《马华党选面面看》
自从上届马华党选黄家定开启了让大家自由公开竞选的文化后，马华的党选少了烟火味，反而增加了几许的嘉年华会气氛．本届党选翁诗杰标榜没有派别只有团队，他的拉票行程欢迎各路英雄自由参与，于是乎管他ABCD队，只要有团结宴,有拉票聚会，大家都可以出席，尽管知道 ‘道不同不相为谋’，也许私底下还会窃窃私语，暗自拉帮结派，但表面上总算有说有笑，甚至互相交换拉票心得，再没有过往那种仇人见面分外眼红的紧绷. 即便是主要职位在选举期间的交锋，个人觉得和过去的你死我活比较也宛如小巫见大巫．加上这几年中委会的透明与民主操作，奠定了成熟的论政氛围，除了对某些课题因看法不同而偶有火花外，也都是对事不对人，因此在选情激烈下所举行的最后一次中委会，温馨的离别依依之情反而盖过了选举进入倒数阶段的剑拔弩张，让人完全感受不到锋火．
此次马华党选在不被看好的情况空前热烈，让许多预测党职将比后候选人多的时评者跌破了眼镜，整个竞选期间各报竞相分析与预测，有扑风捉影的，有唯恐天下不乱的，有更多半夜吃黄瓜不知头尾,让知情者啼笑皆非的，更有被 ‘放风’ 者利用以借刀杀人的评论，让受影响的候选人恨得牙痒痒却不敢抗议以免死得更为难看！
无论如何，由于没有明显的派系，加上各区会无干预的开放让候选人会见代表，因此选前虽然 ‘菜单’ 满天飞，但作用不大，大多数的代表在几个月里赶赴了多场饭局，体重稍增，阅读了多张竞选传单后，心下都有了底，因此我们看到不被看好的候选人因为连续两届勤于跑动，结果诚意感动了代表而中选；我们也看到了上一届以特出的宣传品结果虽然寂寂无名却以最高票落选的李伟杰，随者其不舍不弃的坚持，不但带动拉了本届各候选人竞相下重本印制精美宣传品与纸袋，也从最高票落选到以最高票当选，笑傲本届党选！他在最后一分中推出的完整候选人名单，让代表们感受到他的体贴不但为他加分也让许多挖空心思想借宣传品出位的候选人掏心锤肺，可见党选也很讲究宣传技巧呢！然而，值得一提的是，这次最威的莫过于是公开表明没有竞选宣言，也没有特别印制任何宣传品，有的只是一张没有时限，电话随时可接通的律师名卡的王乃志，他的中选说明了只要平时有表现，竞选不一定得花钱！
这次的党选在激烈但不火爆的气氛下进行，在公开，透明和民主的方式下完成，为马华转型跨出了成功的第一步，我们衷心的期望从今以后，无论是在位的或已退休的，无论是党内的，党外的和媒体，都以乐见马华转型大步前行的心态扶助，党内诸公别再进行任何有违民意，发表任何不符道德价值的事，我们希望第一号和第二号人物以合作无间的事实的让置疑双方互动能否和谐的道听途说者再跌破眼镜，反正自然花乐的清道服务还过得去！

Chew supports MB’s decision
KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun has urged Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to stand by his decision to appoint Low Siew Moi as acting general manager of the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).
In supporting Low’s appointment, Chew said Khalid should not back down on his decision.
“Even though I share a different political ideology with Tan Sri Khalid, I believe in the Selangor Mentri Besar’s trust and confidence in women’s capabilities to helm PKNS,” she said in a statement yesterday.
Chew stressed that the appointment of top government posts should not be based on skin colour or gender but on the ability to perform.
She criticised Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hassan Mohamed Ali and former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo who questioned Low’s appointment.
Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation executive council member Tan Sri Robert Phang questioned why Low’s appointment was only temporary. “So long as the person is experienced and professionally qualified, she should be given the fair opportunity to lead a corporation, and even upgrade the social economy status of bumiputras,” he said in a statement. Shah Alam Umno information chief Mohd Azhar Othman said the appointment was against the main aim and policies behind the setting up of corporation and marked the first time it would be led by a non-bumiputra since it was set up in 1964. “It is as though he is belittling the experience and credibility of the Malay officers in PKNS,” he said in a statement yesterday. Mohd Azhar said that two candidates who should have been considered were deputy general manager (administration) Md Nasir Md Arshad and deputy general manager (technical) Abdul Ghani Hassan. On Tuesday, the Selangor Malays Residents Action Body held a protest against Low’s appointment outside the Selangor state secretariat building. The group’s chairman, Kamaruddin Raja Ab Wahid, said the appointment infringed on Malay rights and insulted the Sultans.

