(The Star) - The five-man MCA disciplinary committee has decided to resign en bloc, committee member Lai Kuan Fook confirmed on Thursday.
He said the reason for the resignation was that “the party constitution and also present circumstances had resulted in the committee not being able to function.”
Lai declined to say when the decision was taken or whether it was linked to the committee’s recommendation to sack deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek in August.
He said they would leave it to committee chairman Datuk Ng Cheng Kiat to inform party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat of the mass resignation.
The other committee members are Datuk Jimmy Low Boon Hong, Datuk Ng Soon Por and Ng Chih Siang.
The committee made headlines after its controversial recommendation to sack Dr Chua was accepted by the party’s presidential council on Aug 26. The sentence was subsequently reduced to a four-year suspension by the party’s central committee on Sept 19.
Dr Chua had his membership reinstated at the Oct 10 extraordinary general meeting (EGM) but lost in his bid to restore his deputy presidency by a slim majority.
However, the Registrar of Societies on Tuesday said that Dr Chua was still the deputy president because the MCA constitution stated that it needs at least two-thirds of the delegates present at the EGM to drop him from his elected post.

You so-called MCA Disciplinary Committee members & other MCA leaders are all spineless & brainless followers of Ticket or Soiled Licked or Lio Tek Boh Liow & his cohorts Chew Mee Hoon & Pee Wee. All of you too are arse-lickers of AMENO scumbags.
Since you are all so spineless & brainless you should emulate the more than 900 Jim Jones followers who did a mass suicide with him in November 1978 in Jonestown Guyana. The best place in Malaysia to do so is where Altantuya was butchered by C4, that is, in the Punchak Alam Forest Reserve.

If ROS can reinstate his position as Deputy President of MCA, then ROS must also reinstate DASI as Deputy President of UMNO.
Sometimes these so call bodies of authority logic just defy common sense.
