JOHOR BARU: Suspend Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat from carrying out his duty temporarily as party president and review the decision to sack Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
This call was made by six Johor MCA divisions affiliated to Chua's camp to the party discplinary board during a joint press conference today.
The six divisions, which are Pontian, Kota Tinggi, Gelang Patah, Tebrau, Tanjung Piai and Pulai, were led by Pontian division chairman Tee Siew Keong.
They collectively expressed their disappointment on the sacking of Chua from the party because of the sex video scandal.
They felt that Ong should be suspended due to the allegations that the former had received a RM10-million political donation from Kuala Dimesi Sdn Bhd boss Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing and failed to settle the expenses for boarding Tiong's aircraft.
An EGM has been widely speculated as providing the platform to cast a vote of no confidence against Ong.
"Apparently, Ong has overlooked the rights and wisdom of over 1,000 central delegates but based his decision to sack Chua entirely on the disciplinary board members," said Tee.
"As a member for over 20 years, the decision has truly disappointed me. We will support all activities to save the party."
