Yesterday, several MCA Central Committee members had said that they were not consulted about the "greater unity plan" which was announced last week. The plan was designed to end the impasse in the Party, bring unity back and put MCA on track to winning back support from the people in time for the next general election. The plan had been presented to the Prime Minister, who had given his blessings.

I find it perplexing why I need the CC's permission when I try to bring about unity to the Party. Do these people hope to see the Party being dragged down by continuous in-fighting, just so they can achieve their selfish ambitions?  Do they understand the importance of putting the greater unity plan to work so that MCA can continue with its healing and reforms following the setbacks during last year's general election? Are they not prepared to set aside their self interest for the sake of MCA and the nation?
 
I have also been asked about the personal pledge I made before the October 10 EGM. I have clarified the issue on many occasions. It would be unwise to make me reveal certain things that will deeply embarrass a few Party leaders.
 
During the October 15 MCA Central Committee meeting, someone said that I control almost 50 per cent of the delegates while Dato' Sri Dr Chua Soi Lek has the backing of about 47 per cent. Her statement has made me realise that me and Dr Chua should come together and unite the Party, as collectively we control almost 100 per cent of the general assembly. Why should anyone question the greater unity plan?
 
MCA has unfinished business and the Port Klang Free Zone debacle is just one of them. We have reached the final lap in our efforts to get to the bottom of the PKFZ problem. Now is the time to move ahead, and not be held back by petty and divisive bickering.

Respect EGM outcome includes Liow and others too!
written by Kingston, October 29, 2009
Liow Tiong Lui and those with him are hypocrites. They keep harping on OTK and CSL to "respect the EGM outcome" as a hint for them go go away quietly and for him to take advantage by raising to the presidential seat. But what Mr Liow is forgetting is that the EGM did not at any time mention anything about letting him take advantage of the situation by taking over the presidential seat by default. THE EGM DID NOT VOTE FOR YOU MR LIOW TO BE PRESIDENT. PLS RESPECT THAT. I am not a fan of MR Ong. But i cannot and will not let your actions, Mr Liow, to disgrace our beloved party. Hence i support fully Mr. Ong's stance to stay on, or at least to call for a fresh election. PLS MR. LIOW, RESPECT THE EGM DECISION THAT DID *NOT* PUT YOU IN THE PRESIDENT SEAT. Mr Liow may have convinced *some* of the CC members, but that does not mean he can easily take advantage. His act is more despicable than anything i can describe and i am seriously appalled. SINCE WHEN 22 SIGNATURES GAVE YOU, MR LIOW, THE RIGHT TO REPRESENT THE WHOLE MCA?

Dear Datuk Seri. It is sickening to see MCA degenerated in a free for all. First, the second rank leaders and now the CC. You must exercise your prerogative to remove them. You have a strategic weakness which is that you talk tough but do not act tough. This weaken your position as President. You must learn from Tun Mahatir. He did not hesitate to act when he had too. And he did not talk a lot. Listen to Teddy Roosevelt - " Talk softly and carry a big stick". Please change your thinking. You must act and act fast. The longer this people cause trouble, the more the cancer will grow. Act Now.
I salute your courage to carry on the fight

Dato Ong,

You are the president of chinese community and you have the support of the chinese majority. The CC is trying to shake that confidence that you garnered. So continue you courageous fight, you will triump and history in time will tell that you did the right time in this turbulent time. CC is trying to shift the ground & terrain don't fall into that threat. Remember the blue ocean strategy to differentiate and turn the bleeding into leading.

Dear Dato Sri Ong, Please take away all the cabinet post of the 14 CC members. Consult this matter with the PM and let him decide as to the new people for the new cabinet post. These CC members thought that their cabinet post are god send and not the prerogative of the PM. In Chinese they are 忘本

Dear Dato',

It is sad that you are currently in the midst of some internal conflict within MCA and I hope this will end soon.

Please fight for the rights of the Malaysian Chinese Community and not follow the foot-steps of MCA's previous Presidents.

Regards.

Mr President,
I absolutely disagree with Mr Cheah's comment in asking u to step down.Do Mr Cheah want those who betray u to take over your place. We the rakyat are not stupid. We fully know what r u fighting for. Those who betray u r only fighting for their self interest.So Mr President just ignore this Mr Cheah.
