MCA leaders back Ong to overcome challenges


By NG CHENG YEE

KUALA LUMPUR: MCA leaders at all levels have pledged their full support to party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat in overcoming the current challenges, said party vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said the delegates understood the hurdles that Ong was facing and believed that what he was doing was in the interest of the party and the Barisan Nasional.

“We discussed many issues, including the Port Klang Free Zone project as well as the RM10mil claims.

“The delegates understand that the president is a cabinet minister and he has to carry out his duties as the Transport Minister to strengthen the commitment for reform,” he told reporters after attending a special briefing session by Ong at Wisma MCA here Sunday.

Liow said Wanita chief Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun had also cleared the air at the meeting on allegations that she had received a total of RM35,000 on two occasions from Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd CEO Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing.

“It is not true that she took the money. There were donations to some fundraising programmes which she headed,” he said.

马华槟州妇女组 said...

马华中委陈清凉支持总会长翁诗杰报警,并吁请爱党的马华同志站出来挺翁,为捍卫正义而说话。

她发表文告指出,爱党的党员们应支持追查巴生港口自由区之真相,并在马华总会长翁诗杰面对千万政治献金疑云的恶意指控时,成为翁总会长的后盾。

“这绝不是翁总会长个人的事,而是关系到整个马华与国阵的声誉,以及捍卫正义与打造廉洁政治。我们不是支持翁诗杰,而是在支持对的事,这才是从政者真正的原意,为对的事力争到底。”

她表示,无可否认,43亿令吉巴生港口自由区丑闻,是马华在去年308大选惨败,失去半壁江山的原因之一;再加上反对党以此借题发挥、穷追猛打,导致国阵在雪兰莪州几乎全军覆没,只剩翁诗杰一人。

她相信,308以后,马华基层也看到华社对马华的期许,所以翁总会长毅然挑起改革重担,鍥而不舍追查真相,就是要重建人民对马华的信心;因此,党员们看到总会长挺身而出,更应支持果敢、勇敢与坚持的领袖,不能再保持沉默。

“无论是以前从3万到3千的干捞事件,或是现在的巴生港口自由区事件,翁诗杰一直都坚持立场。现在人民的民主意识成熟,不再要看水沟路灯的代议士,而是对全国发展真正有助益的领袖。”

她指出,翁总会长早前已声明在处理巴生港口自由区事件上,面对十面埋伏;报告公开后,身为承包商Kuala Dimensi私人有限公司(KDSB)首席执行员张庆信之名字自然也被牵扯进去,所以这种反扑与对号入座举动自然可理解。

她也提出质疑,既然张氏指控将现款交给翁总,这千万令吉可能要几十个袋子来装,一个人又怎么拿呢?而且对方也没提出实质的证人、日期与时间。

她继说,张氏现在又把矛盾转向周美芬,重提周美芬曾向跟他筹过款,这些都是没水准的表现。
针对副首相慕尤丁要翁张两人谨言慎语之言论,她认为,首相纳吉上任后声言要打造廉洁政府,副首相更应全力配合;而且在这件事上,翁总针对的是张庆信之私人公司,而不是他所代表的政党,所以不能混为一谈。

“首相上任后也说过,“国阵不改,人民将要改变我们”,所以我们绝不能鼓吹这种金钱政治,更应全力支持翁总报警,甚至支持反贪委会介入调查,揭露真相。”
