WE’RE starting a new section today. Inspired by Ernest Hemingway‘s genius, the Six Words On… section challenges readers to give us their comments about a current issue, contemporary personality or significant event in just six words.
The idea behind the section is to get readers engaged in an issue that The Nut Graph identifies, while having fun and being creatively disciplined — being concise is harder than ranting out a 1,000-word comment.
We’re kicking off the section with six words on MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek since he’s such a lightning rod for brickbats and bouquets.
To contribute, send in your six-word comment in the comments section below. Each comment must be exactly six words long. No shorter nor longer. It can be in either English or Malay or both. All comments will be moderated as per our comments policy.
To start the ball rolling on our inaugural Six Words On…, the collective wit of The Nut Graph has produced these gems on Chua.
Cindy Tham:
Time to quit the no-role job!
Caught between rock and hard place.
Gan Pei Ling:
Unwanted in MCA/BN? Jom masuk PR!
Jacqueline Ann Surin:
MCA leader with no political twilight.
Shanon Shah:
Won the race. Losing the game?
Won big. Got screwed. Now what?
One lousy video. Still paying big.
Video killed the rising MCA star.
Pemimpin tenang jangan disangka tiada sengat.
Zedeck Siew:
Hotel room sex vid? Link please!
Join the fun. Give us your six words on Chua. 
The Nut Graph has fun working.
No point whining, just change affiliation.
Where would he go from here?
Playing the game; always a player.
Leave “Holy Saint” BN, join PR.
Out of the circle, world widens.
Your privacy concerns us. Join PR.
Take the gamble, can’t lose more!
A leopard cannot change its spots.
In out, in out, in out.
Another politician with a sex video.
Good’s good, needless to say more.
Don’t delay, jump when you’re unappreciated.
Doc take the pill, join DAP.
Bad video art can hurt politics.
What are you doing in MCA?
Politician in search of new partner.
Seasoned politician, will smile for camera.
Quit and be a better man!
Let your conscience speak loudly, succinctly.
Chua knows: politicians make strange bedfellows.
Resign/retire, don’t rot in MCA.
You unnecessarily burdened Malaysians with Meditag!
I LOVE this one by Vikraman: “Your privacy concerns us. Join PR.”
Lol!
Mine would be:
“What are you waiting for la?”
“But will DAP make me Vice-Chairperson?”
and of course, “Talent draining away due to cronyism.”
Too sexy for my old age.
Too sexy for my white hair.
I’ve been servicing the community.
“Who’s your Daddy?” – Chua Soi Lek
Your predicament insults MCA’s democracy. Jump!
Sex, politics and videotapes. Now selling.
Political leper parties should not touch.
Exposed, but still one to bicker.

Go into exile never to return.
(Off topic: You a guys should do like a weekly six word challenge, meaner topic and SMS in 50 sen to enter. Winner takes the pot. I’d so enter.)
This space is reserved for six-word entries from our wonderful readers, but in the interest of sharing ideas by bright entrepreneurial/competitive sparks, we’re going to approve this one.

I’m big enough to admit it.
Delegates have decided, president has not.
Who’s in power, delegates or president?
Too sexy even for Astro’s AXN.
Anything I can do, can you ?
