MCA Controversial - Background

The recent controversial of MCA was due to the Oct 2008 party election and the sex scandal of Chua Soi Lek in end 2007.

The then newly and young team of President Ong Ka Ting and Vice President Chan Kong Choi 'tenure' was short caused by taking responsibility of the failure of MCA in 2008 general election.

After 20 odd years of Ling Liong Sik as the premier of the party, MCA looked good with Ong Ka Ting/Chan Kong Choi fresh blood leadeship with early fifty age.

However, thing did not favour to these 2 chinese educated leaders but they ought to step down.

Apparently, MCA was lack of new leadership because it was broken "just like that and that fast" after the historic down fall of Barisan Nasional in the general election.

Despite the sex scandal, Chua Soi Lek was indeed looked good for the stewardship of the party but sex scandal is still hardly accepted in the world politic.

Look at Clinton who needed 9 months to battle over the Lewinsky case. The recent Obama's wife with short paint for holiday also receive massive and open comment by so called the open mind western world ie. USA.

Chua Soi Lek was however know his situation and disadvantage and stay put in 2nd highest position contest. He was much capable and competence over his contestants Ong Ka Chuan who is "so so" in both public speeking and performance ; Donald Lim who couldn't even talk and very lack of physical appearance despite his "Businessman" image.

Many party members admire Chua Soi Lek charismatic appearance and his iron man image. He won !

Ong Tee Kiat is always famous for his iron man too especially for his track record of exposing the mis-use of public fund. The case like the Pagoh school incident of RM30k became RM3k in which the school contractor cheated on the building material.

So, look like Ong Tee Kiat was the most suitable choice for No. 1 post contesting with Chua Jui Meng who has ever lost his contest with then President Ong Ka Ting 4- 5 years ago. Chua has dent in his popularity and his senior age.

Indeed, I have seen Ong Tee Kiat as fighter rather as leader. Unless fighter like Mahathir knew how to be the leader when given the chance. Ong with his character fighting straight plus he was seen to be Ong Ka Chuan camp, therefore he was perceived to be rival of Chua Soi Lek.

One Tee Keat was not perceived to be the leader qualifier, Chua Soi Lek has big big dent as sex scandal main starring. Therefore, in the versi versa view the both camp supporters have their own ground of arguments and belief.

As I said, 9 months after party election under Ong Tee Keat's leadership , we would see controversial. Sadly and accurately, it is happening now.
