Very sad that he is not a candidate.
I wish OTK will join pakatan rakyat.
PANDAN: Incumbent Pandan MP Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat (pix) is not listed as a possible candidate under MCA to defend the parliamentary seat.
MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Leksaid Wednesday that Ong did not have the support from all the component parties in his constituency, which the latter had held for five terms.
“Ong doesn't have the support of his own division,” Dr Chua told reporters after attending a Chinese New Year open house organised by Pandan MCA here on Wednesday.
“Ong's name is not in the list prepared by the division, and I am dependant on the list prepared by the division,” he added.
He also introduced 39-year-old lawyer Gary Lim to reporters as MCA's choice of candidate for the constituency.
