EGM for MCA is off, special briefing instead
By NG SI HOOI


KUALA LUMPUR: Tomorrow’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) for MCA is cancelled. Instead, a special briefing session will be held.

The decision was made after all conflicting factions reached a consensus on fresh elections for the party central committee (CC), said Wong Nai Chee, one of the three CC members who had requisitioned for the EGM.

Wong was speaking at a press conference at Wisma MCA yesterday, which was also attended by the other two requisitionists, Datuk Wee Jeck Seng and Datuk Liew Yuen Keong.

Others present included party leaders supporting the EGM request, such as vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun and Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Wong said the requisitionists felt that party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Liow had reached a consensus on fresh elections for the CC.

This was the result of intensive efforts by Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his deputy Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

“Further, we trust that the AGM scheduled for Dec 5 will be deferred to a date to be fixed in conjunction with the proposed fresh elections.

“We hereby announce the calling off of the Nov 28 EGM which will be replaced with a special briefing session,” Wong said reading from a statement.

Wong added that the MCA Integrity Restoration Task Force thanked all MCA members who had given their support.

“Our objective of having fresh elections has been met due to the support and fighting spirit of our grassroots members,” said Wong.

As arrangements for the EGM venue, travelling and accommodation had been made, Wong said the dinner scheduled for 7.30pm today at Wisma MCA would go ahead as planned.

To a question, Liow urged party members to be “patient” as the “road map” to call for a fresh elections would be revealed as soon as possible.
