Soi Lek: Ka Ting’s entry will make things worse
MUAR: The introduction of a fourth faction led by Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting into the MCA elections will further complicate and make matters worse, said former deputy party president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
Presently, there are already three, led by Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, Dr Chua and former party vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
“Although anyone including Ka Ting has the right to contest, this will only make matters worse,” he told reporters after attending the swearing-in of 98 village security and development committee (JKKK) heads here yesterday.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha was also at the event.
Dr Chua added that the MCA respected Ka Ting’s acceptance of responsibility for the party’s poor performance in the last general election and decision to retire.
“Since then, he has also not commented on the happenings in MCA. We have great respect for him but the problem in the party will not go away with him coming out,” said Dr Chua.
“This will not stabilise the party but further complicate things,” he said.
On Tee Keat’s decision to defend his position as president, Dr Chua added that he also had the right to do so.
