LETTER I refer to MCA Youth and Wanita chiefs who cried during a press conference, appealing to the MCA central committee members to attend the Nov 28 EGM.
In politics, leaders must be made of sterner stuff. You don’t cry in public appealing for sympathy. Wee Ka Siong and Chiew Mei Fun are not fit to be MCA leaders of their respective movements. They are seen to be weak, crying in public over political matters. What’s more, they appeared on TV for the whole nation to see. It’s a real shame.
The president has the right to remove members who cannot work with him. You cannot conduct a fruitful and cordial meeting with members talking bad about you behind your back.
I believe what these two feared most is not their exclusion from the presidential council. Ong Tee Keat’s next move could be the removal of these two from their Cabinet posts if they persist in talking bad about the president in public.
Being elected as Youth chief post doesn’t mean you are entitled to be in the cabinet. Najib Abdul Razak didn’t include Umno Youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin in his first Cabinet.
It’s the president who decides on the candidates and recommends them to the prime minister. Umno president cannot overrule the MCA president’s choice of candidates. Umno and MCA are equal partners in BN and they must have mutual respect for each other.
