21 Oct 2012: On the eve of the MCA annual general assembly, Chua Soi Lek announced that most of the 50,000 new applicants to join the party since the last general election are women below the age of 40.
The reason is due to Dr Chua’s personal sex appeal.
He was asked what reminder he planned to impart to MCA delegates since the AGM would be the last party gathering before the country goes to the polls.
MCA’s message to Malaysian Chinese, we’re told, is “Don’t worry, be sexy”.
And that was precisely why The Star published more than two dozen stories on a pair of undergraduate sex bloggers to coincide with the Chinese party’s AGM, and with Alvin and Vivian ending up overshadowing the paper’s coverage of the do-or-die meeting held at Wisma MCA.
But never mind. Alvin did manage to underscore the MCA message when he declared that the party president is his role model.
The concept of “special friend” was unveiled by Dr Chua to the Malaysian public at a hotel in Batu Pahat. Yes, yes, we know that politicians usually hold their press conferences in hotel reception rooms.
Dr Chua however is an exception to the rule (of politicians using the reception rooms in hotels). He had booked a private room instead.
But again, never mind. He wanted to introduce to the public MCA’s own innovation to the ‘My Second Home’ programme, and he succeeded. The term he used – “my special friend” – became a trending buzzword.
Dr Chua complains that the DAP is always belittling all the good MCA has done. DAP belittles its rival in order to create the perception that MCA is a stumbling block to the Chinese becoming political kingmakers through throwing the weight of the entire community behind the opposition.
How to let people know about all the good MCA has done? Urm, publicize all the beneficial community projects carried out by the party neh.
If you Google ‘Yu Chok Tow’ – she is the Wanita MCA chief – in http://www.thestar.com.my, you get a total of three stories about her printed in the newspaper from Nov 2011 to Nov 2012 (Past Year search results).
The three Star stories on Yu Chok Tow – a total of THREE! articles altogether throughout the last one year – are headlined:
- ‘Career first before marriage’ (2 days ago)

MCA media machinery campaigning for DAP evangelists
MCA sure is funny. On the one hand, MCA complains that DAP is publicity crazy.
On the other hand, it is the MCA paper that provides its favourite DAP politicians with the most publicity.
The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh on a children’s art competition which was organised by the resident’s association and had nothing to do with her, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh about pasar Ramadan when Christians don’t puasa during Ramadan, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh when it floods in Subang Jaya, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh when roads gets congested in Subang Jaya, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh when the city council replaces faulty traffic controllers in Subang Jaya, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh when houses are burgled in Subang Jaya, The Star interviews Hannah Yeoh when residents catch rats in Subang Jaya …
Aren’t The Star acquainted with any MCA people in Subang Jaya?
The Star features Hannah Yeoh when ‘Lantern fest in Subang Jaya brings the community together‘ (28 Sep 2012) and again the next day when talking about ‘Procession set to light up Subang Jaya‘ (29 Sep 2012) but fails to send a reporter to cover the 1Malaysia Mooncake and Lantern Festival on the same weekend (30 Sept 2012) at SJK (C) Yuk Chai in Petaling Jaya where Dr Chua’s son Tee Yong was the VIP guest of honour.
If like that, the joke is on the MCA president lah.
MCA only scaremongering on hudud
Dr Chua and his party must have felt like a laughing stock when The Star CEO – whom the paper headhunted (resulting in the publication turned into a DAP evangelist cheerleading squad) – recently quit to head a rival paper (according to industry talk) which will soon to be launched.
The Star‘s other big boss Wong Chun Wai lamented in his column yesterday that
- “many Chinese voters, swayed by anti-establishment sentiments towards Barisan Nasional, who have been easily convinced that the Islamist party is perfectly acceptable and that hudud laws would not encroach into the lifestyle of non-Muslims”
- “take a light, if not cynical, response towards the call by the Chinese-based component parties in the Barisan and have dismissed the red flag raised by the MCA and Gerakan as no more than a scare tactic”.
Q & A
.
(1) How come so many Chinese voters are anti-establishment?
Answer: One reason is because The Star promotes the personality cult of opposition politicians and popularizing these evangelist pollies among its Chinese readership, and these are the very pollies who love to mock MCA.
Hannah says: “One act of adultery ruins a whole family”.
Hannah also says: “We must never be like politicians from BN. Some of them, you know, have belittled the institution of marriage and even caused public humility [sic] to their spouse because of adultery.”
(2) How come so many Chinese voters have been easily convinced that PAS the Islamist party is perfectly acceptable?
Answer: One reason is because The Star promotes the personality cult of opposition politicians who popularize a PAS-friendly and Islamist image such as wearing tudung all the time, and sending a message that the Firster Chinese is cool (“racism is so yesterday”) when she wears tudung in paying visits to mosques.
(3) How come so many Chinese voters now seem to believe hudud laws would not encroach into the lifestyle of non-Muslims?
Answer: Because the DAP 2.0 politicians have persuaded the Chinese voters that hudud is harmless and The Star promotes the personality cult of these DAP politicians as idols.
(4) How come so many Chinese voters take a light, if not cynical view of MCA?
Answer: One reason is because The Star promotes the personality cult of opposition politicians (73 stories the past year) while sniggering at the MCA politicians (only 3 stories in the same period) as desperate and unfashionable.
(5) How come so many Chinese voters dismiss the hudud red flag raised by MCA and Gerakan as no more than a scare tactic?
Answer: Because they believe that it is only Chua Soi Lek who will be punished should hudud ever be implemented and they’re actually looking forward to witnessing the stoning of Dr Chua.
Bonus joke
Here’s a popular one: Why did the old dinosaurs cross the road?
Answer: To join DAP waiting on the other side. Heh-heh-heh.

