Last Friday, a group of MCA members have put in a requisition for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the Party general assembly. The requisition was made on the same day the MCA Presidential Council met and decided to have only one EGM.
Today, my appointed representatives met with representatives of the EGM requisitionists to work out the details on how to hold on a "merged EGM". Mid way through the negotiations, my representative called me to say that discussions had hit an impasse. I was advised that this involved significant technical and legal issues.
However, in view of the wishes of the members, I do not want to dwell too much into the legal and technical aspects, as it is imperative that only one EGM be held as soon as possible so that the Party can move forward. I therefore instructed my representatives to accept the other side's five resolutions.
As the Party president, I do not want to see the Party further divided. It is my wish that MCA members close rank as swiftly as possible and continue with its reform agenda in the run-up to the 13th general election. I believe that at the end of the day, the MCA delegates' maturity and wisdom will prevail, and that they will put MCA's interest above all else.

Don't worry, the mca members are mature enough to vote against the propose EGM resolution from the CSL camp. Although i'm a MCA member from Johor without the voting right, i believe most of the delegates will vote for you because you have shown the true capability as a MCA president & thru your leadership MCA can only survive the next general election.
