In a dramatic twist, the 28 MCA women who wrote a letter to party Wanita leader Dr Ng Yen Yen insinuating that Serdang member of Parliament Yap Pian Hon was involved in vice activities, had apologised to the MP.

Yap told malaysiakini today that the women, who are supposedly Serdang MCA members, had faxed the letter to the Chinese press, in response to Yap's advertisements in the papers calling on them to come forward. Yap said he had obtained a copy of the letter from the press.

He said the letter, which bore the same names as the previous letter and did not carry any signature, claimed that due to Yap's 'adequate' action in responding to the problem, their families have been reconciled.

According to Yap, the women denied their action was "politically motivated" and clarified that they had sent the letter to Ng as she was the MCA Wanita chief. Besides the apology, they also called for the matter to be closed.

Ng is currently overseas.
