MCA rival supporters keep up verbal clash

KUALA LUMPUR: Supporters of the warring camps in the MCA held a flurry of media conferences to argue their cause a day after the party was plunged into greater turmoil following the revamp of the presidential council yesterday.

"Words uttered to the effect of ''chop, slash and burn'' are a distortion of reality. The dramatics of breaking down in public is a political drama," he said.
