LETTER When the MCA leadership tussle began, we saw how Ong Tee Keat selflessly requested secretary-general Wong Foon Meng to convene an EGM for a voting process to take place on resolutions brought forth by Dr Chua Soi Lek and his supporters. Tee Keat did nothing for himself.
When Tee Keat talked about integrity, credibility and accountability which of course stepped on some toes, many sat around, watched and offered coffee shop talk only. Some even exploited the opportunity to attack Tee Keat.
We should ask those who criticize Tee Keat - what wrong has Tee Keat done? What has Tee Keat not done for the Chinese community? What benefits are there if Tee Keat resigns from his presidency when MCA is at its lowest ebb after the severe loss in the general election last year?
Squatters, students, constituents, needy people, and the community have all benefited with MCA's help and Tee Keat's politics, despite the weak position MCA is in today.
We then ask, when will MCA learn the political model of transition and put an end to the two-faction system in the party? Sadly, MCA has not learnt much judging from the EGM results.
Perhaps those who criticize and oppose Tee Keat should fear not and worry not. Tee Keat is a man of principles without an inch of doubt. But one must not forget. He made a promise to MCA members and not just the delegates. He made a promise to the community and not just MCA. He made a promise to the people and not just the Chinese.
These promises must not be forgotten and we ask, why don't we tell Tee Keat to stay on and fulfill his promises, dreams and vision of 1MCA 1Team? These are also principles if not promises and they truly override the emotional words uttered in the leadership tussle with Soi Lek.
I urge Ong Tee Keat to stay on as MCA president to fulfill the dreams of a better Malaysia which is the hopes of many young Malaysians.
