Chong should resign over his Guan Eng remark

COMMENT | Frankly, MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon lacks the political maturity to be both deputy minister and senator.

With his most recent jibe at Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, in which he stated that Lim was unable to handle the Penang floods despite his "deity-like" status, and even after his subsequent apology, I can only arrive at one conclusion: Chong is simply heartless.

What baffles me more is when we read that “Chong's comment elicited laughs and applause from the floor”. All this took place during MCA’s 64th annual general assembly, when Penang had been most badly hit by a natural disaster.

When DAP member Hew Kuan Yau made a controversial remark, at least he had the grit to be a man, and he accepted the responsibility and resigned from his posts in the party.
