Tony Pua's looking for volunteers: Will bloggers offer help?
It is interesting to know that Tony Pua is most likely to stand against Chew Mei Fun.
Personally I don't think it is an advisable move because everyone knows Chew Mei Fun has a strong influence in PJ Utara and she is a woman who walk the talk.
Few years back, she personally helped my business partners and I who are struggling for months to get a business license. She then even attended the opening ceremony of our small tuition centre in PJ. However, what amazes me is that Chew Mei Fun is a person who recognized faces very well, when she said 'hi' to me at 1 Utama some time ago. She doesn't mind to greet you first. What a humble politician.
As for Tony Pua, I am a regular to his education blog and honestly he is the only DAP leader and blogger I respect due to his non radical approach and often enlightening way of writing.
Tony is looking for volunteers in some areas of his campaign. If you, especially bloggers who have been supporting Tony and DAP 'virtually' all these while, why not get out from your seat and help in his campaign? Unlike Chew Mei Fun and BN, Tony and DAP do not have the luxury for machinery and media.
It is time for you guys, the so-called political bloggers to show some actions rather than just talk the talk. So are you game for it?

dear HCFoo,
While Chew Mei Fun helped you to bypass the red-tape, it should be reminded that the red-tape shouldn't be there in the first place. an efficient and accountable government would have less bureaucracy and red tapes than malaysian's. Let's face it. our government is so corrupted, and our civil service is so "inefficient" that it takes a Member of the Parliament to get business licences. Imagine church permit, secular schools land application, religion conversion, free health care, and the various issues that you have yet to encounter in life.
Is BN doing it job? Yes, but not good enough. Is Chew Mei Fun doing enough? Not at all. MCA is nothing more than a lame self-serving party. Bygone the days where they advocate the interest of the minority CHinese.
That's life for you.

Rational thinker: I'm not an idealist or chasing for idealism like you because it simply doesn't exists.
Btw, I judge a person by his or her characters and not the parties.

Chew Mei Fun has done a great job as MP for PJ Utara. She is the one to watch as potential MCA Wanita President. It will not be easy for Tony Pua to unseat her. :)

Sam: Seriously it's kinda impossible to unseat Chew Mei Fun. Not many people in the Klang Valley and technology savvy let alone into blogging or reading blogs. But we'll see what Tony can do.

because of practicality, and the comfort of status quo, that we as malaysians had alloweed our incumbents government went out without check and balance.that's the only reason why i ll be voting for party and policies instead of candidates...coz at the end of the day, candidates can't decide what BN stands for. only umno can.
