Bar Council EGM at MCA HQ
Today, ALL the Bar members who attended the Bar Council EGM unanimously adopted the resolutions by the Malaysian Bar, with No votes against and No abstentions. Among these resolutions are the repeal of the ISA and the immediate and unconditional release of Raja Petra. The Bar Council invited 3 special speakers: Pushpa - the wife of ISA detainee Manoharan, Laila - the wife of another ISA detainee and the just released Teresa Kok.
This indicates that (ironically, given the Ahmad debacle) one thing is clear: those in power abusing the ISA do not discriminate based on race.
Incidentally, we, the MCA7, call upon Ong Ka Ting to clarify his pledge to "champion Chinese causes" in order to win back the support of the Chinese, as reported in Malaysiakini. How does he propose to do so?
On our part, we say that the only way for the MCA to win back the support of the Chinese is to to champion Malaysian causes and not the BN way of each component party championing its own race.

I agree. Ka Ting needs to explain that part of his statement. By that statement alone the current MCA President confirms that the party has not understood the March 8 General Elections. He also confirms that the rakyat was correct to reject them in favour of multiracialism.
Further, by that statement and, in light of MCA's recent statement on the ISA, is Ka Ting saying that MCA will only plead for the release of ISA detainees of Chinese ethnicity only? That is the type of "racialism" that all Malaysians should reject.
