Social Care Foundation chairman Robert Phang said in Sin Chew Daily that a person with a ‘tainted’ image is not suitable to lead the MCA.
He was referring to the sacked MCA deputy president Dr Chua Soi Lek for admitting his mistake following the sex-video scandal that had ‘left a stain which could never be cleansed.’
Phang should also question the possible power corruption of Ong Tee Keat’s in his request to use a jet owned by a company linked to the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) project.
Ong had admitted to using private jets owned by Wijaya Baru Aviation, an associate company of Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd (KDSB), the main developer of PKFZ.
The deputy CEO of Wijaya Baru, Faizal Abdullah said that there were other politicians, including those from MCA, who had used Wijaya Baru jets but stressed that Ong was the only one who had not paid.
Malaysians should bear in mind that the government's General Orders, however, do not allow him to use services that are more expensive than what Malaysia Airlines offers.
Ong’s action has caused the party to be ridiculed. This is a big humiliation to MCA as a political party that purportedly owns more than RM2 billion worth of assets.
The police have yet to conclude their investigations into the RM10 million ‘hot cash’ handed to Ong as alleged by Kuala Dimensi’s boss.
What Ong did has become part of the record of MCA’s history that cannot be changed.
MCA has to admit that it is facing a real disastrous situation - a leadership crisis at the top.
The current revelations are just the tip of the iceberg of the bigger underlying problems - boiling volcano waiting to erupt.
MCA is badly in need of action – one to clean out all the problematic leaders and regain public confidence in facing the next general election.
The future of the MCA lies with the votes of the EGM delegates who will determine the suitability of these two leaders.