Wanita MCA supports the appointment of Low Siew Moi as Acting General Manager of PKNS
- Chew Mei Fun to Khalid Ibrahim: Don't compromise on Siew Moi's appointment
Wanita MCA National Chairman Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun today urged Selangor MB YB Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to be firm in his professional view and stand over the appointment of Sdri Low Siew Moi as Acting General Manager of Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).
Emphasizing that, "Tan Sri Khalid should not be influenced by PAS or any quarters and then compromise on his decision on the appointment Sdri Loh Siew Moi to the top post in PKNS," Mei Fun concurred that, "even though I share a different political ideology with Tan Sri Khalid, however I believe in the Selangor Menteri Besar's trust and confidence in women's capabilities to helm PKNS."
She stressed that, "in this globalised world, the appointment of top government posts should not be based on skin colour or gender. Those with capabilities and are able to perform should be given the opportunity to serve." She added that, "if the person appointed performs well meritoriously, they should be allowed to continue their service in their respective positions. However, if they failed to perform, it is never too late to terminate their services."
Mei Fun also criticized the statements made by Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Dr Hassan Mohamed Ali and former Selangor MB, Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo who questioned the appointment of Sdri Low Siew Moi PKNS as Acting General Manager based on her race and gender.
She added that, "the behaviour of these two leaders who questioned and prejudiced the capabilities of women will not increase the country's competitiveness and encourage economic growth. At the end of the day, the country will experience brain drain with more and more talented professionals leaving Malaysia for other countries to seek work and pursue their ambitions."

周美芬：卡立应坚持雪州发展局总经理人选决定
马华全国妇女组主席拿汀巴杜卡周美芬表示，雪州州务大臣丹斯里卡立在委任刘秀梅为雪州发展局代总经理一事上有开始软化的迹象，她促请卡立在任人唯贤的大原则下，坚持自己的专业判断，不应受回教党和巫统的影响而做出让步。
周美芬说，虽然她和卡立的政见不同，但她对于卡立肯定华裔女性的能力并委以雪州发展局代总经理一职的决定，表示欣慰。
她强调，在全球化的年代，出任政府高职不应再以肤色和性别作为遴选标准，只要一个人有能力，就应该给他机会去表现。若表现好，就继续担起责任；若表现不好，到时撤换也不迟。
她也抨击雪州回教党领袖拿督哈山阿里和巫统前州务大臣拿督斯里基尔的狭隘偏激言论，因为这种根深蒂固的“马来人至上”单元种族思维加上两性能力有别的先入为主偏见，无助于提升我国的经济发展和竞争能力，也导致越来越多的各族人才外流现象越趋严重。

有信心獲婦女組支持‧周美芬不怕年輕被看不起
（吉隆坡）新任馬華婦女組主席拿汀巴杜卡周美芬說，她不會因年紀太輕而被婦女組看不起，她有信心得到婦女組的支持。現年44歲的周美芬表示，她曾擔任多屆馬華中委，且是最年輕的中委。

她在出席馬華婦女組第33屆常年代表大會開幕後，在新聞發佈會上表示，婦女組曾在會議上多次討論未來接班人的事宜，大家也取得相關的共識。
婦女組將換全新思維
周美芬表示，在她的領導下，她將為婦女組換上全新的思維，淡化外人對婦女組只關注兒童、婦女和社會課題的刻板印象。她說，女性參政除了能提昇女性地位和保障生活，參政者的關懷面會更廣，而不只關注兒童、婦女和社會課題。
將招更多男女新血入黨
周美芬建議成立一個以她和新任馬青總團長拿督魏家祥為首的聯合工作委員會，以招募更多男女青年入黨。“如果能在不觸及婦女組和馬青現有的組織架構下，讓我們雙方來成立一個聯合工作委員會，以全面推動和發展男女青年招募和培訓工作，這會更好。”

Ling does not expect all to agree with his views
GEORGE TOWN: No individuals can get 100% agreement for his or her opinion.
This was what former MCA president Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik said when asked to comment on reports in the Chinese press of him coming under fire from women leaders for saying “men have to release their extra energy, and as long as they don’t talk about it (cheating on their spouses) and don’t get caught, there is no problem”.
“If they disagree, they disagree. If they agree, they agree. No individual can get 100% agreement for his or her opinion,” he told newsmen after launching the Malaysia Festival of the Mind IV at Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) College Penang branch yesterday.
Wanita MCA chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun had said Dr Ling was sending a wrong message on moral values to the public as he had not only attempted to rationalise a wrong sexual behaviour but also insulted men who are faithful to their wives.

