KUALA LUMPUR: Sacked MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek has poured scorn on the move by his former chief to hold an extraordinary general meeting.
He said president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat's decision showed a lack of consistency in his leadership.
"When I was sacked and there was talk of my supporters having an EGM, the president's supporters criticised and condemned it.
"Now, hardly three days later, Ong decides to have an EGM. His whole motive is to confuse the delegates," he told the New Straits Times yesterday.
Chua said he will leave it to the political maturity of the delegates to decide on the future direction of the party. "They are clear as to what the president should do and shouldn't do."
He also took a swipe at the party's leadership, including the disciplinary board's recommendation that he be expelled due to his involvement in a sex scandal as it would be a burden to the party.
"If I am a burden to the party, then the grassroots should be happy with the decision.
"Why has it evoked such strong protests from members that the leadership is forced to go on a nationwide briefing to explain the situation?"
He added he had not decided whether to appeal against his sacking, saying that he needed more time to consider his options.
