Stage A Comeback!

I don't understand why some politicians cannot get over with it when everything is over for them! Take a look at our immediate neighbour, Thailand. The former prime minister, Thaksin Shinrawatra who was ousted by the military in 2006 has not given up yet! He still has his die-hard supporters, the "men in red", carrying out the "bloody" job for him! He can still count on their loyalty! How many of us can do that?

And talking of a comeback, we have one such in our own backyard! I'm talking about the former president of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), staging a comeback, albeit on a "smaller scale". He said he's the saviour of MCA. How true is that, nobody really knows. How do we measure the loyalty of his supporters? Are they going to don red? Or spill blood?

It's true, everyone has his democratic rights. Rightly or otherwise, if one has "taken a backseat" and why, out of the blue, wants to be in the driver's seat again? He was able to explain with admirable lucidity the rationale of his decision! He could be pushing his luck a little too far!

If MCA is on "shaky ground", can he move heaven and earth to "stabilize" it? It would be better to let the present leaders handle the problems that have besieged MCA for sometime now! The only logical thing for him to do now is to STAY DOWN and STAY OUT!
