(helenang.wordpress.com) MCA should gulung tikar.
DAP has long been taunting that MCA should close shop.
I agree.
One option MCA should consider is to close shop if the best it can do in the Balakong by-election is to keep its deposit (or secure 12.5% of total votes cast) even with PAS help - goo.gl/nrMbkE
In the Balakong by-election yesterday, DAP’s share of the popular vote rose to 85 percent. It is an increase from the 77.5 percent vote share DAP obtained in the general election four months ago.
This time, MCA managed to keep its deposit … but barely. This time also, MCA contested under its own (not BN’s) party logo and faced off DAP in a straight fight.
Chinese voters have spoken loud and clear through their ballot – they continued to reject MCA while handing DAP a thumping victory.

MCA: Dying … dying … dead
Don’t expect the pro-DAP Chinese tsunami to ebb, ever.
Our general election in 1969 was the first time that the DAP-led opposition won the popular vote at 50.7 percent. The Alliance comprising Umno, MCA and MIC obtained 49.3 percent of the vote.
The opposition had to wait until 2013 to repeat its feat of winning the popular vote. This time also, DAP again emerged the strongest opposition party in parliament.
Today history has turned a full circle with BN once more being reduced to its three core communal parties of Umno, MCA and MIC. Only now the Chinese leg of the race tripod is broken beyond repair.

Chinese politics a zero sum game
After the BN’s landslide victory in GE11 under Abdullah Badawi, DAP took a change of direction with an increasingly Christian – particularly evangelical – leadership.
Its UBAH approach evidently worked. As you can observe in the red graph, DAP has really bloated, just like their many YBs’ expanding waistlines and Guan Eng’s own double chin.
Comparing the red (DAP) and blue (MCA) graphs above, the see-saw effect over four general elections is apparent: When MCA is up, DAP is down and vice versa.
MCA and DAP’s contrasting electoral fortunes is shown even more starkly by the overlapping graphs below of state seats nationwide under both parties. The 2018 paired red-and-blue bars (at the very bottom) indicating the GE14 state assemblies head count says it all.
Let DAP carry on in its present trajectory
MCA has hit rock bottom and it can never recover; the signs can’t get any clearer than this. After all, Wisma MCA will become rubble in the near future.
With its party headquarters demolished and gone, what’s left? MCA’s spirit had long flown its body, so it’s quite fitting that the physical outer shell be discarded as well.

The vile DAP leaders and their vicious cybertroopers cannot be budged because Chinese support for them is rock solid. It is simply impossible to wean these hyper partisan followers away from the party.
Best thing is to accept facts, gamely confront reality and let the chips fall where they may.
Tajuddin Abdul Rahman and Lokman Noor Adam are not the only ones who deeply loathe the DAP. Rest assured that the anti-DAP tide will swell into a counter tsunami sooner than you think.
