Nobody's listening to this guy

Poor Zahid. Nobody wants to listen to him.

Zahid Hamidi has called on UMNO and MCA to stop bickering. But nobody's listening to him. That shows how much authority he has over BN. Heck, he can't even get BN's state reps in Perlis to fall in line with his directive that they should accept the ruler's choice of MB there.

UMNO Supreme Council member Tajuddin Abdul Rahman added fuel to the fire saying:

"Where are UMNO’s faults? UMNO tak ada salah, MCA yang salah."

Meanwhile MCA Publicity Bureau Chairman Chai Kim Sen expressed regret at Annuar Musa's incendiary response to Wee Ka Siong's comments relating to the MCA-UMNO relationship:

"This is precisely the type of behaviour that became the impetus of Barisan’s downfall."

And so the bickering has begun. There will always be MCA leaders who are forever prepared to grovel at the feet of UMNO but it seems like Wee is pretty determined to carve a more independent role for MCA than to be UMNO's "little brother".
