Dear Tay,
What are MCA leaders doing? When the world has forgotten them, they reappeared on headlines. They cried and begged, as if something is happening.
How long would the show last?

A tired reader Huazai
Dear Huazai,
I was a bit confused during Chinese New Year and went to watch a film Happy Home 2010.
The pretence of Raymond Wong Bak-Ming, the affectation of Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and the awkward acting of Louis Koo Tin-Lok, together with the other so-called supporting "actors and actresses", they were like idiots trying to tell a story.
It was not necessary as just after the film had started for about 10 minutes, I already knew what would happen in the following 82 minutes.
In order to express my respect for the film industry, as well as my appreciation for the money that I had paid for the ticket (in fact, it was quite comfortable in the air-conditioned cinema), I did not leave half-way.
After about 25 minutes, I started to feel sleepy. Even hot actress Lynn Xiong Dai-Lin, who was covered in gauze, could not help to stimulus my senses.
On the 26th minute, I fell asleep. It was already the 72nd minute when I woke up.
As a result, just as expected, I could still catch up with the story even though I had missed the middle part.
I mean to say that people can usually guess the ending of a film which has no creativity after they have seen its opening.
As for the middle part of the film, it does not worth mentioning at all because of the poor storyline and acting.
Oops, are we talking about MCA?
The conclusion has been made five months ago, when the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) was held on 10 Oct last year. The results of the EGM have decreed a fresh elections.
Moreover, the script cannot be simply changed under the concern of the Big Brother.
The question is, some people just can't accept it. The 30-minute show has been extended to 90 minutes. The party crisis (some people called it a children's fight) that should be ended last year may only be ended before the end of March this year.
They have been idling and wasting resources in the past few months. The leader, who has lost his popularity, went further to become a laughing stock while the image of the popular young leaders have been tarnished.
Most tragically, MCA has been transferred to the intensive care unit from the general ward. Whether it is going to die or live, its future is uncertain.
Today's situation has been doomed.
Therefore, you do not have to ask how long the show will last. Just take a rest.
As for the new situation, it is actually the same old faces. Just that even though some people are going to take the office, it is not going to be a glory. You can see scars on their faces.
However, despite the show is boring, there is still something interesting.
It is not the crying or begging part as you mentioned. Instead, you can look at the supporting actresses . Even though they are not playing the leading role, they really play their characters wholeheartedly.
These female compatriots show the ties of comradeship by standing by the side of their hero leader until the very end of the show. They are the lovely ones after all. This is a windfall. (By TAY TIAN YAN/Translated by SOONG PHUI JEE/Sin Chew Daily)
