In a bid to fend off claims of nepotism, MCA president Ong Ka Ting declared that he will not name his elder brother and party secretary-general Ka Chuan as his successor when he steps down.

“I won’t name anyone as successor. I am very sure I won’t name Ka Chuan as the successor,” the party chief told Malaysiakini in an exclusive 90-minute interview held in his office at the MCA headquarters last Friday.
