menawarkan diri sebagai calon Barisan Nasional (BN) pada Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Kajang kerana beliau adalah pemimpin 'paling sesuai' untuk mencabar Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim di kerusi berkenaan.
Aktivis sosial, Tan Sri Robert Phang berkata, Ka Siong boleh dianggap sebagai calon heavyweight dan seorang pemimpin MCA Pusat yang pernah membantu membina semula sebuah sekolah jenis kebangsaan Cina di Kajang semasa berkhidmat dalam kerajaan.
"Sesungguhnya beliau mempunyai peluang lebih baik untuk menang," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.
Kerusi DUN Kajang kosong selepas penyandangnya, Lee Chin Cheh daripada Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) meletak jawatan pada 27 Januari lalu bagi memberi laluan kepada Anwar untuk bertanding.
Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) menetapkan hari penamaan calon PRK DUN Kajang pada 11 Mac diikuti dengan hari pengundian 23 Mac ini.
Dua nama yang disebut-sebut disenarai pendek oleh MCA untuk dipertimbangkan BN sebagai calon parti itu ialah Naib Presiden MCA, Datuk Chew Mei Fun dan Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda MCA, Chong Sin Woon.
Phang berkata, Ka Siong telah membuktikan sumbangannya terhadap pendidikan masyarakat Cina dan bekas Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran itu hanya perlu meraih sokongan lebih ramai pengundi kaum berkenaan dalam PRK tersebut.

‘Wee Ka Siong should take on Anwar’
PETALING JAYA: MCA Deputy President Wee Ka Siong should offer himself up as BN’s candidate for the Kajang state seat, as he is the “most suitable” leader to challenge Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim in the March 23 polls, social activist and philanthropist Robert Phang said.
“[Wee] is considered a heavy weight and national leader for MCA. When he was with the government, Wee had assisted to rebuild the Chinese Primary School in Kajang.
“Surely but truly, he will stand a better chance to win from the residents in Kajang,” the Social Care Foundation Chairman said in a statement today.
As Wee had proven his contributions towards Chinese education, Phang said the former deputy education minister only needed to secure more Chinese voters to support him.
Phang said that factor, coupled with the votebank of “Umno hardcore Malay”, would give Wee the upper hand over Anwar.
“Under these circumstances, Datuk Wee Ka Siong should offer himself to face Datuk Anwar Ibrahim’s challenge.
“If he does not come forward to this direction, it will be a great insult to MCA and Datuk Wee Ka Siong will only reflect as ‘no action but talk only leader’,” said Phang.
