Datuk Chew Yin Keen has called for the resignation of MCA treasurer-general and MCA Federal Territory Chairman, Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho

  MCA Bukit Jalil Branch Chairman, Datuk Chew Yin Keen has called for the resignation of MCA treasurer-general and MCA Federal Territory Chairman, Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho. He is to take full responsibility of the disheartened result of all the MCA parliament seats in Wilayah Persekutuan on the ground that he has acted based on his own personal interests above the party’s interest.

  He commented that Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho was incapable to stop the loan of Wangsa Maju seat to UMNO. At the same time, he even strongly insisted to enlist his son, Tan Kok Eng to be a candidate at the Bandar Tun Razak constituency, despite in fact that he and his son failed to service the voters in the constituency for the past 5 years.

  He further commented that Tan Chai Ho is not a leader who protects the party’s interest. His self-interests had resulted in the lost in all constituencies lost in Wilayah Persekutuan in this GE-13. He should step down and let the young leaders who are reliable, creditable, energetic and truthful to come up earlier in oder to prepare for the coming general election. This is to ensure that MCA will regain the confidence from the people.

  Datuk Chew said Barisan’s potential candidate Datuk Yew Teong Lok in Wangsa Maju constituency, who is also a member of MCA has been dedicating his time and effort serving the people for the last 5 years. He is popular among the locals due to his continuous hardwork and services to solve the people problems. Nevertheless, the seat was loaned to UMNO, although MCA has great chance to re-take the parliament seat.

  As the chairman of the MCA Federal Territory, he did not even consider how to defeat the opposition, instead, he simply loaned the seat to UMNO without any discussions among the members of MCA Wilayah Persekutuan. This is totally unacceptable and he owes an explanation to the entire MCA Wilayah Persekutuan.

  Datuk Chew further added that there were winnable candidates in Bandar Tun Razak constituency who are well-knowned and had served the community here for numerous years and maintain good relationship among the people in Bandar Tun Razak. Sadly none of them were nominated.

  Over in Kepong, the MCA Kepong Task Force Head Tan Kok Eng was not nominated to contest in Kepong, instead returned to Bandar Tun Razak just few weeks before GE-13 as a winnable candidate. This was also another selfish act of Tan Chai Ho. He never consider of the benefits and goodwill of the entire MCA as well as the people of Bandar Tun Razak.

  He further stressed that above mentioned decision was the biggest disappointment. His nomination of his son, Kok Eng, someone who is inexperienced and had never served the people of Bandar Tun Razak as a winnable candidate in Bandar Tun Razak. This is absurd.

  The above was clearly demonstrated that Datuk Seri Tan Chai Ho had placed his self interests above the party's. Datuk Chew, therefore, urges him to resign immediately as the Chairman of MCA Wilayah Persekutuan and Treasurer-General of MCA National. This is to make way for the younger and more energetic leader in the party in order to get ready as soon as posibble for the next general election to ensure that MCA is confident to win back the lost ground from the opposition.
