  • Tee Keat Denies He Will Join DAP the Malaysian Insider January 15 , 2012 by Yow Hong Chieh
    Tee Keat denies he will join DAP The Malaysian Insider January 15 , 2012 By Yow Hong Chieh KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 15 — Former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has dismissed rumours that he intends to leave MCA for opposition party DAP. The Pandan MP told Bernama Online he had met with opposition leaders recently but denied holding any talks with them about joining Pakatan Rakyat (PR). “Previously, they said I will join PKR. After that was proven to be not true, they said I will join the DAP on January 20. What next, PAS?” the state news agency quoted him as saying today. Online news portals claimed last October that Ong (picture) had met with opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Selangor DAP chief Teresa Kok separately, possibly to discuss his defection to PR. The Pandan MP, however, denied the reports. In a interview published by an English-language daily last week, Ong vowed to defend his seat — where he remains popular with voters — even if he is dropped as a candidate by MCA. The Star today reported MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek as saying he Ong would have to submit a request to the party and Barisan Nasional (BN) if the latter wished to contest in the next general election. Ong’s denial today comes after two MCA grassroots leaders closely linked to him — Penang MCA Youth chief Eng Hiap Boon and Johor MCA’s Taman Desa Skudai Flats deputy chairman James Wu Chee Heng — quit the party.

  • Mong La: Business As Usual in the China-Myanmar Borderlands
    Mong La: Business as Usual in the China-Myanmar Borderlands Alessandro Rippa, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich Martin Saxer, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich The aim of this project is to lay the conceptual groundwork for a new understanding of the positionality of remote areas around the globe. It rests on the hypothesis that remoteness and connectivity are not independent features but co-constitute each other in particular ways. In the context of this project, Rippa and Saxer conducted exploratory fieldwork together in 2015 along the China-Myanmar border. This collaborative photo essay is one result of their research. They aim to convey an image of Mong La that goes beyond its usual depiction as a place of vice and unruliness, presenting it, instead, as the outcome of a particular China-inspired vision of development. Infamous Mong La It is 6:00 P.M. at the main market of Mong La, the largest town in the small autonomous strip of land on the Chinese border formally known in Myanmar as Special Region 4. A gambler from China’s northern Heilongjiang Province just woke up from a nap. “I’ve been gambling all morning,” he says, “but after a few hours it is better to stop. To rest your brain.” He will go back to the casino after dinner, as he did for the entire month he spent in Mong La. Like him, hundreds of gamblers crowd the market, where open-air restaurants offer food from all over China. A small section of the market is dedicated to Mong La’s most infamous commodity— wildlife.

  • Tee Keat Says Never Specified BN Platform the Malaysian Insider March 17, 2012 by Yow Hong Chieh
    Tee Keat says never specified BN platform The Malaysian Insider March 17, 2012 By Yow Hong Chieh KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has clarified that while he planned to contest in Pandan again in the next general election, it remains to be seen if it will be on a Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket. The former MCA president pointed out it would be up to BN chairman Datuk Seri Najib Razak to decide if he could contest under the ruling coalition’s banner in the polls, which must be called by April next year. “What I remarked was I would continue to serve my constituents till the end of my... present term on the BN platform,” he said in a short statement today. “I uphold the principle that since I was elected on a BN ticket in 2008, it would be grossly irresponsible for me not to serve my entire tenure on the same platform... despite the ordeals I have experienced in my political career.” Ong also stressed that the platform he would contest on was secondary to his commitment and loyalty to the people, especially the Pandan electorate. The Malay Mail reported yesterday that the popular Pandan MP had said he had no plans to leave BN and would contest under the ruling coalition as the welfare of his constituents was a key concern. According to the daily, however, Ong had not confirmed if he would represent MCA or another BN component party in the next general election, the nation’s 13th. “I am not jumping ship.

By Choong Pui Yee Synopsis New MCA president Chua Soi Lek has recently ruffled the feathers of UMNO and the Malay-rights group Perkasa. Are we witnessing the formerly disgraced politician positioning himself as a Chinese community hero? If so, what are the implications for Malaysia’s coalition politics? Commentary THE NEWLY-ELECTED Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) President Chua Soi Lek has been in the limelight recently for his outspoken comments and proposals. These have ruffled the feathers of MCA’s main political ally in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) alliance, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), and Perkasa, a spirited Malay-rights group. In less than a month, he has courted controversy by alleging that the most corrupt countries are Muslim-majority countries and by calling for the gradual abolition of pro-Malay affirmative policies at the MCA’s Chinese Economic Congress earlier in August. To top it all, Chua has even implied that some UMNO leaders are still trapped in mindsets of the past.

  • The Door Behind the Bamboo Curtain – Chinese Law and Policy on Refugee Status
    THE DOOR BEHIND THE BAMBOO CURTAIN – CHINESE LAW AND POLICY ON REFUGEE STATUS BY LILI SONG A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2014) ABSTRACT This thesis systematically considers the law and policy on refugee status in the People’s Republic of China. It considers relevant Chinese legal provisions, applicable bilateral and multinational treaties, as well as China’s refugee policy and practice. It also presents and analyses first-hand information collected through interviews with refugees and aid workers. China is an emerging destination of refugees and other displaced foreigners. Although China is a party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, Chinese law contains no provisions governing the definition of a refugee or the determination of refugee status. Further, there is a gap between the criteria for asylum in the 1982 Chinese Constitution and the criteria for refugee status in the 1951 Convention. In practice, although the Chinese government has generally allowed the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to process individual applications for refugee status, the Chinese government has practically performed the function of refugee status determination in large-scale influx situations through policy decisions. In these situations, the security, political, and strategic interests of China have often overshadowed China’s commitment under the 1951 Convention. China has been cautious about recognising refugees on its territory. However, the Chinese government has clearly demonstrated a growing interest in addressing the issue of refugee recognition within a more formalised framework.
