KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) -- The Registrar of Societies (RPS) is prepared to go to court if MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai challenges its decision in reinstating Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek as the party deputy president.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the decision by ROS was based on three main factors -- the country laws, the Societies Act 1996 and the MCA constitution.
"Should the matter be taken to court, we, at the ministry, and ROS will explain and defend the decision," he told a news conference at the Parliament lobby here on Wednesday.
Yesterday, ROS announced that Dr Chua, who was sacked as MCA deputy president last August and later reinstated only as a member in the party, was still the party deputy president.
Registrar Datuk Md Alias Kalil said being that there was no vacancy for the post as the decision on the resolution of the MCA Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Oct 10 did not fulfill the requirement for a two-thirds majority as provided for under Article 35 of the MCA Constitution.
