'New EGM meant to restore MCA's integrity'
- 9 years ago
Never before in its 60-year history has the MCA faced a political crisis as divisive as that which split the party at its Oct 10 extraordinary general meeting (EGM).
Rather than end the tussle for control, it has removed the battle from the grassroots to the powerful central committee (CC).
President Ong Tee Keat has since sufficiently patched up his differences with one-time deputy Dr Chua Soi Lek to call a truce through their Greater Unity Plan.
But rumbles continue up and down the party ranks, with a faction of the CC - led by Liow Tiong Lai - prepared to turn to another EGM on Nov 28 for a final resolution.
