PENANG, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- Penang MCA has denied that 11 of its 13 divisions have supported a call for an extraordinary general meeting in a bid to reinstate former deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
Penang MCA deputy chairman Eng Hiap Boon said only four divisions - Bukit Mertajam, Bukit Gelugor, Tanjung and Balik Pulau - had supported the move.
He said the four divisions had misled the media into believing that seven other divisions had also supported the call.
"It is up to the four divisions to make their stand but the state MCA support the Presidential Council's decision to sack Dr Chua over his DVD sex scandal (two years ago)," he told reporters here Friday.
The MCA presidential council yesterday accepted the disciplinary board's decision to expel Chua.
Eng called on Penang MCA member to calm down and remain united and to abide by the party's constitution in resolving disputes in the party.
Present were state MCA Wanita chief Tan Cheng Liang and several divisional chairmen including that of the Batu Kawan, Bukit Bendera, Jelutong, Nibong Tebal and Bagan divisions.
