CinaBeng Goh Been Sing new Selangor DAP Boss |
There is a racist belief that the CinaBengs and CinaPeks in DAP Selangor, have ousted Tony Pua because they couldn't stand his alleged 'inclusiveness' for Malays.
Ho-hum, so what's new, you may ask, as that would be the 'same old same old' racism, non-Cina, Malays, CinaBengs, Chinese-centric DAP, etc etc etc?
Well, what's new is that the trouble lies within DAP itself or more specifically DAP Selangor.
But I am sad, wakakaka, to announce to those who have alleged so, is that the result for the top 15 leaders elected by the party also consists of 2 Indians among the CinaBengs.

another CinaBeng Gan Ah Bah |
Fifth in place has been V Ganabatirau with 429 votes (top of list is Ng Sze Han with 491 votes), whilst our redoubtable Gobind, son of DAP icon the late Karpal came out 9th with 393 votes. By contrast, Tony Pua was in 19th posiiton with 292 votes.
A re-iteration, Ganabatirau and Gobind emerged from the state party elections as 5th and 9th, and not as you detractors would have loved to see, 14th and 15th, wakakaka.
And to really eff those racial allegations-accusations, the top 15 voted for Gobind to be the Chair of DAP Selangor. Eff those racist anti-CinaBengs-&-anti-Hawker type members. Yes, the critics of the winning team (and thus pro-Tony Pua) are 'snobs', sneering at members that are 'hawker' type.
The reason for Tony Pua's ouster has been his loss of popularity or standing within the state of Selangor after a few years where the DAP members witnessed his aloof inner-coterie style of management.
The Chinese Press has already warned of Tony Pua's 'detachment' from the DAP state grassroots - yes, 'grassroots' that one of my blog's visitors sneered at as less-academically qualified rivals of (presumably) Tony Pua.
He said those 'rivals' couldn't compete on academic methodologies due to their (lack of) qualifications (presumably of low class 'hawker' type or/and CinaBeng type).

And while both groups from clique (not clichés as he incorrectly put it), the 自鸣清高 (from online google dic: "self-sounding") technocrats of Tony Pua's group have no time to play party politics whilst the other rival group, who arose from the party's rank & file have the upper political hand by their party politicking.
In that, my visitor also unwittingly admitted Tony Pua had been a Tokong Brigade parachutist, wakakaka.
By the by, the more correct DAP man to be identified as chiefly responsible for his 'inclusiveness' of Malays in the party is Liew Chin Tong, the party's chief strategist, and not some pretender-to-the-title.
My visitor (and he's not alone in this, wakakaka) decried that the term 'grassroot feeling' is an overused big word to justify why TP has been ousted by sheer party politicking. He moaned that the TP faction have far too many 'daily living issues' to play nasties of naughty political drudgery!

Sadly and quite obviously, he (my visitor) smells or stinks of elitism, arrogance, snobbery and a disdain, disregard and detestation for the so-called plebeian 'grassroots'. I consider that as typical of his usual behaviour, through his arrogant, hubristic, pompous know-it-all and most-times racist comments - ta'bisa kalah, wakakaka.
Such an attitude is what makes the owner (my visitor) a likely go-it-alone dictator-wannabe (or at least with an inner coterie), very reminiscent of the mannerisms of a couple of Malaysian leaders, wakakaka, who are known to be prone to such arrogance, snobbery and dictatorial behaviours.

And who have been the people who came to TP's defence? Hannah Yeoh and Yeo Bee Yin, both also Young Turks known to be close to Tony Pua (including Teo Nie Ching), and gullible supporters of Lim Guan Eng, wakakaka.
They believe TP is an economic whizkid though he was a failure in his pre-political business in Singapore. I am reminded by a Malaysiakini article that TP might not be so shit-hot in economic affairs as we might have earlier believed.
Eric See-To informed us (and not denied by TP) TP’s Cybervillage in Sing suffered six straight years of continued losses from 2002 to 2007, whereafter he packed his bags, left Singapore for Selangor and joined DAP to bless the party with 'his technical expertise on financial matters', wakakaka.

Some on RFB still don't believed TP failed in his own business - impossible lah, wakakaka - what guppies, but alas, they provide succor to the elites in DAP.
If you want to know more about TP and his failed business but more importantly for guppies, of his 'boe-cheng, boe gee-k'ee' attitude (ingratitude), and more, do read my post un-Chinese Tony Pua.
What has perhaps been not pretty (for DAP and me) was TP treating his benefactor Eric See-To (no doubt of a different political alignment) with such nasty arrogant social contempt and also his 'mudah lupa-ness' that See-To was once his good matey who willingly loaned RM100k to him when his business had some cash flow problem. But 'enuff of TP's history with Eric See-To.

In the Selangor DAP party election for the top 15 leaders, it has not been a complete whitewash of new Young Turks as my blogging matey Ong Kian Ming came in 14th with 324 votes. Ong has always been a decent and civil technocrat with typically Asian humility, politeness and etiquette.
I dare say it has been an individual eff-up by Tony Pua in losing his leadership position in that state DAP. Even the current top DAP veteran leader Lim KS (who broke my once pro-DAP heart) has admitted that TP has lost the support of the DAP grassroots - for more see Malaysiakini's Lim: Pua defeated as he lost touch with the grassroots.
TP is of course the close-confidante of Lim GE, the powerful son of Lim KS, but even LKS could not hide TP's eff-up within the DAP party, though LKS euphemised the eff-up as a result of TP focusing on national issues to the detriment of the grassroots.

MKINI reported LKS saying"One of the reasons (for his defeat) is that he focused too much on national issues and lost touch with the grassroots." Wakakaka, Uncle Lim has to give mucho 'face' to TP.
But there's more than the un-Chinese pomposity and aloofness of TP to his leadership ouster. Selangor DAP members, yes those hawker-type grassroots, wakakaka, have been unhappy that the party’s top leaders (the Tokong-ised Elites) were making decisions without involving them and the state leadership.
Awang Azman Awang Pawi from Universiti Malaya said this could be seen in the 14th general election line-up of DAP candidates. "Not happy" would be putting it mildly insofar as DAP grassroot members are concerned.
Yes sir, FMT informs us that: Two other controversial issues said to have riled the grassroots are the Balakong by-election which led to an open protest from the grassroots when their preferred candidate was not chosen, and the Mass Rapid Transit feeder bus issue, where Pua vouched for Grabcars as a replacement.

poor Yunna Tan LKS was forced to step into the selection of the grassroot-preferred candidate Wong Siew Ki |
UTM political geo-strategist Azmi Hassan told FMT “The most probable reason is that the delegates want to send a message to Guan Eng that there is discontent among DAP members regarding the way DAP is heading under him.”
It's also said that Selangor DAP grassroots want a fresh line-up of state leaders who are not from the Tokong Elites.
By now, political-savvy Lim KS must be pretty worried chai-chai is not doing great guns within the party, just as his bromantic mate, Maddy is experiencing similar sinking feelings vis-a-vis his son Mukhriz.
