Watch the interview on Malaysiakini TV for optimum shock effect.
Want to know why Chew Mei Fun declined to take part in the PJU debate planned for by the PJUgetanmp group?
Now you need not look beyond the Malaysiakini report entitled ‘Question time : PJU’s Chew vs Pua’ ( question-time_-pjus-chew-vs-pua.pdf )
It is a startling reminder of what will eventually happen if MPs spend too much time gazing at longkangs!
Check out the following questions and the answers of the 2 contestants.
Question : Will you support the idea of retaining subsidies of oil and other essential items?
‘Yes, I think so’
‘I think the subsidy system at this point in time needs to be readjusted as such that it benefits the poor and marginalised more and less so the wealthy. So for example the subsidy system in existence benefits more of the wealthy because they use the product more, then it is an unfair allocation of resources. So we believe in a system whereby grants are given directly to the poor and to the lower middle income to cope with the rising price increases. They are targetted and controlled, you won’t find leakages. For example our subsidised diesel being sold by fishermen from Malaysia to Indonesian fishermen. So that is the problem with the existing subsidy system and those need to be resolved’
Question : Will you support the idea of abolishing the New Economic Policy (NEP)?
‘I thought the NEP has already ended…’
‘Absolutely. We believe that the NEP as it stands today favours the rich, wealthy and influential particularly from the bumiputra community. It does not benefit the bulk majority of the bumiputras as well as the non-bumiputras in this country. So inequality in the country has been increasing rapidly and only with opposition and it’s replacement with a policy that focuses on merit and needs, will the equality be reduced’
Question : Will you support that Petronas’ accounts be made public?
‘I thought they already have their annual report. I thought the annual report is actually the accounts for (listed) companies to disclose to everybody’
‘Absolutely. I think it is important because Petronas controls a huge amount of wealth of the nation. Oil resource of the country belongs to the people and Petronas being the agent that manages the oil wealth of the country must be transparent for the people in order to show that the money has been invested and reinvested and distributed fairly’
Two experts in their respective fields.
One, longkangs.
The other, economics and national finance management.
People, please take time out to read the report in its entirety. It is testimony of how irresponsible PJU voters were last time round.

I’ll take this chance to add that Tony’s stand on fuel subsidies is the only sane, sensible and rational one adopted by anyone throughout this campaign. I was very disappointed that BN clings to this idea that it’s acceptable to tell the poor to bugger off, and that other opposition parties cling to the idea that fuel subsidies are actually on the whole beneficial for the nation.
I hope Tony thrashes Chew at the polls on 8 March, and I urge everyone to support the men and women of Barisan Rakyat – especially those like Tony.

Chew Mei Fun, a so called 2 term elected representative of PJ Utara, talks a lot but delivers little when it comes to doing something in relation to national issues. I have neither heard nor seen her moving a motion to get IPCMC put into action.
As for NEP and Petronas annual reports, her lack of understanding on what is dear to the interests of the rakyat is quite telling. To pretend one is abolished (yet very much alive and permeating in all the national policymakers agendas) and the other, publicly available (but forgotten to add that the annual report ends at page 80, where glossary of terms is, while the financial statements conspicuously missing) tells us how much she cares for the rakyat.
See:
http://www.petronas.com.my/internet/corp/centralrep2.nsf/Src/WebDoc*Investor+Relations+Default/?Open
So people of PJ Utara, please remember to vote with your conscience who really cares for you? I may not be registered to vote in PJ Utara but where I am registered, PAS and PKR will be getting my votes.

My God, Chew Mei Fun does not even know that Petronas is not a public listed company and therefore does not publish accounts for public view and scrutiny.
She does not deserve to be MP for PJU. The residents of PJU deserve better than that.
Lets vote a Real MP Tony Pua into Parliament. At last PJU residents will have an MP that we all can be proud of.
Longkang Vs Financial Expert. No fight lah!

Haris,
It’s very obvious from this Q&A why she declined the invitation by PJU folks for a joint forum with Tony Pua.She can hardly articulate national issues.People should watch the same interview on MalaysiakiniTV too,
It’s apparent she is unable to give accurate answers and doesn’t sound confident .
She isn’t even aware that Petronas(the holding company) ,is not a listed company on the stock exchange!

Yes Haris, You put it very Simply for the PJU Voters to decide between a “Longkang expert” and an Economics and Finance expert in Parliament….Now the big Question is: Will the Voters of Petaling Jaya Utara, who are supposedly among the most educated Electorate in the Country, show the rest of the Country the way?…Thanks to people like you, Haris and RPK, from the Civil Society, I think that they have woken up from that 9 year long deep slumber. The alarm clocks in PJU have been ringing incessantly since Nomination day on February the 24th. This time around WE are going to JUST CHANGE!!

Hiak chew la Chow Hor Fun! what stunned me is the way she answers the questions posed to her. All of them are bloody short and does not show an ounce of intelligence or critical thinking. Bloody stupid bee-yach! no wonder the country is so screwed after 50 yrs independance. I keep a list of BN goons rank in order of stupidity. Congrats to CMF, you just jump a few steps and now residing in between Dollah n Zamzam Maidin which is quite high up the list actually. Keep em coming guys.

