MCA thrown into a state of chaos

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 – Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai admitted tonight that MCA’s central committee was against the idea of fresh elections, as shifting alliances and party infighting pushed the MCA to the brink of collapse.

In a dramatic turn of events, supporters of Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek are now understood to be backing his bitter rival Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat’s push for fresh elections as a way out of the impasse.

“The central committee had discussed fresh elections but most of us did not agree because we need a way to stabilise the party.

“The central committee unanimously elected me to fill the vacancy of deputy president and I accept it with a heavy heart and vow to carry on my duty to consolidate the party and push for reforms,” said Liow tonight. - + selanjutnya
