KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 23 (Bernama) -- MCA secretary-general Datuk Wong Foon Meng said on Wednesday MCA Central Committee (CC) members who have not tendered their resignation could do so at any time but reminded them that the deadline is this Friday.
He said the party constitution did not specifically mention the need of a deadline to tender their resignation letters.
If they submitted their resignation letters by Friday it would facilitate the party leadership to make the necessary follow-up, he told reporters after receiving a call from the Grand Mufti of Kazakhstan, Absattar Derbisali at Parliament House here.
MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and 12 other party leaders had already submitted undated letters of resignation as CC members to Wong in a move to enable fresh elections to be held to resolve the party's leadership crisis.
Besides Liow, others who have tendered their resignations include Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Wee Jeck Seng, Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Hou Kok Chung, veteran CC member Datuk Wong Mook Leong and vice-president Tan Kok Hong.
Some elected ordinary CC members who had also submitted their undated resignation letters are Lee Wei Kiat, Datuk Yu Chok Tow, Wong Nai Chee, Senator Datuk Yeow Chai Thiam, Datuk Hoh Khai Mun, Datuk Liew Yuen Keong, Datuk Edward Khoo Keok Hai and Senator Datuk Alex Wong Siong Hwee.
