PM Wants MCA To Resolve Leadership Crisis Immediately

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wants the MCA to resolve the leadership crisis before the position of MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat in the cabinet can be decided.

Najib, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, said what was important now was for the MCA to arrive at a comprehensive solution so that the problem would not recur.

"I am counting on the MCA leadership to make an immediate decision, to rehabilitate the MCA and regain the confidence of its members and that of the general public in the party," he told reporters after launching the bilingual book 'Helming the Times', written by him, here on Sunday.

"I believe they (MCA leaders) have taken into consideration the decision made at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) yesterday," he said.

Najib said the BN respected the decision made by the MCA delegates and believed that if the interests of the BN and the MCA were given priority, the party could become strong and stable again and be an important component in the BN.
