KUALA LUMPUR :The predicament of former MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, who has been thrown out of his party, has surfaced on popular social networking site Facebook.
Sympathisers have joined the Support Dr Chua Soi Lek, Save Democracy of MCA support group in solidarity with him.
The group was started on Thursday by 26-year-old non-MCA member Ng Kooi Wei.
"Let us invite more and more people to join... Dr Chua needs support!" he wrote in his first posting.
When contacted, Ng said he supported Dr Chua because Dr Chua, the former minister of health from 2004 to 2008 and now the Barisan Nasional coordinator for Pakatan Rakyat states, had proven his capabilities.
Ng hoped the support group would show MCA leaders how concerned young Malaysians were over Dr Chua's sacking.
More than 190 people have joined the group, MCA members and non-members alike.
Members of the group can leave messages of support for Dr Chua. They can also comment in either English or Chinese on seven topics, including on whether MCA should have expelled Dr Chua.
Among those who have left messages were Marlyana Jalil, who called on Dr Chua not to give up, and Shook Ling, who said she would support Dr Chua all the way.
Another was Kent Chong, who hoped that the MCA could resolve its problems and be united.
Another supporter, Tan Cheng Yong, wrote a scathing comment about Ong, suggesting that Ong was paranoid and one-sided in his dealings.
"He always says there is (an) agenda to topple him. From what I see, he is the one who likes to bring people down. He always likes 'yes'."
Kelly Ho noted that Dr Chua's sacking was not justified.
"Chinese people should stand up and support Dr Chua," she wrote.
