MCA: Where it is heading?

Dr Chua Surprised With Sudden Emergence Of Former President In Presidential Race

MUAR, March 14 (Bernama) -- Former MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek expressed surprise over the sudden emergence of former MCA President Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting, in the Presidential race, scheduled for March 28.
Dr Chua said it was against Ka Ting's stand that he did not want to be involved in party matters anymore when announcing his decision to quit politics.
"In fact as the former party president, he had remained silent when the party was going through a serious crisis," he told reporters after meeting 400 community leaders in Jalan Bakri here Sunday.
As the immediate past President, Ka Ting should have come forward to assist when the party was facing problems right from the start but strangely, he has suddenly come forward to claim that he was ready to help, he said.
"This will further split the party," he said.
However, just like incumbent MCA President Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, party members and Ka Ting have their rights to contest for the presidency, he said.

tunku : it is not surprising that some MCA members wants ong ka ting to return as he still has his supporters.the question here will MCA return back to its glory days with ka ting as the president? the answer is absolutely no.even with ong tee kiat, chua soi lek, liow tiong lai MCA will not close ranks.it will still be divided unless the leaders mentioned can sit down and think for the party interest before theirs. they will still be factions in MCA.the top leaders should sacrifice for the sake of the party and might need third party solution to patch things up in MCA. if not MCA will never come back strong.they will remain weak and will be the spoiler for the BN.