Updated (1/30pm): I reGoogled ‘Yu Chok Tow’ and found 2 more stories — ‘Tan: Kelantan Govt insincere’ (27 May 2012) and ‘Daughter exposes incest’ (14 Jan 2012)
ReGoogling ‘Hannah Yeoh’, I got 81 71 (oops, my mistake) results today. The earlier search used in my article above was done two days ago – 73 separate titles listed. The slight discrepancies could be because of the Star‘s digital filing system (e.g. occasioning duplication when stories are blurbed) or due to however it is that they programme the Google trawl.
Helen Ang 
Hannah yeoh should thank you also as she is getting free publicity from you too. Every single article from you has her name mentioned many times. The voters will not forget her name and her work as her activities are reported by you frequently here. Keep it up! Good job !
ahh RaRa..you forgot one thing: publicity is a double edge sword. Being mentioned too many times cause green eyes among other party members and when the public actually realised that she didn’t do anything for her constituents, do you think they will forgiving, accepting and accomodating?
Just you wait and see what stories of HY that will be leaked out soon…
The Yeopies are ever vigilant.
The beruk King Kong is a Hannah Subang Jaya voter.

salam peace.
:) 60 years of friendship, since the 1952 municipal council election of KL partnership
ya loh! 60 yrs d maa… :)
Calling your guest a ‘beruk’ isn’t becoming, it’s almost ‘DAPster’-like. At least be classy and call him simian-like. The word ‘beruk’ is too ‘low class’, to use the DAP vernacular.
I realize one thing on my short visit back to Malaysia — many Malaysians are RUDE. I am not totally innocent either, but I adopt the rude Malaysian persona in order to compete.
Social interactions in Malaysia seems to be about who can ‘one-up’ the other person, especially in the realm of rudeness. It’s all fun and games until someone loses his temper.
On a side note, don’t you think it’s time you abandoned wordpress? They don’t allow original comments to be edited by the ones who made them.

A guest knows how to behave when visiting and will not be making personal attacks and insulting the host.
The behaviour of this King Kong – who comes from Sek Men Subang and was Hannah Yeoh’s schoolmate and pledges to vote for her – is already known to the regular readers.
Since he calls himself King Kong, what better specie to describe him than beruk?
~Calling King Kong a Beruk~
Beruk comes beruk stays

don’t blame others who betray

Could this be Rajiv – the Saint of Subang Jaya’s loyal sidekick?
Is Rajiv a Christian? King Kong alludes that he is one.
He is one. Look at this link.
———————————————————
IT WAS only a matter of progression for Rajiv Rishyakaran, who went from volunteering with Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh during the March 2008 election campaign to becoming one of her special assistants.
“We got to know each other years ago through Grace Church Shah Alam. I offered to help her during the campaign, and continued to help after she won.
“My duties have since evolved from following Hannah to events and activities, to dealing with the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) on complaints and organising events for Hannah,” he said.

