According to reports in the Chinese press, the third force is gearing up to bring down both Ong and Chua and to install a new team at the helm.
"Its (the third force's) plans are to get the first and second resolutions (vote of no-confidence against Ong and reinstate Chua as a party member) passed but reject the third resolution (reinstate Chua to his party post)," sources said.
They pointed out that the third force is a combination of veterans and the currently neutral faction in the party.
Its members are said to include both former Team A and Team B members such as former deputy president Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy, former secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan and former vice-president Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai.
The report said Chan could not be reached for comment but Lim, when contacted, said he had no knowledge of the so-called third force, and quipped that he was just a "small fry".
Lim, who is Petaling Jaya Selatan division chief, added that he is watching the developments in the leadership tussle closely but is not personally involved. He also said the division will make a decision on who to support at the ballot box.

However, a pro-Chua central delegate told Oriental Daily that central delegates have a clear stand and said the third force would not have a significant impact on the outcome of the EGM on Oct 10.
EGM Action Committee chief coordinator Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho also said he had no knowledge of a third force coming into the picture.
Meanwhile, China Press reported that both Ong's and Chua's men, worried that the third force might throw a spanner in the works, are calling on central delegates to make up their mind to either support Ong or Chua.
The daily said the third force commands the support of about 10% of the some 2,400 central delegates who are able to vote in the EGM, big enough to upset both Ong and Chua come Oct 10.
In the meantime, both Ong and Chua have intensified their efforts to win the fence-sitters while making sure they keep whatever support they have already garnered.
Pro-Chua EGM action committee chief coordinator Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho said today he was not aware of the existence of the third force.
"I believe the delegates will only choose one side to support. Even if there is such a force, it will not be strong enough to cause an impact," he said after attending the EGM coordination meeting chaired by party secretary-general Datuk Wong Foon Meng today.
Asked if the third force was backed by some party veterans, Tan said: "I have no idea. My main task is to meet the delegates and fish more votes. I must let the delegates understand the real situation so that they can make a rational decision in the EGM."
Let's analyse the spins produced by these clowns in SUN or perhaps directed by UMNO ?
Let's take a look at what I have previously written about these so called Third Force
Chua won because many delegates were disillusioned with the Ong Brothers Sdn Bhd and also with the help from Chua Jui Meng's supporters who didn't like to see a Ong Dynasty taking over . Help from the Rotten Fish Head ? Mua Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!
Today the Sun is spinning Third force in MCA moving to install new team , consisting of former deputy president Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy, former secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan and former vice-president Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai.
Can these former leaders wield so much power as to tilt the balance of power to become a force ? Please lah write more creditable and believable stories . The way you people in the SUN write such reports , I say please lah go back to school . You are all writing like novices just out of primary school .
On Chan Kong Choy , from the recent interview by PAC , I think he has better things to do rather than getting involved in politics again . At least he knows when to call it a day rather than someone who does not know when to exit quietly and with all his audience clamouring for more scenes or movies produce by this porn actor cum director .
On Kah Chuan , who got about a thousand votes means that many delegates in MCA didn't like the pornstar to vote for Kah Chuan . Add that to Donald's votes of 230 who didn't like either OKC or CSL means effectively CSL has only 40% of the votes .
So where did CSL's votes came from ? During the campaign , Jimmy Chua's supporters were campaigning for a Chua/Chua combination . Jimmy received over 800 votes . Assuming half of Jimmy's supporters who voted for Jimmy also voted for CSL , that means CSL himself had less than 700 votes from his supporters . If the percentage of Jimmy's supporters who voted for him were to go higher , CSL would in fact have very much lesser support .
Evidently Jimmy Chua's supporters are throwing their support behind Ong Tee Keat , and that is a fact cause Chua Soi Lek has played Jimmy Chua out twice in his last two party elections and this is pay back time .
