m KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 (Bernama) -- MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha wants the party president's proposed 'Greater Unity Plan' to accomodate every member.
He said this was crucial to consolidate the party "since everyone has a role to play" in ensuring that the second largest Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition party could forge ahead with time.
"I think it is a good move in the right direction...but it has to accomodate everyone in order to ensure MCA moves forward," he told reporters after handing over keys to owners of the upmarket Jalil Sutera housing project near here on Saturday.
The power struggle in the MCA which worsened, especially after its Oct 10 extraordinary general meeting, abruptly came to an end when its chief, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, and his deposed deputy, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, met with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also BN chairman.
Ong, who also announced the 'Greater Unity Plan', has not disclosed in detail, how the plan would work out.
Asked to comment, Kong urged MCA members to give Ong some space as he needed time to announce it.
Earlier, Kong, who is also housing and local government minister, said preventing and reviving abandoned housing projects would be the main focus in the ministry's Key Performance Indicator (KPI), with three main emphasis.
They are:
# the government will periodically monitor licensed housing projects;
# take action against errant housing developers; and,
# revive abandoned projects.
Between 2000 and September this year, there were 148 abandoned housing projects involving 49,913 units and 31,824 buyers nationwide, which were developed by the private sector.
Of the 148 housing projects, the ministry revived 12 projects involving 2,170 units this year.
Between 2006 and September, this year, 237 cases involved contravening the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 which were subsequently prosecuted.
Some of the developers and company directors were blacklisted, said Kong.
Commenting on the initiatives under the Green Building Index to promote green technology in the building and construction sector as announced by Najib when tabling the 2010 Budget yesterday, Kong said the move was proactive and would encourage more developers to build more, and buyers could choose property with green technology-compliance
