Why Sack Chua Soi Lek Now?

Firstly, no wonder chinese in Malaysia dropped MCA during the 2008 Election. That was because we realise how much can MCA deliver to the chinese community. From this party infight, we can see it even more clearly that MCA's leaders are just a bunch of people there who do things for their own benefits only. If Dr Chua should be sacked under the MCA party code, it should have been done when the sex scandal happened in early 2008, not now. Ong Tee Keat (OTK) may argue that he can do that only when he came to power. But Why OTK did not do that when he first took over the MCA president post? Is it because of he feel threatening by Dr Chua now and hence, resorted to this dirty tactic?

No matter what, Dr Chua was officially, formally, legitimately....(what other words that I can use)elected by MCA members. By sacking him for his misconduct which the members already known and forgive, OTK is digging his own grave because OTK was elected as the President during the same party election. Furthermore, it is not very convicing when OTK himself is in the hotsoup of PKFZ scandal plus the 100 million 'donation'. These cases are more serious and shameful.

No doubt Dr Chua is at fault, not only fault morally but also fault for being careless. I would like to use the controversial quote by Jackie Chan (HK star), he said, " I made a mistake that every man is likely to commit", referring to his scandal with one of the HK actress. I think that type of scandal is not only common in the entertainment industry, it is also as common as in politics because these people are public figures. So OTK better be sure that he has truthful and careful in whatever he does in the past.

Being a Chinese Malaysian, I don't want to see MCA split because of one person's mistake. But looking at the way OTK handles this problem, I don't think MCA is heading anyway under his leadership. Ideally, both OTK & Chua Soi Lek resign to give way to other to lead, since both of them are tainted.

Lastly, I sympathise with Dr Chua's family, especially Mrs Chua. Mrs Chua might have thought that she can put all these unhappy memories behind her. But now the god damn MCA brought it up again.
