MCA deputy president Dr Chua Soi Lek has been formally sacked from the party for damaging the party's reputation due to his sex scandal.
At a press conference at 12.15am at the party headquarters, MCA
president Ong Tee Keat announced that the presidential council had
endorsed the recommendation of the party's disciplinary committee to sack Chua over the matter.
"We did so with a heavy heart after giving much consideration to the
damage inflicted upon the party image, brought about by the sex
scandal featured in the DVD.
"This decision has been made in the best interest of the party," said Ong, reading from a prepared text after a marathon five-hour meeting.
Ong said Chua ha 14 days to appeal the decision, but added that the party constitution does not allow the decision to be challenged in court.
