LING LIONG SIK
He is the epitome of village headman bought over with money and whisky to keep the natives in line.
As the most useless leader ever to do nothing for the people he represents, Ling Liong Sik has no equal. This political hack was only interested in maintaining the status quo while he went about the serious business of gathering wealth. And what an embarrassment of riches it has been with his son coming from nowhere to be an instant billionaire at the age of 27. On issues affecting the Chinese, you will not find this timorous leader speaking out whether it was the Nipah virus devastating the pig industry, non-acceptance of Chinese High School Certificates or criticism of too many Chinese movies in Astro.
In fact he was ready and willing to accept erosion in Chinese rights and mortgaging of Chinese future to maintain his personal position, a fine example being his declaration that TAR college will not be upgraded to university status. Ling was the towering epitome of the village headman who has been bought over by outside colonizers to keep the natives in line. Besides a genius at doing nothing, his other skills included the fine art of carrying Mahathir’s balls on whom he depended to protect his position and keep a lid on his corruption.
It must be a bitter irony to the Chinese that this bogus leader who claimed to represent them was elected from a Malay dominated electorate. To Mahathir he was the perfect running dog in the so-called partnership of the Barisan Nasional – a convenient eyewash for power sharing and an apologist for Umno, never asking for anything for the Chinese and never critical of any government policies against Chinese interests. A more putrid, self-serving politician you could not find.
SAMY VELLU
Architect of the MAIKA Telecom shares scandal, Samy Vellu proves that corruption pays in Malaysia.
Samy Vellu is to the Indians what Ling Liong Sik is to Chinese. After more than 20 years of Samy Vellu at the helm of the MIC, Indians remain economically backward and left behind in Malaysia’s economic growth. Trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, they have no financial, commercial or industrialized structure, marginalised in every economic field and in danger of becoming an underclass. Despite the burden on the low income, Samy Vellu goes round the country opening and justifying road tolls, a super-apologist for the rich cronies set on milking the public and derisively berating those who criticized the proliferation of toll booths.
His shinning achievement is the extension of Kamunting Berhad’s concession to collect toll at Jalan Kuching in exchange for nothing despite the concession period having expired and company having recouped many times its original investment. And let’s not forget Samy Vellu’s role in hijacking MAIKA’s Telecom shares to three unknown companies controlled by his proxy in 1990 thus depriving the agency entrusted with uplifting Indians of an estimated RM70 million in profits.
Although Samy Vellu has done nothing for his race and got rich in the process just like Ling, he is a little more outspoken than the timorous Ling who would never stick an inch of his political neck out for the people he represents. Ling must certainly be ranked above Samy in evil as he betrayed a larger group of people (30% of the population as against 10%) and he has enriched himself far more than Samy.
