MCA May Need More Time To Calm Down And Resolve Internal Crisis, Says Muhyiddin

ROME, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- Deputy prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the MCA may need more time to calm down and resolve the party's internal crisis.

He also hoped that the party leaders could resolve the problems faced by the MCA in a more cautious manner so that the situation would not deteriorate.

Muhyiddin, who is here to attend the World Food Security Summit, said this to Malaysian journalists when asked on the latest development in the MCA.

MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat today announced in Kuala Lumpur that the party Central Committee meeting had rejected the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to be held on Nov 28, and also announced the appointment of new members of the presidential council which saw the dropping of Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Wanita head Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who are staunch supporters of vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

Muhyiddin, who is also the deputy chairman of Barisan Nasional (BN), said MCA leaders must adhere to the Greater Unity Plan (GUP) drawn up to resolve the party's internal crisis immediately.

In fact, the MCA must look for an intermediary in resolving the party problem if "people within the party do not get any support".

"This is normal. In fact even at international conferences, we have to find an intermediary to resolve issues," he said.

At a separate function, Muhyiddin also held a meeting with Indonesian Vice-President Prof Dr Boediono, here Wednesday.
