MALAYSIAN CHINESE ASSOCATION PARTY'S PRESIDENT CALLS FOR EGM


KUALA LUMPUR: MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has instructed party secretary-general Datuk Wong Foon Meng to convene an emergency general meeting (EGM) within 30 days.
  • Wong, when contacted, confirmed he received Ong's instructions Monday morning.
  • "Based on Article 30.1 of the party constitution, the president can call for an EGM," said Wong.
  • He said he would start making preparations on Tuesday to inform delegates of the date, time and venue of the EGM.
  • The issues to be debated at the EGM are the ongoing public disclosure of the Port Klang Free Zone project, the presidential council's decision to expel deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and other matters.
  • The EGM will seek a decision from delegates on these issues.
  • Ong's directive prempts moves by Dr Chua's supporters to gather enough signatures from delegates to convene an EGM seeking to nullify Dr Chua's expulsion and reinstate him as deputy president, and pass a no-confidence vote against Ong.
