Chew Mei Fun: Afraid Voters May Be Misled

China Press, January 21, 2008 (Monday) Page A11.

Petaling Jaya, Jan 20 - MP for Petaling Jaya Utara Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said that although the voters in Petaling Jaya Utara are very supportive of Barisan Nasional, she is worried that voters may be misled by the Opposition’s “checking Chinese with Chinese” statement.

She refuted Opposition claims that voters can vote for the Opposition to teach UMNO a lesson, as well as to check UMNO’s power within the BN, but in actual fact, the move will result in “checking Chinese with Chinese”.

She stressed, “If there is insufficient Chinese representation in the Barisan Nasional, it is not a good thing, the Chinese community cannot afford another May 13 incident.”

She said that MCA under the leadership of Ong Ka Ting is keen to establish a healthy political culture, in order to give voters better service.

Chew Mei Fun is also the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development and the Deputy Chairman of Wanita MCA. As the head of the MAC Crisis Relief Squad, she launched the Squad’s first mobile clinic today. Her comments were made when she was asked about MCA President Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Ting’s endorsement of her to defend her parliamentary seat of Petaling Jaya Utara.

She said, she was grateful for the president’s trust in her and will strive to work even harder."

"Please, if you vote in PJ Utara, please show her the door.

How LOW can she go?

Now Lulu's really really wondering what other low-down dirty tactics she will employ to keep her seat.

She's scared of losing her PJ Utara seat, but please... to utter this baseless fear-mongering message.

She deserves to go.

Bungkus.

Siap.

The end.

Get out of here...."

"... Ahli Parlimen untuk Petaling Jaya Utara (MCA), Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun digesa untuk segera menarik balik and minta maaf atas kenyataan beliau yang bersifat ugutan atau ancaman.

Akhbar harian China Press bertarikh 21 Januari melaporkan bahawa Chew Mei Fun berkata, "Jika tiada perwakilan Cina yang mencukupi dalam BN, ia bukanlah sesuatu perkara yang baik, komuniti Cina tidak sanggup menanggung lagi satu insiden Mei 13."

Badan-badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dan pertubuhan masyarakat mendapati kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Chew Mei Fun bertujuan menjadi amaran kepada pengundi supaya tidak menyokong parti pembangkang adalah perbuatan keji dan tidak mempamerkan sifat seorang pemimpin yang berwibawa.

Rusuhan kaum Mei 13, 1969 sememangnya suatu episod gelap dalam sejarah Malaysia di mana keganasan dan manipulasi politik telah menindas proses demokratik dan suara para pengundi. Pembangkitan insiden pahit ini demi kepentingan politik bersifat menghina mangsa yang terkorban, mangsa yang terselamat dan juga keluarga mereka.

Justeru, ramai berpendapat bahawa sekiranya beliau mengetahui apa-apa maklumat tentang pihak tertentu yang berhasrat untuk menggunakan keganasan akibat keputusan pilihanraya yang tidak memuaskan, beliau yang selama ini giat membangkit isu keselamatan awam patut serta-merta membuat laporan polis dan membantu dalam penyiasatan polis.

"Tetapi, sekiranya beliau sekadar berspekulasi, kami berasa amat kecewa kerana beliau sanggup melakukan apa saja untuk mengumpan undi," jelas kenyataan yang ditandatangani oleh pertubuhan tersebut dan orang perseorangan.

Mereka juga berpendapat bahawa ahli politik tidak patut berkelakuan selolah-olah anggota kongsi gelap dan tidak patut menggunakan keganasan sebagai ancaman untuk meraih undi sepertimana anggota kongsi gelap memeras wang.

Mereka berharap agar Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya menyiasat dan membuat laporan polis mengenai kes ini. Namun, semantara itu, pertubuhan-pertubuhan itu menyeru Chew supaya menarik balik kenyataan beliau dan memohon maaf.

Badan-badan tersebut juga menyeru kepada Perdana Menteri Dato' Seri Abdullah Badawi untuk menafikan sebarang kaitan antara kerajaan dan partinya dengan kenyataan Chew yang berpotensi menakutkan pengundi...."
