KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 — Incumbent MCA presidential candidate Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat’s re-election campaign was given a major boost today after a Merdeka Center poll found that he was the preferred choice among Chinese Malaysian voters, with former president Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting the second most popular candidate and Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek coming in last.
The poll also found that the Chinese community felt the MCA, written off by many pundits after its disastrous showing in Election 2008, remains relevant in Malaysian politics.
But Tee Keat, whose tenure as presidency had been divisive and plagued by increased faction fighting, does not hold a commanding lead among the three candidates.
A total of 30 per cent of Chinese respondents in the survey preferred him as MCA president.
Ka Ting was the choice of 15 per cent of Chinese voters while Dr Chua got 12 per cent of the vote.
So, what happen to the rest of the votes. Invalid? There are more invalid votes than for OTK.
ReplyDeleteActually Tee Keat got 34 per cent, the rest may be PR people.
