A campaign undertaken by several MCA members and leaders unhappy with the present party leadership kicked off in Ipoh last night, with speakers blaming party president Ong Ka Ting for its dismal performance in the last general election.

“President Ka Ting has led the party for five years now and has seen the party through two general elections.

“Judging from the results of at hand, he is best remembered as the worst performing president MCA ever had,” said Ipoh Timur MCA division deputy head and former MP for Lumut Dr Yap Yit Thong at a dinner gathering last night at a local hotel in Ipoh.