Mayang Jaya folk get futsal court
AFTER a three-year wait, SS26 Taman Mayang Jaya folk finally have a futsal court.
“Many who come to the park here are older folk. We hope the futsal court can help bridge the gap between them and the younger generation,” said Futsal Sports Club committee chairman James Teo.
Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who officiated at the court’s launch, was glad she could fulfil the last promise she made to residents before the general election.
“Funds for the court were provided by the Housing and Local Government Ministry.
“The project was approved by the Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MBPJ). Since the local councillors had not been elected at that time, the tender could not be carried out. Hence the delay,” she said.
In addressing the issue of the Taman Megah Mas tunnel and flash floods in Petaling Jaya, Chew said: “When approving high-rise buildings, we take into account the drainage system, traffic congestion and other problems that may arise.
“If the tunnel is closed, some residents will be happy while others won’t. Thus, to solve one problem, make sure you do not create another problem.”
Meanwhile, Teo urged residents to become members of the Futsal Sports Club to enjoy the court.
“It costs RM60 a year to be a member. Non-members have to pay RM120 a year to use the court. The funds will be used to maintain the court,” he said.
SS26 resident’s association chairman Liew Wei Beng said the association would approach MBPJ to install lights for the court.

Wanita wing wants to be a serious player
KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita MCA needs to break the stereotype that it only focuses on women’s issues.
Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said yesterday this stereotype has over the years resulted in many in the community regarding the wing as pursuing petty issues.
“The perception is a strong one. People have put us aside. People will not give attention to whatever matter we raise,” she told reporters at the end of the party’s 55th annual general assembly.
Chew said the wing would no longer confine its struggle to only women, children and family issues.
“Until today, there are people who consider women’s issues as petty issues. What is most important is to transform and rebuild our image and give people hope,” she said.
Chew added that the wing would be more vocal in a pragmatic manner in its struggle for the people.

针对敦林良实：[ 男人须发泄多余精力，只要出轨的事没有讲出来，也没有让人知道，就不会有问题。他还举例，国父曾在国会挑战不曾有过“通奸”行为的国会议员举手，当时除了陈志勤，没有一位敢举手说自己不曾通奸 ] 的言论，马华妇女组谨此声明如下：
“有关言论一方面错误的合理化了男性的错误性行为，另一方面令其他忠于家庭与妻子的男性受辱，同时也对社会传达了错误的价值观，我们吁请各界人士，尤其是有社会地位与影响力者慎言，以免为社会做出错误的示范”

拨云见日(２８) - 无关交情，只因马华要赢！
从最近各主要媒体对马华党选的广泛报道与评论足见马华公会并未因３０８大选惨败受到公众的漠视，相反的大家都聚焦于两千余名的马华党员将投选出怎样的一个团队，因为这个团队将决定马华的未来，也将决定国家政治的未来发展。
媒体与公众对马华党选的重视，在某个程度证明了大家认同马华在国内政坛的份量，而这个份量的轻重将随着党选成绩的出炉在关心马华党选的每个人心中“尘埃落定”，可以预料的是无论党选结果如何，评论马华党选成绩与预测马华未来领导方向的言论必将倾巢而出，好评如潮固然可以为马华的重建奠定一个好的开始，万一恶评如潮则马华前进必将匍匐难行，换句话说，要取得大选后重振雄风的好开始，本届马华中央手中的一票如何投必须作出比以往更审慎的思考。
以政纲选？以才能选？以德行选？以利益选？以性别选？以地区选？以派系选？还是以交情选？如果逐一打分，应以那一个条件占最大比例？我想每位代表难免都将在抉择时经历一点痛苦挣扎的过程！尤其是当和自己素有交情的同志在各方面无法取得足够的分数的时候，如何抉择？因为理性的答案必然是以“能”者居之，但对好朋友又“于心何忍”呢？
因此，候选同志们，如果您没中选，请别怪我，也许我有投您，也也许我没有投您，我的一票决定不什么，是大家不约而同的那一票起了作用。
选完后，至少我会抽空这么安慰您：您不中选不是因为您不好，不是因为我们没有交情，而是马华生死存亡之际，交情、派系等以往的投票决定标准都已不管用，我们要变，要转变！
2004年公正党在大选中只赢得一个议席，今天她成了最大的反对党，2008年马华输剩15国席，32州席，2013年马华要赢，人民要赢！国家要赢！

