Ong sorry PKFZ issue linked to MCA leadership crisis
KUALA LUMPUR, March 7 — MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat today admitted that the controversial Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) issue may have caused the leadership crisis and turmoil in the party.
He apologised to the central delegates who attended the party’s 56th annual general assembly here for the uneasiness the crisis had caused them.
This was the third time the embattled president has apologised over the issue in two days.
The party was rocked this week by the en bloc resignations of its elected central committee members, including deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, which forced the party to set March 28 for fresh polls.
Ong (picture) said he chose to start the investigation into PKFZ in his capacity as the Transport Minister.
“I am willing to bear the consequences of the investigation into this crisis. But, if the impact is on the party, I apologise because this is unpredictable,” he said in his winding-up speech.
He said he also could not establish the link between the PKFZ issue and the party’s turmoil as both crises had happened at almost the same time.
“I do not know if this is a coincidence or otherwise,” he said.
Speaking to reporters later, Ong stressed that investigation into the PKFZ issue must continue, saying that he was trapped in a Catch-22 situation.
He said the issue had been used by the opposition in the 2008 general election and if investigations were not carried, it would again become a political baggage to the party and the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition in the next general election. — Bernama

ReplyDeleteAiyah! What has DAP got to do with this MCA mess. This is caused by MCA leaders shitting in their own backyard. Now its backyard smells and stinks. Since when did LKS shit there.
ReplyDeleteMCA do not need any enemies. Its leaders are its own enemy. It's own so called friend UMNO is its own enemy.
So anon 5:27, you are spitting the wrong way.
I have long told my MCA frens even before 308 that MCA should seriously considering leaving BN. MCA has the "heart" to do good, not only for chinese, but all Malaysian. But to go under the roof of BN where you have so many AMNO people uttering non-sense keep you MCA busy putting out fire and leave you no time to go forward.
ReplyDeleteYou should start talking to your Nan-siong-nan-Di GERAKAN and plot your next move before it is too late.

OTK should not retreat even his position now not so good. Not until the last minute we do not know who is the winner. Offer to him as retain TM post for not contesting, planning for NO CONTESTING is all bullshit. OTK weakness is over trusted LTL/WKS whom betrayed him at the first , however OTK still have many good generals with him so there is no reason why OTK need to worry. CSL is OLD FOX and he do worry OTK will retain to contest his post.CSL moves very fast to get WKS/KKH/LTL to sign nomination form but the Chinese now focusing these 3 Brutus how to play by the old fox later.
