GENTING HIGHLANDS, Nov 21 – Wanita MCA Chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun hopes the second Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) proposed on Nov 28, would open the prospect of a fresh election for the party leadership.
She said leaders who won in the fresh election can then hold their respective posts with pride and dignity, she said.
“The EGM can decide whether a fresh election is needed and whoever wins posts, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai or (Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, can hold it with dignity,” she told Bernama here today.
Chew who is also deputy minister of Women, Family and Community Development said she was disappointed with the action of MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat for dropping her from the Presidential Council on Wednesday.
She added that although she was invited to be on the Presidential Council again, it would only mean that she would be an invited member without any power to voice out her views.
Chew said it was an embarrassment to her because she was the Wanita Chief in the party and represented 38 per cent of members in MCA but the situation does not give her any opportunity to voice out her views or the views of the ministry.
According to her Senator Heng Seai Kie (Wanita MCA Secretary-general) and Tan Cheng Liang (Central Working Committee) member were appointed to the council while she would only be attending meetings upon invitation.
“They (Heng and Tan) were appointed by me but now they are in the Presidential Council while I, as the Wanita Chief and elected by members, cannot play a role as expected of a Wanita Chief,” she said.
She said it was very important to hold fresh elections in MCA so that the situation can be rectified and the process of helping Barisan Nasional to regain support from the people. – Bernama