OIC. But no, I don’t think King Kong is Rajiv.
King Kong is a beruk.
Yes, talking about stories, I am also waiting. I hope your wish materializes. It is rather boring with the same old story about religion every day.
In the meantime, why not focus on how to make sure your umno masters not being associated with more scandals. As it is, your musang aman is not feeling aman now. His files are being revisited and apart from ICAC, it involves the anti corruption body of our neighbour country this time.
Just imagine if the tap water consumers in Selangor managed somehow to file their summonses separately…kah kah kah…and make your own guess about how many times they need to scale the court up and down in order to settle this issue? he, he,
As they say, there is no such thing is bad publicity.
Yes, Helen drew my attention to Hannah Yeoh. Never knew here before this.
Here should be ‘her’, You can edit that.
Kalau “bad publicity” tak ujud makanya ABN (asalkan bukan BN) tak perlu buang masa menceritakan keburukan orang lain kerana lebih banyak keburukan didedahkan, ia secara terbalik memberikan kebaikan (good publicity) pada BN?
I expect in the end HY will have to fight for personality right protection law. This is because a person’s name such as Hannah Publicity Crazed Yeoh could be used utilized maximally and solely for commercial purpose.
Stoning of CSL? Personally I don’t think that will take place. Reason? Firstly, stoning is for pious religious followers only. Secondly, based on Religious Party definition…only their members are truly pious congregants. So for YCSL no worry, be sexy, Bro..hik, hik, hik..
Actually, the DAPsters want something else to be done to a part of CSL’s body but dunno whether that’s hudud or not since we all non-Muslims bukannya tahu sangat butir-butir hukuman.
I, too, don’t know whether it’s hudud or not. If it is, the dying breed of tok mudim would get a new lease of life should PAS succeed in their march to Putrajaya come this upcoming GE13.
Whether Pas is in or out of the running is not a main issue for this coming PRU. One big issue here is that there is uncertainty about whom will be nominated as PM if PR win the election. If Pas emerge more dominant than Dap and PKR and if PR truly follow the principle of democracy i.e. the most dominant party is rightfully chosen to be their Caliph, there will be peace and harmony.
Ha ha ha.. sama je. Majoriti muslim pun bukannya tahu sangat. Butir-butir hukuman cuma bentuk. Bentuk tidak semestinya selari dengan keadilan/kesejahteraan. Yang kepala pening aje asyik sibuk dengan bentuk. :)
now we have the salon ruling, next we could have separate dining at eateries and restaurants. then separate lodgings and accommodations at hotels.
when foreign tourists come, they say to each other “where are we ? this place looks like some fictional item in a book or something”.
When foreign couples are holidaying here and they want to check into the same room at a hotel, they will have to show their marriage certificate.
Kalaulah unisex salon diharamkan, apakah penggantinya?
Mungkinkah non-sexual atau bisexual salon?
kik kik kik
Di masa depan, pelancong antarabangsa tak perlu bawa sijil nikah kerana apabila PBB terima cadangan ini…arahkan semua negara agar memasukkan maklumat perkahwinan dalam passport milik warga mereka…mereka (pelancong) hanya perlu tunjukkan passport yang ada maklumat berkaitan. Cumanya siapa yang akan buat cadangan pada PBB?
mungkin Lim Guan Eng. kan dia selalu kata Competency, Accountability, Transparency.
atau Anwar. kan gelagat dia dah diketahui umum. dia dah, apa nama, sudah cukup “transparent”, dah layak bawa cadangan ni ke PBB, tambah lagi dengan sokongan kuat Yahudi, Neo Con, dia akan dapat sambutan.
masalahnya apabila usul ni memerlukan undi untuk diluluskan, tak banyak negara yang akan undi yes, sebab ini dah mencabuli hak asasi dan individual privacy.
dengan ni, usul ini ditolak oleh majoriti ahli-ahli PBB, kecuali the usual suspects dari OIC. hahaha !
Anwar lebih dari transparent. Sampai tak ada tutup-tutup lagi.
