Ex-chairman of Cupid Club is too busy for love

KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun is too busy to think about love.

“I want to concentrate on my career. Now is not the right time to think about love,” said the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry parliamentary secretary and Wanita MCA deputy chief.

But how does her stand on love tally with the MCA Cupid Club’s purpose of helping singles find their future partner?

Chew, the former chairman of the club, said marriage was a choice.

“It is something very personal and I respect the individual’s view and what they want.

Ang pow gift: Chew receiving an ang pow from Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai at the MCA Chinese New Year open house in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. Being single, Chew gets plenty of ang pow from other MCA leaders every Chinese New Year.

“We provide the Cupid service as a community service when people need it. Likewise, for me it is my own choice in life to marry or not,” Chew said at the MCA Chinese New Year open house on Thursday.

On whether she would defend her seat, Chew replied:

“I think so, because my president already openly announced that he would strongly recommend me,” she added.

Chew also said she was well prepared for the elections.
