MCA Youth slams Tee Keat's attack on Chua

MCA Youth deputy chairman Dr Mah Hang Soon today described as "inappropriate" the attack on party president Dr Chua Soi Lek by his predecessor, Ong Tee Keat.

Ong, in a statement yesterday, called Chua an "immoral man" because of his extra-marital affair captured on video, and said he had not kept his promise to resign all posts in the government and party.

Although Chua resigned as Health Minister and quit all party posts, Ong insisted that he should also have stepped down as MP for Labis.

Dr Mah said the attack was inappropriate because Dr Chua (below) had been duly elected by MCA delegates at the party elections last year, defeating the incumbent Ong and former president Ong Ka Ting.

Dr Mah, who is Perak state executive councillor, told reporters here that the MCA should now concentrate on uniting  members to strengthen the party and serve the people.

He believed that the MCA was beginning to regain support among the Chinese, with the programmes it had been carrying out for the community.

Dr Mah said the MCA had been working especially hard after BN took back control of the state assembly with three opposition representatives declaring themselves Independent.
