Proposal To Extend MCA CC Fresh Elections To All Levels

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- MCA Central Committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker on Wednesday suggested that the proposed fresh elections being considered by the three warring factions encompass all levels of the party.

He said the elections should start at the branch level and move up to the divisions and the central committee (CC) and include both the youth and women's wings.

Ti, who is a member of the party's presidential council, said the term of the present office bearers would end in April 2011 but fresh elections for the CC would extend its term to 2012 or 2013.

The proposed fresh elections at the CC level would result in misalignment in the term of office of the CC with that of the branch, division and youth and women's wings, he explained in a statement.

"To overcome the discrepancy in the term of office and to resolve the political conflict at every level, the fresh elections for the CC should also cover all levels including the youth and women's wings," said Ti, who heads the MCA non-governmental organisations bureau.
