So, now it's OK?

UMNO and PAS

The MCA has been very vocal when the DAP and PAS worked together and later on formed the Pakatan Rakyat together with PKR. Some of its leaders has been calling for the DAP to apologise to the Chinese voters for "backstabbing" the Chinese because of PAS' ideology. Setting up of an Islamic State by PAS has been used by MCA to taruk DAP.

So, now it's OK for UMNO to hold talks with PAS? MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the party would view the talks between Umno and PAS from a “very open-minded perspective”. Interesting choice of word, sir. When UMNO talks to PAS, it's because of unity and for the good of all Malaysian, but when DAP did that, its backstabbing. I'm no politician and I don't really support a particular party. But the MCA seems to have gone back on its stand. Maybe when Taiko do something, Sai Lo just need to keep its mouth shut.

Not even 1 MCA leader has come out and say something other than praising the leaders for "trying to unite" the nation. DAP, as a member of the PR has voiced concern about the talk, and as the result of that has been accused by Datuk Shairir of overreacting or over suspicious. Another hypocrite. A desperate ploy to win back Malay votes? Why not unity among Malaysians? Even his brother, Khalid Abd Samad has said the talk is more of an attempt to hurt the PR and calls for the talk to end. “All Umno wants is the numbers to significantly weaken Pakatan Rakyat. It wants power. It does not have Malay unity or Islam at heart. It is just using excuses,” is what the Shah Alam MP have said. Maybe MCA needs to comment and 'stand' on the Chinese side? As long as the political parties harping on racial sentiments for support, there will be no unity. I hold Malaysian IC, passport. I love nasi lemak, teh-o ais limau. I sing 'Negaraku' at school. Am I anything less Malaysian?

Walk the talk, man. Make your stand clear. Don't be a flip-flop party. It'll be interesting to see if MCA willing to go against the Taiko.
