Will hugging the prime minister win votes for the DAP in GE16? If such sandiwara (play acting) can win votes, why did the Umno president’s pat on MCA president Dr Wee Ka Siong’s cheek did not win votes for MCA?
DAP must deliver or face the same fate as MCA in GE16
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 13, 2025: The DAP, with 40 seats in the 222-seat Parliament, and is now in the Government must start delivering reforms.
And after the introduction of the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) some five decades of 50 years, they cannot manipulate Malaysians anymore with rhetoric or promises of change and Government reforms.

To not push for successful reforms is no more an option - as seen in the 17th Sabah Election in which the DAP was wiped out with the overwhelming support of the Chinese votes going to a Muslim leader in Warisan’s Shafie Apdal.
If this is the trend in the next general election (Ge16) due in 2027, then the DAP is likely to lose at least half their parliamentary seats to, perhaps Perikatan Nasional (PN)’s Gerakan and smaller parties like Muda, Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM), other smaller parties and even Independents like Rafizi Ramli and credible activists like Mariam Mokhtar and Siti Kassim.
The Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) was introduced in Malaysia in 1975. The exam system was developed and administered by the United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia, commonly known as Dong Zong, for students in Chinese Independent High Schools.
This move came after the Malaysian government stopped providing standardised examinations in the Chinese language to these institutions in the early 1960s, as part of its push for a single national education system based on the national curriculum and the Bahasa Malaysia language.
Why is the Government so “afraid/fearful” of recognising the UEC?
How does education threaten the national language and the nation?
After 50 years, the racists continue to want to use the UEC for political mileage.
Is DAP imploding as its political image is akin to becoming MCA 2.0

OPINION | An open letter to the Chinese electorate: Don't fall for DAP's tricks
This is a message meant with sincerity, and I hope you read it with the seriousness the moment deserves.
We are now at a crossroads—not just for the Chinese electorate, but for the country itself. How we respond in these coming months will determine whether Malaysia moves toward genuine reform, or sinks deeper into a political culture of illusion, manipulation, and stagnation.
And at the centre of this crossroads stands DAP.
**Integrity vs Illusion: The Oldest Test of Leadership**
Let us begin with a simple truth about character.
A person of integrity—someone truly on your side—behaves in a very predictable way. Even if there are 99 things they cannot do for you and only one thing they can, they will do that one thing. And even while doing it, they will keep searching for ways to eventually deliver the 99 things they couldn’t.
Because the desire to serve you is real.
But a person of low integrity acts very differently.
Even if there are 99 things they can do for you and only one thing they cannot, they will focus on the one impossible thing. They will dramatise it. They will parade it. They will use it as a shield to avoid doing the 99 things that are fully achievable.
And while they insist they are “fighting” for you, the only thing they are truly fighting for is their own survival.
This, in a nutshell, is the danger before the Chinese electorate now.
**DAP Is Panicking — And Panic Produces Bad Instincts**
The Sabah election sent a shockwave through DAP: Chinese voters have proven that their loyalty is no longer unconditional.
When a political party that has long taken your support for granted suddenly realises that you might walk away, it faces a choice:
Do we genuinely reform?
Or do we manipulate sentiment to buy time?
One path benefits the nation.
The other benefits only the party.
**The Light Path: Real, Achievable, Nation-Building Reform**
DAP today holds immense power—40 seats, the largest component in the unity government. It has more influence than at any point in its history.
If it truly wanted to restore faith, it would use this power to push through real reforms:
separate the Prime Minister and Finance Minister roles
separate the Attorney General from the Public Prosecutor
end political interference in MACC, judiciary, and enforcement bodies
Repeal Sosma
These are but a few examples that DAP is capable to achieve with the power it wields in a very short time,
Not only can DAP achieve these reforms, it can likely achieve all of them with support across the aisle. Even the opposition would likely welcome these institutional changes.
If DAP genuinely fights for them, Malaysia can be transformed within six months.
That is the “99 things” DAP can do—right now.
The country wins.
All communities win.
DAP wins.
Everyone wins.
**The Dark Path: Resetting the Mind of the Chinese Electorate**
But there is another route—one that is easier for DAP, but disastrous for the nation.
Instead of doing the hard work of reform, DAP can choose to shift the emotions of the Chinese electorate. How? By aggressively championing a symbolic issue that cannot realistically be resolved in 6 months:
UEC recognition.
This is the classic impossible promise—high in drama, low in deliverability.
And DAP knows it.
UEC recognition is not something that can be forced through instantly. The political, administrative, and societal conditions for recognition must first be built.
So why would DAP suddenly push it so loudly?
Not to achieve it.
But to reset expectations of Chinese voters.
DAP fears that the Chinese electorate believes:
“We put you in power. You should deliver now.”
DAP wants to flip this narrative into:
“The struggle is not over. We’re still fighting. Be patient. Don’t expect results yet.”
In other words:
Rather than deliver any meaningful reforms for the Chinese electorate, as well as the nation and the people, DAP simply wants to change Chinese electorate's perception of it, without delivering anything at all.
By championing something like the UEC, DAP is likely trying to set the conditions where it can appear like a champion of the Chinese community, without actually having to deliver anything.
This is how a political party convinces you that your job is not done—while its own job conveniently remains unfinished.
UEC becomes a convenient distraction, a theatrical battle, a way to look heroic while achieving nothing.
You are made to feel guilty for expecting results.
And DAP escapes accountability by playing the victim of circumstance.
**The Chinese Electorate Must Not Allow It**
If DAP takes the dark path:
racial tensions will rise
real reforms will stall
nothing concrete will be delivered
and the only victor will be DAP’s political machinery
This is not what the community needs.
This is not what Malaysia needs.
This is not what reform looks like.
The Chinese electorate must recognise this tactic and refuse to be manipulated into another cycle of blind loyalty.
Instead, insist that DAP use its enormous power for reforms that actually strengthen the nation:
institutional independence
rule of law
anti-corruption frameworks
structural checks and balances
If DAP does these things, it will earn the support of all races.
And only then will issues like UEC recognition become genuinely possible—not immediately, but steadily, sustainably, and permanently.
**Ultimately, the Knife Is in Your Hands**
DAP today is like a sharp knife.
In the hands of a wise wielder, it can build, cut through stagnation, and shape a better future.
But in the hands of a panicked wielder, it can injure even the one who holds it.
In the old days, they say the a sword has a spirit within. If the wielder of the sword can tame the spirit, it can work wonders for the wielder of the sword.
However, if the spirit of the sword possesses the wielder, it will madden the wielder, and lead the wielder to not only harm everybody else, but also themselves.
In this example, DAP is the spirit of the sword while you, the Chinese electorate, are the wielder of the sword is you.
It is the Chinese voters who must grip their sword with strength, and make it do their bidding, and not let it possess them, and allow it to wag the dog.
The Chinese voters have the power to insist on light over darkness, reform over drama, substance over theatrics.
The next six months will reveal everything.
Let us see how the cookie crumbles.