On Donald , Chua played him out in the last party election by prematurely announcing he is contesting for a VP without his consent when in actual fact he wanted to go for the DP position . Chua in fact went round the country during his lunch and dinner talks telling everyone that he Donald is an idiot and a fool . Yes indeed , if he Donald were to support him now . Need I say more ?
So who is the Third Force ? Make believe personalities plucked out of thin air , or maybe , just maybe it represents UMNO croonies in Kuala Dimensi and the King from Bintulu , Sarawak .
The third force is actually beneficial to a certain extent. It tends to dilute the concentrated support for CSL and a erodes a little off Tee Keat's camp.
ReplyDeleteThe new entrant might actually put off the challenger's support base and just chip a little off the incumbent.
Needless to say, the challenger will have to deal with the incumbent and now a new entrant which leaves him and his aides in a daze.
The incumbent can afford to have a breather as both the challenger and new entrant can be bundled up as "one opponent".
MCA members know pretty well that bygones are bygones and the future lies ahead with new blood. Feudalism must not continue in Chinese politics as this concept had been proven to be disastrous in the classics of Chinese history.
I don't think they will disappoint a young kid like me. If they do, then all hopes are lost with MCA and I don't know what else to say or do anymore.
Bro Goh
ReplyDeleteYou will not be disappointed . Your aspirations are also our aspirations for a NEW MCA without Dynasties and Feudalism .
We shall see a new beginning .
Bottom line , we have already discounted these people when we looked at our game of numbers . As Goh Wei Liang says " The incumbent can afford to have a breather as both the challenger and new entrant can be bundled up as "one opponent".
ReplyDeleteTHE THIRD FORCE OONSISTS OF PARTY MEMBERS IN THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:-
ReplyDelete(1) THOSE FEEL CHEATED BY OTK IN THE LAST PARTY ELECTION.
(2) THOSE WHO CANNOT TOLERATE HIS ARROGANCE, SNOBBISHNESS AND DICTATORIAL STYLE
(3) THOSE CAPABLE PEOPLE WHO ARE SIDELINED BY OTK'S STRATEGY
(4) PARTY LOVING MEMBERS WHO HAS CONVINCED THEMSELVES THAT SO FAR SO BAD, OTK IS ONLY INTERESTED TO FINISH OFF HIS OWN DEPUTY.
(5) THOSE WHO THINK THAT OTK HAS NOT DELIVERED ANYTHING TO THE COMMUNITY
(6) THOSE WHO ARE FULLY CONVINCED THAT UNDER OTK, THE PARTY AND MEMBERS HAS NO DIRECTION TO MOVE FORWARD.
(7) THOSE WHO ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF SO MANY HAINANNESS IN THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
(8) THOSE WHO THINK THAT DISPLINARY BOARD SHOULD NOT HAVE USED IT TO MURDER CSL.
THE THIRD FORCE CONSISTS OF THE FRUSTRACTED NIMCOMPOOP-OPPORTUNISTS - THESE MINORITY DELEGATES AND CERTAIN HAVE-BEENS IN THE PARTY WITH 4TH CLASS MENTALITY DO NOT CARE MUCH ABOUT THE DESTINY OF MCA BUT THEIR OWN POSITIONS IN THE PARTY WHICH THEY THINK THEY WOULD GET IF THEIR SELFISH AND THOUGHTLESS SCHEME MATERIALISED. THE PRESENT PREDICAMENTS OF MCA IS THE CREATION OF CLS WHO HAS NOT BEEN A TEAM-PLAYER, NON COOPERATIVE AND SELF-CENTRED WOLF. BLAMING EVERYONE BUT HIMSELF. HOW TO LEAD MCA WHEN HE COULD NOT EVEN MANANGE HIS OWN LIFE - THUS THE MISADVENTURE OF THE CENTURY WHICH HAS CAUSED HIS TAINTED CHARACTER. TAKE THE CUE FROM THE EX-MINISTER OF FINANCE FROM JAPAN. JUST LEAVE MCA ALONE.
