MCA AGM will go on from Dec 4-5: Senator Heng


KUALA LUMPUR: MCA’s 2009 AGM will go on as planned from 4-5 Dec, says MCA Information & Communication Bureau chairman Senator Heng Seai Kie dispelling rumours that the AGM had been postponed.

“MCA Headquarters has received many inquiries as to whether the party’s Annual General Assembly scheduled from 4-5 Dec 2009 will be postponed.

“I hereby categorically affirm that the AGM for 2009 will proceed as scheduled on Dec 4 for the MCA Youth and Wanita wings, and, on Dec 5 for the parent body. There are no plans at all to reschedule the AGM to a later date,” she said in a press release on Friday.

“Excepting the MCA President, it is also against the party Constitution for any member to postpone the AGM.

“It is unfortunate that there have been claims by certain MCA members that the AGM will be postponed.

“Such allegations are not true and the persons who made such claims are behaving irresponsibly by placing the party in a precarious situation of being deregistered by the Registrar of Societies (ROS).

“I wish to emphasise that the notice to convene the AGM has been issued in accordance with the party Constitution.

“Any suggestions that the AGM scheduled from 4-5 Dec will be postponed is designed to confuse all central delegates and create chaos within the party.

“For the sake of party unity, I appeal to all MCA central delegates to ignore such unfounded rumours and to attend the AGM of Dec 4-5,” she said.
