周美芬的真情告白 Words from Chew Mei Fun’s heart

千锤万击寒梅飒爽

在马华面对308的挫败后，接棒领导马华妇女组不是一件容易的事，除了必须重整及激发内部士气，也需赢回选民对马华的信心，这才是难上加难！要改变局势不能单靠领袖，需要马华全体成员的一起努力，才能有果！


2007年12月9日前往林明赈灾时发生的那一场车祸，我在面临生死一线的关头中，体会很多，相信能够存活，是因为过去对社会有所贡献！相信上天让我活下来，是因为要我继续服务，提供更多援助给有需要的人。

虽然在本届大选面对以惊人多数票的惨败结果，但从来不曾将败选怪罪于选民。

国阵执政50多年，许多施政方针引起不满，却没有即时解决，让民怨继续升温，直至大选成绩出炉才发现民愿的重要。

回首前任总会长丹斯里黄家定时代所推动的9大政纲和对打造健康政治文化的坚持，可以发现黄家定其实在问题发生前已看到了问题所在，只可惜当时党的价值改造，打造健康政治文化的步伐，无法赶上时代的巨变，改变不了大选的成绩。

因此，我们今天不但必须继续推动打造健康政治文化的工作，更要以无比的毅力，塑造廉洁政治，杜绝贪污腐败。

Resolute in Surmounting All Odds

“Taking over the helm at Wanita MCA in the wake of the major set back suffered by the Party in the last general election March 2008 is no easy task. In addition to revamping and stimulating internal morale, I have been given the daunting task to regain the electorate’s trust and faith in MCA. It is impossible for any one leader to effect an overall change. Instead, I need the concerted effort and undivided support of all in the extended family of MCA to achieve any results.”

At the time of life and death when I was injured in a road accident on my way to support flood relief in Sungai Lembing on 9 Dec 2007, I believe that I survived because of my past contribution to the society.

I believe that my life was spared so that I can continue serving more people who are in need.

Although I suffered a major defeat with a striking loss of majority of votes in the last election, but I have not placed any blame on the voters.

After being in power for over five decades, BN has failed to address the discontentment of the people in respect to many policies and allowed public indignation to continue. Eventually BN realized the importance of the people’s aspiration when the election results were announced.

Looking back at the former MCA president Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting’s 9-Point Party Platform and his determination in creating a healthy political culture, it is evident that Tan Sri Ong had in fact foreseen what and where the problem was. Unfortunately, the process of reform on party values and his vision in creating a healthy political culture then was in fact outpaced by the changes of time and thus could not alter the results of the general election.

Hence, today we must not only continue in our efforts to create a healthy political culture but must also be more determined to demonstrate political integrity and end all forms of corruption.
