Now MCA Got 2 Deputy..?

So how la MCA?
ROS has confirmed Dr Chua Soi Lek was still legally the MCA deputy president.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Registrar of Societies has re-instated Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek as the MCA deputy president.

Dr Chua said he had received a letter from the Registrar of Societies at 11.30am on Tuesday confirming that he was still legally the MCA deputy president.

The letter was passed to him at Wisma MCA here.

Dr Chua, however, refused to comment on the status of Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, who was appointed his replacement.

Meanwhile, four appointed MCA central committee (CC) members were sacked just hours before a key CC meeting on Tuesday.

The four sacked are Deputy Home Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung, national organising secretary Yow Wei How and his deputy Gan Hong Su, and Datuk Chai Kim Sen.

They were among the 16 CC members who had signed a requisition calling for an extraordinary general meeting to decide whether the party should have a fresh elections.

Simon Lim, political secretary to president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, informed them that Ong had terminated their services as CC members at 10.30am on Tuesday.

“All this came as a surprise to us,” said Chor, who noted that Tuesday’s meeting was to discuss an important agenda -- the greater unity plan.

Chor, who was accompanied by the three others at a press conference at Wisma MCA here at 2pm, said the president’s action was a mockery of the greater unity plan he himself had conceived.

He said Ong wanted to get rid of people who did not agree with his views, and reiterated that fresh elections was the best way to resolve the party’s crisis.
