MCA Presidential Council To Submit Proposal To Protect Party's Assets

SANDAKAN, June 14 (Bernama) -- MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said MCA Presidential Council may soon come out with a proposal, to monitor and protect party's assets, to avoid being misused by any leader.

Dr Chua said two members from the Presidential Council, namely Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn and Chua Tee Yong, were tasked to study the implementation of such a proposal two months ago.

"This is to ensure the party's assets are not misused by any leader since the assets belong the party and not any individual," he told reporters after opening the Sandakan, Libaran, Beluran and Batu Sapi MCA Division's Annual meeting here last night.

He added that Dr Fong and Chua would table the proposal that would outline ways to monitor and protect the assets professionally, at the Presidential Council meeting tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Dr Chua said Sabah currently had 35,000 MCA members and that the figure showed a positive acceptance level by the Chinese community in Sabah.

He added that with an increase in membership, he would meet Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, to appeal for more MCA representation in district and town councils.