拨云见日(27) - 寂寞难耐！
看黄家定的不参选；
看伯拉的退位；
看输了大选跳槽后对原本栽培自己的党极尽诬蔑批判；或输不起还不断找代罪羔羊或不断放火；或悄悄退位，不带走一片云彩；
看因各种原因不得不自己下台或被迫下台，过后再战江湖；
看为了个人私利不惜典当国家经济与稳定，操弄也嘲弄民主；
看退位领袖不甘寂寞对接任者步步进迫等政治人物的风貌，可以得出以下结论：
政治是崇高的！
政治是残酷的！
政治是无常的！
政治也是肮脏的！！
可见政治之崇高或肮脏全在人为，唯一可惜的是残酷的、无常的和肮脏的似乎总是盖过了“崇高”的形象，因为这个现实，所有从政者在位时的形象似乎都好不到那里去！退位后，少了利益关系，反而在人们的回顾中会赢回尊重！
许多人看到代议士在位时的风光，很少人看到败选后的失意与失落，甚至失业和下台后的冷清（这就是为什么某些从政者总是不甘寂寞，连输多次还是坚持屡败屡战！）。
最近出席各州党代表大会，发现自从拿督斯里黄家定宣布不参选党职后，以往对拿督斯里黄家定亦步亦趋的媒体已立刻转移了焦点，即使开幕者是黄家定，开幕后追踪采访的对象却是现下的马华当红炸子鸡（为免影响选情，恕不点名），甚至曾经发生电视台记者在焦急下转过头来瞪着眼睛要求大家噤声时却发现站在最近者竟然是马华总会长的窘境，难得的是黄家定神态自若，笑着立刻把食指放在唇上转过头来示意大家噤声！
黄家定可以如此从容自在，因为这是他的选择，因为他了解也接受政治的现实，甚至刻意的拒绝了许多的邀请，让自己逐渐从镁光灯下淡出，但换着是其他人就不同了，没有镁光灯的日子也许是很寂寞难耐的，敦马会不会是其中一位呢？他辛辣的言辞，对当政者毫不留情的批判至今仍是媒体焦点！
媒体要的是有“价值”的新闻，而“价值”是可以设计的，是可以制造的 － 只要你敢！敢讲他人不敢讲，敢做他人不敢做，就有机会让媒体聚焦于你！而现实中确实有很多人，尤其是政治人物敢！因此我们的报纸永远热闹，永远有“新闻”！而政治的“肮脏”形象也因此一而再，再而三的被强化！！

潘俭伟，别推卸责任！
(新闻稿)
（八打灵再也15日讯）周美芬服务队队长庄赐昭呼吁身为八打灵再也北区国会议员的潘俭伟负起担任人民代议士的责任，关心选区居民的生活福祉，而非在发生问题后把责任推给已不在位的周美芬为他承担责任。
他针对潘俭伟发表文告要求周美芬出示证据证明每季度完成深化河流的证据感觉啼笑皆非。他说，潘俭伟身为该区国会议员本应检讨疏忽，承担责任，从此关注有关课题，以免水灾再次发生，但现在他反而企图混淆是非要周美芬为他承担责任，让人极度失望。
他说，从潘俭伟的文告中提到“河流深化”的说法显示他对有关河流的情况至今不甚了了，正确的行动应该是定期清除从上流流下郁积于千百家村一带河道的泥沙以避免大雨时流水不及而导致河水倒灌。
除此，水利灌溉局在每州每县都有分局，而国会议员也每月受邀出席县署会议，加上他身为国会议员每季出席国会，因此他有许多机会与管道向水利灌溉局甚至是天然资源与环境部发映，但他却没有，反而要周美芬代劳，不如把他的每月津贴交给周美芬，他就做他的文告议员就好了。
庄赐昭说，周美芬在任内成功向中央政府申请一千两百万令吉完成从白沙罗至千百家村一带河道的提升工程，重建及加高千百家村桥面的事实与功绩无可置疑，同时她每月出席县署会议跟进卡由阿拉河道发展的事实也有记录，问题出在新的代议士上任后对有关课题疏忽，责任无可推卸。
他呼吁潘俭伟从今开始除了发文告应多访问选区，应跟进在周美芬时代已要求八打灵再也市政厅展开的卡由阿拉河一带排水系统和金美阳花园一带交通系统的全面检讨与提升。讲多没用，做才是最实际的！

