Letter of Support to MCA President

I was approached by the media in regards to the joint press statement issues by MCA Ministers and Deputy Ministers to support the MCA President Ong Tee Keat in the PKFZ controversy.

The people do not attach much importance to such show of support.

As the President of MCA, he can get all the Ministers and Deputy Ministers to sign the statement. They are all appointed by the Prime Minister on the recommendation of the President.

As a political party, the rakyat is more concerned whether we are doing things right.

What is important is that the people wants to see whether the cost of the PKFZ project is justifiable, whether it is viable and whether there have been abuse of public funds. We have to ensure that the rakyat's money is well spent.

In short, how do we move forward so that the PKFZ controversy can be put to an end without affecting the image of the BN government.

The MCA President always emphasize that we must work hard to meet the expectations of the rakyat at all times. This is more important than just fulfilling the needs of MCA members.

I believe that as long as the MCA President does the right thing, all MCA members will fully support him.

马华正副部长今天发表支持总会长的联合声明后，我接获多个媒体电询我对这项举动的看法.

这项做法并不会得到人民的重视。

身为一党之首，总会长当然可以得到马华所有部长和副部长签署和发表有关声明。马华正副部长的人选，也是经马华总会长推荐，由首相委任。

巴生自贸区事件发展至今，人民关心的是我们的政党是否在做该做的事。

人民要了解真相。人民关心的是巴生自贸区的款项是否使用得当？这项计划在未来是否还可行？最重要的是，人民公帑是否被滥用？

简言之，马华接着要如何发挥效力，在不影响国阵政府形象的情况下，协助解决巴生自贸区事件？

总会长过去不断强调，马华在任何时候都必须秉持“民意大于党意”的原则办事。在巴生自贸区事件，人民的期望肯定比党员的意愿更重要。

我相信，只要总会长做得正确，全体马华党员都会全力支持他。
