Whose interests do MCA, MIC and Gerakan truly represent?

An interesting point of view of the current racial & religious divide, from the perspective of the non-Malay, non-Muslim Barisan National parties, namely MCA and Gerakan. By default, MIC as well.

"It's not that they are out of touch with the sentiments on the ground. Rather, they are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. Speak up against UMNO and anger 'Big Brother', or keep silent and disappoint your constituency. It's obvious that the leaders of these parties have concluded it's far better not to cross Big Brother."

Sounds just about right, doesn't it?
