GUP Has Support Of 29 Central Committee Members - Ong


KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said 29 central committee members (CC) have given their support to the party's Greater Unity Plan (GUP).

He said the fact that 29 of the 42 CC members had given their support in writing showed that more were in favour of the plan.

On the planned second extraordinary general meeting (EGM), Ong said although the group had received more than one third support from CC members, it was not the only issue.

"The EGM is to solve the problem not create one. It was the legal bureau which said that the EGM resolutions are against the party constitution not me," he said when launching a lifelong health carnival here Sunday.

The Transport Minister stressed that any action to be taken should be in accordance with the party constitution.

He said the legal bureau had studied resolutions for the second EGM and told CC members that they were against the party constitution.

The group supporting MCA vice president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai planned to hold the EGM on Nov 28 to get the mandate for fresh party elections.
