马华蒲种八里蒂莎古仔支会主席高祥威博士指出，政坛风云变幻，党员跳槽现象屡见不鲜，尤其一些曾在党内拥有地位、贡献卓著者，最终选择另投他党，背后常涉及遭受差别对待、人际关系冷漠，或看不到个人发展的前景。

他说，这些经历和感受，是每一位曾积极参与党务者可能面对的现实处境。

“在东南亚民主制度的政党环境下，不少青年对政治组织与领袖心生怨怼，甚至形成派系斗争、内部矛盾不断，最终在无谓纷争中被牺牲，或选择退党、出走，甚至另起炉灶。”

他表示，在政治圈内，很难以“合情合理”来衡量得失，因此更应学会放下个人恩怨，冷静思考后，继续秉持“以民为本”的信念，服务社会。

高祥威日前出席马华蒲种八里蒂莎古仔支会常年大会上，发表上述谈话。

他指出，在政治领域，个人的付出往往难以与回报成正比，缺乏应有的理解与人情回馈，也鲜有“皆大欢喜”的局面。

“这正是许多青年对政治避而远之的原因之一。”

他是在回应政治学习班学员提出的“如何面对政治中的无谓插曲”及“如何讨回公道、重拾动力”等提问时，作出上述回应。

他说，政治领域难有“清流”，必须学会坦然面对，把不满、抱怨和情绪放在心底，唯有如此，方能争取更多为民服务的空间。

他勉励党员，应始终以“开心问政”心态参与政治，不必活在他人的影子下，而应自我鞭策，坚守初衷。

马华蒲种八里蒂莎古仔支会成立迄今已52年，见证蒲种八里地区的城市发展及金銮花园新住宅区的诞生。

此次常年大会吸引逾40位党员出席，包括支会署理主席李键芬、妇女组主席罗玉群，以及马华梳邦区会主席赵启兴和区会妇女组主席潘美伶等人

Dr. Koh Siang Wee, president of the Puchong Barisan Nasional branch of Mahkota Malaysia, pointed out that it was not uncommon to see members of the party jumping from one party to the next as the political scene was changing, especially when those who had once held a position of prominence within the party and had contributed significantly to the party's successes eventually chose to join other parties, which often involved being treated differently, having cold interpersonal relationships, or not seeing any prospects for personal development.

These experiences and feelings, he said, are the realities that everyone who has been actively involved in party affairs may face.

“In the political party environment of Southeast Asian democracies, many young people resent political organizations and leaders, and even form factional struggles and internal conflicts, and are ultimately sacrificed in unnecessary disputes, or choose to quit the party, run away, or even start a new one.”

He said, in the political circle, it is difficult to “reasonable and rational” to measure the gains and losses, so it is more important to learn to put aside personal grudges, calmly think about it, and continue to uphold the faith of “people-oriented” to serve the community.

Koh Cheung-wai made the remarks at the annual general meeting of MCA Puchong Bali Tissa Kuchai Branch.

He pointed out that in the political arena, personal commitment is often not proportional to the return, and there is a lack of understanding and humane feedback, as well as a lack of “all's well that ends well”.

“This is one of the reasons why many young people shy away from politics.”

He made the remarks in response to questions raised by participants of a political study course, such as “how to face unnecessary interruptions in politics” and “how to seek justice and regain motivation”.

He said that it is difficult to find “clean water” in politics, and that we must learn to face it frankly and keep our dissatisfaction, complaints and emotions at the bottom of our hearts, and only in this way can we strive for more room to serve the people.

He urged party members to always participate in politics with a “Happy Politics” mindset, and not to live in the shadow of others, but to spur themselves on to stay true to their original intentions.

It has been 52 years since the establishment of MCA Puchong Bali Tisaguru Chai Branch, witnessing the urban development of Puchong Bali and the birth of the new residential area of Kam Luang Garden.

The Annual General Meeting was attended by more than 40 members, including Acting Chairperson of the Branch, Ms. Lee Kin Fan, Chairperson of the Women's Section, Ms. Lo Yuk Kwan, as well as Chairperson of MCA Subang District Council, Mr. Chiu Kai Hing, and Chairperson of the Women's Section, Ms. Poon Mei-Ling, among others.
