MCA should "Think Outside the Box"

Year in, year out....MCA Leadership do things the same, old manner. Campaigning by going to pasar, holding talks, putting free dinners. A bunch of old dogs doing the same old tricks.

MCA needs to Transform, Reform, Reengineer....
We need a brand NEW MCA.

An MCA that could reach out to the young and middle-aged generation.  Young and middle-aged generation are generally well-educated, either trilingual or bilingual, computer literate, internet savvy, exposed to all kinds of infomation through various media (conventional or new media).

MCA needs a New-Style Think Tank.
I have checked INSAP, the so-called Think Tank of MCA.  Most of the people I see listed there are green horns, fresh from the Univ.  I think they can be good speech writers, but definitely NOT, the strategists.

Example of people who qualify to be in Think Tank could be:
1) People with good and plenty of creative ideas,
2) People who do not seek "Leadership" post or other benefits from the Party,
3) People with mature and strategic thinking,
4) People with high intelligence.

Often times, people with high intelligence, abundance of ideas and strategic thinking are NOT interested in politics, NOT interested to hold positions in Division level, State level or Central Committee. 
There are many Bloggers that would fit in well into this Reformation/Transformation Think Tank.
I suddenly think of a Blogger: TiLianKer.  I think this Pahang guy should be one of those in the Think Tank.

People in the Think Tank should and must THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
People in Think Tank do Not necessarily need to meet up at MCA HQ at KL.  They can communicate via WhatsApp, YahooMessenger, FacebookMessenger, WeChat, or any other relevant media.
I may be in Penang, but I send messages to TiLianKer in Pahang, MCA-HQ in KL, and other Leaders in all sorts of Locations.  Actually, I don't even where they are whenever I message them.

(Note: I was once a Bureau Chief at Division, so got to meet many State-level and Central-level Leaders too.  But I did not ask the Division Chief for the post.)

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!

Anwar Ibrahim has done that.  He had brought together a Marriage-of-Convenience among PKR, PAS and DAP.  PAS and DAP cannot see eye to eye, yet Anwar can mitigate.  Anwar CAN think outside the box.
Anwar was as racist as any UMNO Leader.  Remember, he was number 2 at UMNO, and Deputy Prime Minister.  He used to pressure us Chinese. Yet, in his pursuit to overturn the BN Government, he could turnarount from racist-thinking to multi-racial-thinking.

MCA MUST CHANGE!!
I know it is Difficult, almost Impossible.  But this is a matter of survival.


This Saturday, the Presidential Council meets and will decide on the next course of actions.  But is the Presidential Council fair and unbiased? 
I don't know.  I guess many MCA Leaders are now busy contacting some of the Top Leaders to influence the Presidential Council direction and decision.
How many members of Presidential Council are the President's men?  How many will echo the direction and decision of President?
As the President stated his intention of not seeking re-election as President, would some of the Presidential Council members start turning to other prospective future President?  (In politics, there is NO permanent friend, NO permanent enemy.)

I hope the Presidential Council make several Decision which include:
1)  Continue serving and representing the Malaysian Chinese.
2)  Minimise turbulence at the forthcoming Party Elections.
3)  UBAH / CHANGE the MCA!!  (MCA needs a Radical Change.  Call it Reformation, or Transformation, or Reengineering, or Revival.)
4)  Establish an internet-based Think Tank to collect ideas on what and how to change.
5)  Do a Survey to determine what the Malaysian Chinese want from MCA.
6)  Do a Survey among all members on what MCA Members want from MCA.


The above are my wishlist.