谢谢大家的支持，让我即将在17/10/08的当天上任为马华全国妇女组主席，诚如我向来对大家说的：“胜利是承担的开始！”，在目前这个时代把妇女组扛起来绝对不是容易的事，党的期望很高，姐妹的期许不低，当然，人民的要求更高！
有些人说我的竞选政纲没有什么特别，但了解内情的人都会认同我所拟定的方向正是马华妇女组目前所最欠缺也最需要加强与开创的！同时它也是妇女组走向未来必须作出的改变与革新！
从决定竞选的那一天开始，我的脑海里就一直的惦念着马华妇女组未来的路与未来的方向！是时候让我们突破旧思维，开创新方向，树立新形象，让大家看到新希望了！
YB魏家祥以马青举办许多活动获得女青年参加但由于不隶属马青所以白白流失了许多女青年党员作为要还原马青原貌的理由，要让40岁以下的马华女性党员同时成为妇女组与马青团员，引起了许多女同志的非议，也让许多现有的女青年感觉不是味道！我个人觉得要招收更多年轻人入党的目标是绝对正确的，但方法很多， 妇女组和马青不应该是各行其是的，不应该是互别苗头竞争的，我们应该是各司其职之余，互相扶持，相得益彰的！我们可以共同成立一个专责处理青年男女入党的计划与工作委员会，为两个组织开启合作的空间，也建立同志间亲爱精诚，团结共进的精神。
提升妇女地位这条路不好走，但我们已决定义无反顾的把它扛起来，未来，我们将以理性，不亢不卑的方式和母体和马青及各方合作，该坚持的我们不会退缩，我们希望大家不要太早下评断，希望大家不要以传统的刻板印象为我们定型，给我们机会让我们证明我们能！

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun became the new MCA Youth and Wanita MCA chiefs after they won the positions uncontested.
Incumbents Datuk Liow Tiong Lai and Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen did not seek re-election as they are vying for a vice-president post in the parent body.
Dr Wee and Chew were lifted onto the shoulders of their supporters after party election steering committee chairman Tan Sri Wong See Wah announced they had won the posts uncontested.Dr Wee thanked the Youth members for giving him the confidence and support to lead the wing for the next three years. “It is very rare to see a no-contest for the wing’s top post. I will take my new role with a huge responsibility to serve the party and the people,” he said. Dr Wee promised to work harder to fulfil his commitment, which is to speak up and make changes without fear.
Chew said the movement would emphasise on national issues, including the economy and education, and change the public’s perception that it only focuses on women’s problems.
“I must thank the central delegates for supporting me and I will try my best to deliver what I have promised in my manifesto and work with the party leadership,” she said.
Newly-elected Wanita deputy chief Datuk Yu Chok Tow, who also won uncontested, said she would work with Chew and the new leadership to further develop the movement. “We have always enjoyed a good working relationship and we will continue to work together to unify the movement,” she said.
The four vice-chairman posts in the movement went to Datuk Lee Pit Chern, Tan Ah Eng, Tan Cheng Liang and Datuk Lim Bee Kau. The Youth wing’s deputy chief post will be a contest between Perak Youth chief Dr Mah Hang Soon and Kapar division chief Datuk Soong Kee Chai.
Soong, who had challenged Liow for the Youth chief post in the 2005 party election, said he decided to contest at the last minute to bring reform to the wing. “Most of the people in the wing are ‘yes men’. For me, the wing should not be controlled by people other than the wing’s members,” he said. When asked why he did not go for the chief’s post, Soong, 55, said Dr Wee was capable of leading the wing but he felt he was more capable than Dr Mah. Dr Mah said he respected Soong’s decision as every delegate was eligible to contest. “I believe the delegates have the wisdom to choose the right candidate for the post,” he said.

Chew to inject life into Wanita MCA
Mei Fun: New Hope (TheStarOnline.tv)
KUALA LUMPUR: Wanita MCA chief aspirant Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun has pledged to turn the wing into a young, dynamic, energetic and joyful organisation.
“Let us go beyond our traditions and set ourselves free from the current predicament by adopting a new thinking, new perspective and new direction to become leaders for the people.
“We will also be political workers for the people so as to project a new image and create a new hope for the people,” she said at the launch of her manifestos at Wisma MCA yesterday.
Chew, who is deputy Wanita chief, said she had outlined seven plans to achieve her target.
“We will build teams comprising talents in the respective fields and devote more time in the deliberation and study of government policies and legislation,” she said.
Chew said the wing should continue to carry out more effective community projects and activities for women to empower and help them integrate with their community.
