Wanita MCA has proposed to the party central committee that action be taken against Pulai Sebatang assemblyperson Tee Siew Keong, who went against a party's directive when he accepted a seat on the Johor state exco.

mca wanita agm 201012 yu chok tow 02 "We have discussed this, we think that the party should take disciplinary action (against Tee)," said Wanita MCA chief Yu Chok Tow ( right) in a press conference after chairing the wing's executive committee meeting today.

She noted that it was now up to the central committee to decide on the action would be taken.

In 2011, MCA delegates had passed a resolution during an EGM vowing not to accept any government position should the party fail to improve in their weak performance in the 13th general election.

As it turned out, the party suffered an ever greater defeat this time, winning only seven parliamentary seats and 11 state seats, worse than 15 parliamentary seats and 31 state seats gained in 2008.

However the Johor sultan had expressed his wish to see Chinese representation in the state cabinet and when Tee was made the offer, he accepted.

Yu added that it wasn't "absolute" that MCA would not take any government post in the future.

She said that a task force, led by deputy president Liow Tiong Lai, is studying this matter.

Until then, she said that the Wanita MCA was in accordance with the stand of the party.
