MCA today paid tribute to its former president Dr Ling Liong Sik with a "salutation ceremony" at the party headquarters in Jalan Ampang in Kuala Lumpur. Ling, who helmed the party for 17 years, stepped down two months ago.

About 2,000 central delegates and members attended the two-hour event.

All central committee members turned up except Youth chief Ong Tee Keat, Wanita deputy chief Dr Tan Yee Kew and Wong Mook Leong. Former deputy president Lim Ah Lek, who is also Ling's nemesis, was conspicuously absent.

Ling and Lim resigned from their posts on May 23. Their respective proteges - Ong Ka Ting and Chan Kong Choy - took over the party leadership later.