Haris,
Thanks sooooooo much for this. This is really going to help…
I’m on a fast-and-pray that Tony wins. It’ll be such a shame otherwise, but let’s not get carried away. Chew Mei Fun is still very strong (accident notwithstanding -in fact it might boost her standing). She is one of the more important MCA women today and one senses that she will not be ALLOWED to be so easily defeated. What I’m implying, yes, is that this seat will be closely-watched and who knows how what powers-that-be can interfere.
Pleeaaaseeee help us tell all your friends.

Being a PJ Utara resident, I have met Chew Mei Fun on a couple of occassions. She is smart and is very dedicated to what she does. Unfortunately being with MCA and coalition environment, she has not been given the opportunity to be groomed and nor allowed to bloom. Furthermore, her answers shows that she has to toe the party lines, too. In my view, she is marginalised(by race and sex perhaps). Afterall MCA is a boys club.After 50 years and 50% of your voters being women, you have not produced a single women cabinet minister? To MCA, I asked: Why is it that Chew Mei Fun not being trained and groomed as a MP to look into national issues? Why does not Barisan with all their huge financial war chest not train their MPs? and support them with strategists and think tanks? Chew Mei Fun is in a marginalised position, putting in so much time and effort into her work that she has no time for personal development and yet she gets so little in return.
I also refer to PJ Selatan MCA candidate Donald Lim’s lacklustre answers in the debate at St Francis Church last week.
My conclusion is if MCA cannot even groom their keyman and keywoman who are earmarked future leaders, can we leave the future of our country in their hands?

Well the cat is out of the Bag. A blunder by PJ Utara people the last time in elections of 2004 is being shown now. Mei Fun is not only stupid, she is making a fool of herself. The failure to understand basic economics of fuel, subsidy as well as knowledge of Petrona accounts indicates these are the type of people our lives will be dictated if we vote them into office. Non intelligent and failure to represent our views in parliament are representatives that we do not need and we should not vote for.

Please ask CMF why she issue threat to voters in chinese papers that if MCA lost in the election, then voters are threaten with another racial clash something like may 13. We intellegient voters in PJ are not being frighten by this threat. She is so low in mentality to use this out dated threat against chinese voters. Please refer to the chinese papers regarding this threat and I advise Tony Pua to use this issue against her. Tony Pua should print out Malaysia today readers comment against her threat and show these to all the voters in PJ.

An mp is not only someone who takes care of his/her constituent but must also be well verse with many aspects of the socio, political and economic landscapes of the country.
As good as she has been portrayed by some, she just like any other bn’s politicians are typically people :
with eyes but do not see
with mouth that do not speak.
And
With these qualities what can they stand for –
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
Throw a perfume into a cesspool and it will still smell like shit, so to speak.

call her go back fry bee hoon please, we had given her a 4 years to voice out in Parliament, end up what she is doing? as usual as others MCA MP
NEP no more? i think he got bribe by UMNO or she was benefit under NEP, therefore NEP doesn’t exist in her dictionary.
if she is DAP MP, different story

I had a chat not too long ago with an ex-MCA top brass who happened to be the dad of a friend, who told me in MCA you speak publicly what is safe so as not to upset u-know-who. You cannot speak freely because of your BN connection, period!
An opposition though can talk more freely (with certain restrictions as well).
Anyway, my vote goes to the objective of a more balanced legislation!

Dear Lord, that is glaringly shocking! For ages, the politicians were those who could talk but not necessarily produce evidence to back their facts.
It’s so refreshing to see the responses from Tony Pua who knows his issues well.

Flabbergasted!!!! Loss for words!!!
CMF thinks that NEP no longer exists??!!! She is from Mars or what?
She is either pretending or plain dumb.
Her areas of interests lie no further than organising line dancing classes, pre-marital courses, taking care if clogged drains,fixing street lamps, mending potholes.
Knowledge on National issues = zilch/zero/kosong
Not that she is not fighting these issues for us, she doesn’t even know they exist…hhahahahaa..
What a laughing stock MP.
PJU residents, when you voted her in 9 years,, this is what you get..an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE about her ignorance.

Can someone tell allthe BN MP hopefuls to stop bullshitting about how they are going to be talking on our behalf. According to the UMNO’s orders to their own MPs and State Assemblymen and women their only concern should be to ensure their drains are not clogged up and their roads are tarred and their rubbish is collected. There is nothing to talk.
Just ask Sothinathan what happened tohim when he did try to talk. Suspended! Devamany! Brought before the whip and then he becomes suddenly enlightened. Zaid Ibrahim. Gets dropped off.
A good BN MP is one who is seen but not heard!. And if and when you do get heard its only if you spout out vulgarities and sexist statements. Nazri is another good BN MP who screams “Racist” 41 times. You become a better MCA or MIC MP when you keep quiet when they draw a keris at you. You get the drift!

Trouble is some people actually care more about their neighbourhood longkang than about parliamentary accountability. That is why we’ve been having crap MPs and ADUNs all this time.
Under BN, MPs and ADUNs can only be crap. If they try to be more, they are censured and dropped. Only Barisan Rakyat can deliver better representatives.
For the future of the nation, vote Barisan Rakyat.

My sympathy to CMF.
She is koret to say NEP (New Economic Policy) has ended. She forgot about the Never Ending Policy lah.
Her knowledge and perception of ecomomy, socio-political issues can only be summarised in one word – longkang deep.
