KUALA LUMPUR: The MCA Presidential Council will have final say on the proposed resolutions submitted for MCA's March 7 AGM, including that for the calling of fresh polls, said party secretary general Datuk Wong Foon Meng.
He said the secretariat had received 28 proposed resolutions for the AGM of which more than 10 were submitted by individual party members calling for new elections in the central committee.
"We will submit all the proposed resolutions to the presidential council to deliberate and decide at their meeting [tomorrow]," Wong told reporters today after chairing a secretariat meeting to categorise the AGM resolutions.
According to Wong, the secretariat had not rejected any of the proposed resolutions, stressing that the council was tasked to make a final decision on the resolutions that were deemed fit to be considered by the central delegates at the AGM.
"We categorised the [proposed] resolutions into several categories such as party matters, economy, government, society, education and culture. The resolutions categorised also include those passed by the state liaison committee last year," he added.
The secretary-general also said the formulation of the resolutions for the AGM would only be done after the council meets, and noted that the deadline for submission of proposed resolutions was Feb 23.
The faction aligned to MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is pushing a resolution at the AGM that would compel fresh polls for the central committee (CC) if passed.
Last Tuesday, Liow's faction submitted a four-point resolution on behalf of the MCA Integrity Restoring Taskforce which, among other objectives, seeks delegates to vote for the dissolution of the CC and hold fresh polls.
The faction is also seeking to amend Article 46 of the party's constitution to enable Youth and Wanita chiefs, as well as those holding ministerial positions to be automatically included in the council.
In December 2009, Liow and 12 other CC members including vice-president Tan Kok Hong, Deputy Higher Education Minister Dr Hou Kok Chung and Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Wee Jeck Seng submitted undated resignation letters to the party's secretary-general.
Under the party's constitution, at least two-thirds, or 21 of the 31 elected CC members, must resign for re-election to be called.

Wonders....
Can't these people wait and work together for the people, for the rakyat and maybe, for the Chinese? Must they do this to create fractions? If one cannot work with someone WITHIN the party, how can he works with someone OUTSIDE the party? Wonders......
