Chua: Fresh polls unlikely
Isn't this what I have been predicting all this while here in this blog ? while the Chinese media has been spinning all along ?
The first MCA special committee meeting to look into the details of fresh polls today arrived at a surprising conclusion - there may be no fresh polls at all!
Committee chairperson and party deputy president Dr Chua Soi Lek told reporters after an hour-long meeting this morning that there were too many technical and legal issues involved for fresh elections to be held.
"The possibility (of not holding fresh polls) is very high," he said.
He also added that only 13 central committee members, including himself, were willing to resign to pave way for fresh polls. He did not however reveal the identity of these CC members.
Party constitution stipulates the resignation of 20 elected CC members for fresh polls to be held.
Previously, vice-president Liow Tiong Lai, who is the leader of another faction, had said that 13 CC members from his faction were ready to resign.
Chua also indicated that the only way out for the present party leadership tussle was to hold elections to allow incumbents to retain their posts.
Last Wednesday, the MCA CC meeting decided to postpone its annual general meeting which was supposed to be held last Saturday to another date to allow the party to decide on the fresh polls.
A special committee headed by Chua was formed to look into the date and manner of the fresh elections.
Liow's faction had sought for new elections to be held within 60 days but both Chua and party president Ong Tee Keat preferred a date after March.
As long as there are no elections for the Youth and Wanita Wings any elected President from the OTK-CSL Faction will not be able to function effectively. There will never be a true MCA Elections if the Youth and Wanita Wings refused to have fresh elections.
ReplyDeleteLiow and the Brutus knows this. But they just want to stir the shit. MCA, where is the moral high ground. These people are nothing but shit stirrers. Yet, you want to talk bad about PKR and DAP.
ReplyDeleteChua also indicated that the only way out for the present party leadership tussle was to hold elections to allow incumbents to retain their posts.
ReplyDelete??? was to hold elections to allow ???
is this constitutional
they are elected and they have to uphold the constitution, those that broke the code of conduct as an office bearer should be disciplined
Liow & Co is wasting MCA precious time. Don't they want to have fresh election. look like they don't... What is there to be scared of? Fresh polls is good after such a long hangover constitutional crisis. Who are these other 12 ccms, are they from Liow's. Take the challenge to have CC & both youth & Wanita wings election at the same time. Finally reveals who are the coward ones. All are waiting!
ReplyDeleteChua may be idealistic to hold elections to allow incumbents to RETAIN their posts. We should vote out and rid of all those trouble-makers who are aligned to TKS and SChiew.
ReplyDeleteSorry, veteran, you get sucked in the mire/quicksand situation . Everything is precarious in politics. Just throw in your resignation and allow for quicksand to swallow Low&brutuses. Might be better. discipline might take a ong time in coming - more chaos - no repeat of what had happened before.
ReplyDeleteThese unlucky 13 should resign first. If 7 other CCM without brain followed, election is on. If not, then they are out for good.
ReplyDeleteIt should be this way, don't waste any more time.
Liow and brutuses (PKFZ legacy) filled most of the BN quotas ministers and deputy ministers - voting them out means MCA is willing to let UMNO fill the quota right?
ReplyDeleteWilling to resign only so not certain in reality. Who knows might change mind. Anything can happen. Looks like not resgning at all - look at the stake of those having to resign - can they be voted in again
ReplyDeleteno election until 2011, Liow and the brutuses HAVE to submit to the majority as an office bearer and this is constitutional and together implement GUP
ReplyDeleteDo you think these brutuses will keep quiet and obediently follow the constitution and implement GUP. They are waiting for instructions from TKS, SChiew or Godfather!
ReplyDeletethe mother of trouble maker are WKS and CMF
ReplyDeleteThe special committee should be firm and decisive. Once decided, anyone who breach the party discipline should be dealt with accordingly.
ReplyDeleteMCA should not be wasting time, resources and energy but rather should be focussing in the responsibilites entrusted to them to serve the
Chinese community.
Poiticians should be able to change their attitude and be more discipline towards the party by suporting GUP to heal, unite and serve. The party election is only about 1 1/2 years to go, so why can't LTL and co. wait?
Any fresh election should be for the THREE MAIN WINGS of the party.
CMF cannot be mother of anything. She is barren.
ReplyDeleteThey ( WKS and CMF ) know if there is fresh election for the youth and wanita , CMF can kiss WKS'a ass goodbye and WKS can also lick CMF's ass goodbye . Both will then hug and kiss each other on their private parts goodbye .
ReplyDeleteIf MCA, and the righteous members of MCA don't want to help itself by getting rid of all the FGZs, tell us, dear MCA members, who can help MCA?
ReplyDeleteNow that CSL is the defacto PResident, so no need for reelection lah. Period.
ReplyDeleteLA
WEE KS and CHEW MF will both win the respective wings head positions hands down. Mark my words. They are the best.
ReplyDeleteif there is party polls WKS will be contesting VP seats
