MCA – THE TRANSITION HAS STARTED

Ong Ka Ting announced that he will not seek re-election as the President of MCA, and so is his deputy, Chan Kong Choy; thus paving ways and means for second echelons in the party to move upwards.

It was said that Ong Tee Keat, a VP is slated to take over the Presidency with Liow Tiong Lai. The current Youth Chief and Heath Minister is expected to move up the ladder and so is Wee Ka Siong. They are some of the line-up purportedly enumerated by Ka Ting and Kong Choy.

Speculation is adrift that Chua Soi Lek partnering Donald Lim are contemplating a comeback by contesting the Presidency and the Deputy respectively. Also on the rumour mill, Chua Jui Meng is showing his interest to wrestle.

Far and wide, I’m pretty sure Ka Ting prominently figured as the A-Team leader has his own line-up and Kong Choy as the B-Team camp has his own line-up too. The C-Team comprises of those party stalwarts and their followers that seems to dissociate from both the A and B-Teams; or so it seems. These include Soi Lek, Donald Lim and Jui Meng,

So, where will be Ong Ka Chuan, the younger brother of Ka Ting, in the line-up? Will he remains as the party’s Secretary-General? Having known him from the outside, I can safely say his political target is very ambitious. From nepotism point of view, the time is ripe for him to replace his elder brother as the next party president despite the fact that Ka Ting seems to have endorsed Tee Keat.

It is really interesting to watch these players campaigning for positions right from the beginning – that is even before the branches and divisional elections commence. The Big Bang shall be during the party election. Let’s watch gleefully!!!
