Malaysia 'Chaos' Association?

The news headline today reads 'MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek sacked'. Reason? The infamous sex scandal happened nearly 2 years ago.

What can I say about this? When I heard Chua was sacked by the MCA party president Ong Tee Keat because of this reason, I was like 'Are you kidding?'

I personally felt it was super harsh. Why suddenly sack someone because of something that happened so long ago? Furthermore, Chua definately has took his responsibilty. After the scandal, he resigned from all posts, and faded away from the political scene. Then, Chua decided to take part in the party elections at the end of last year, competing for the deputy president post. Ong, who was going for the party president post at the time, publicly said that there are no 'menu' or specific preferences as to who he wants his deputy to be. Ong claimed that he will work with whichever candidate who was voted as his deputy.

It turned out that Ong and Chua both won the posts they competed for. Ever since then, reports saying that they do not work well with each other never failed to surface. When choosing the party members for the Cabinet, Chua, who was the deputy president, wasn't given any posts.

Until today, the bombshell was dropped, Chua was sacked. This is a very controversial decision as Chua had took his resposibility, and was then VOTED in as deputy president. It's pretty clear that he had paid for his sins. But then, why was he sacked for the reason again? Is it really because of sex scandal? Or is it as certain reports said that Ong did not work well with Chua? Then again, Ong said he will work well with whoever voted his deputy? Oh... the questions could go on and on...

But one thing is for sure, this decision will cause unrest among some party members of MCA. However, to how much an extent still remains to be seen. Hopefully all the problems can be sought out as soon as possible to avoid splitting the party, which is the ultimate chaos. Furthermore, such a problem might also be emphasized by the Oppositions in order to challenge the position of BN...

Note: Above are all just the writer's opinion. Don't mean to offend anybody. xD
