KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 — Thirteen MCA central committee members led by vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai submitted their resignation letters today to the party's secretary-general in a bid to trigger fresh party polls for the troubled party.
A total of 21 or two-thirds of the 31 elected CC members must resign to pave way for fresh polls which means that Liow, who has been pressuring for a reelection, needs just eight more resignations by Christmas Day.
If the 21 necessary resignations are met by the dateline, the party will conduct fresh elections within 30 days.
Liow said the resignation reflects the seriousness of him and his men in solving the protracted party crisis which he claimed could only be solved through fresh elections.
The following submitted their letters today with Liow: Wong Nai Chee, Datuk Wong Mook Leong, Datuk Liew Yuen Keong, Wong Siong Hwee, Datuk Yu Chok Tow, Deputy Higher Education Minister Dr Hou Kok Chung, Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Wee Jeck Seng, Datuk Dr Yeow Chai Thiam, Datuk Hoh Khai Mun, Datuk Edward Khoo and Lee Wei Kiat.
