DAP's accusations that MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong "did not raise questions during the Parliamentary briefing" and "was absent from the Malaysia-United States trade agreement session" are a deliberate distraction from the real issue, that is, the content and implications of the Malaysia-US Agreement on Reciprocal Trade.
As a member of Parliament, Dr Wee has both the right and the duty to question the government on matters of national sovereignty and economic security. The real concern lies in how the government explains and justifies the agreement's terms and certainly not the manner in which Dr Wee raises his questions. What matters are the government's answers, not political theatrics.
