STOP the back-stabbing – Soi Lek tells Liow

Embattled MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek has urged his deputy, Liow Tiong Lai, not to abuse the party’s nationwide roadshow for party grassroots to attack party leaders.

“I appointed Liow to head the MCA Transformation Taskforce. His duty is to hold nationwide roadshows and listen to grassroots… and not to make it a platform for leaders to kill each other,” he told reporters after a function in Kuala Lumpur today.

The taskforce was established on May 11, following MCA’s worst electoral outing ever. The taskforce will conduct a “post-mortem” and consult its members, the public and the NGOs on the way forward for MCA.

There will be 14 dialogue sessions nationwide which will take place from June 17 until mid-July. The feedback obtained will be compiled into a “transformation blueprint”.

However, it many members who have spoken at the roadshows were critical of Chua’s leadership. Chua has claimed that such attacks were orchestrated.

Earlier, when addressing the Koperasi Jayadiri Malaysia Bhd (Kojadi) AGM, Chua said that Liow had deviated from the original intentions of setting up the taskforce.

“I gave Liow three months time to come out (with suggestions on) party’s future direction, and not to talk about whether to accept the government post,” he said.

“The ‘no-government post issue’ was not a decision made by my wife and me in toilet, but rather passed by delegates in the 2011 and 2012 annual general meeting.”
