KUALA LUMPUR, SUN:

MCA vice-president Datuk Ong Tee Keat today challenged DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang to prove his allegation that police reports lodged by members of an MCA division in Selangor had led to the detention of DAP’s Seputeh MP Teresa Kok under the Internal Security Act (ISA).

“After Lim Kit Siang’s allegation a few days ago, we conducted investigations and found the allegation to be untrue. I challenge him to show proof that MCA asked its members to lodge police reports against Teresa Kok. This is totally untrue.

“If he can’t show proof, then he should apologise, not only to the MCA but also to the people and the Chinese community,” Ong told reporters after the opening of the Selangor MCA Convention by party president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, at the party headquarters here today.

Tee Keat, who is contesting the MCA presidency next month, said Lim’s failure to show proof or apologise would result in MCA initiating further action against the senior opposition party leader.

Asked on the nature of the action, he said: “We will decide on it when we cross the bridge.”

Tee Keat said Lim’s allegation was irresponsible and was intended to create confusion not only among the Chinese community but also Malaysians at large over MCA’s stand on the ISA.

“We have all along said that the ISA needs a comprehensive review. We have talked about it in the Cabinet and the Barisan Nasional supreme council (meetings). And we are not hoping for the DAP to be thankful for that.

“We need to expose the kind of politics the DAP plays. We are giving them a reasonable time-frame to furnish proof, failing which Lim Kit Siang should apologise,” said Tee Keat, who is also the transport minister.

Teresa Kok was detained on Sept 12 under the ISA and released last Friday.

On another note, Tee Keat, who is also Selangor MCA chief, said that since the state was now in the hands of the opposition, the Selangor MCA must re-orientate its position to play the role of an effective watchdog on the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government.

“In this respect, the inculcation of public awareness on issues through political education is of utmost importance. MCA, being one of the mainstream parties, should in no way deviate from our core concerns of politics that is deemed to have influenced all aspects of life of our entire populace,” he added.

He said that as the opposition in Selangor, MCA’s focus was on serving and engaging the multi-racial community “before we can effectively come out from the doldrums of mono-ethnic polity”. He said the party was now facing an unprecedented acid test, especially after the debacle it suffered in the March 8 general election, and it was important that MCA stayed united.

“There is no room for discord and disunity. But we should allow sufficient latitude for healthy competition and the flourishing of diverse views in the name of democracy,” added Tee Keat.

This time I support Genius Ong Tee Keat move as the accusation from Lim Kit Siang (DAP) is a very serious one. Not only Lim Kit Siang trying to damage a rival political party (if the accusation found untruth), he also put the controversy person who make the police report in life danger.

The person who said making police report about the petition from Teresa Kok (Which Teresa Kok have denied it)and prompt police to use ISA arrest teresa kok is a Chinese Man.

I wish not to elaborate more about the person but do some Google searching or surf some Sri serdang, puchong or Kinrara web, you will see the person is quiet frequent appear with a former assemblyman. Currently he is said working as Special assistant to a BN assemblyman for Chinese affairs.

1. Because the person is always associated with Former Mca assemblyman, doesn't mean he must be a MCA member. Same apply to those who support and working together with DAP not necessary is DAP members.

I have been joining and working together with MCA for some of its programs as committee member continuously until today. But the fact is I'm not a MCA member.

2.The person is really in life danger if Lim kit siang continuously bring up the issues as i have went through some comments on blogs or website...most of the people are angry coz he is a chinese and labelled as "Running dog" or Traitors to chinese community.

Do we want to see another person life suffer in return of Teresa Kok release? How many people we want to drag on? Stop the game as Theresa Kok have released and please concentrate on suing the police, minister or government!
