 Former MCA vice-president Ti Lian Ker says DAP has time and again flip-flopped on matters of principle.
Former MCA vice-president Ti Lian Ker said DAP had “sung different tunes” at different times to suit their interests. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: The inconsistency shown by DAP on matters of principle is among the main reasons that MCA would never join forces with their bitter rivals, according to former vice-president Ti Lian Ker
He said DAP had “sung different tunes” at different times to suit their interests.
Among them was the time the party decided to join forces with Dr Mahathir Mohamad for the 2018 general election, despite having been fiercely critical of the former prime minister during his 22 years in office.
Similarly, DAP was previously full of praise for PAS, when the two parties were allies in the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, but were now demonising the Islamic party after going their separate ways.
Ti said that DAP is now “bending over backwards” to accommodate Umno when it previously vilified the party.
“DAP seems to be abandoning their principles,” Ti said. “Unlike DAP, MCA will never shift the goalposts. It is this irreconcilable difference that will prevent the two parties from forming an alliance, what more merging, ” he told FMT.
A suggestion that MCA should merge with DAP was raised by Kampar MP Chong Zhemin, but the idea was swiftly dismissed by DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook who said the suggestion was a personal view and not that of the party.
Loke had also said he didn’t see the possibility of a merger happening.
MCA Youth information chief Neow Choo Seong later said the two parties were like oil and water, fundamentally different in ideology and political approach. “I don’t agree with Loke on many things, but I concur that such a merger is impossible.” - FMT
