Sad Day for Klang Citizens
Despite huge support and long list of signatories in her appeal, Dr Tan Yee Kew (Klang MP and Deputy Chief of Wanita MCA) only managed to reduce her suspension to six months as opposed to one year.
Obviously, this would mean that she will no longer be eligible to contest in the upcoming MCA election, not to mention defend her post. The biggest winner out of this will definitely goes to another rising star of MCA, Chew Mei Fun (PJ Utara MP and Women, Family and Community Development parliamentary secretary).
Dr Tan was accused for allegedly breached the party’s code of ethics by making available her recording of a purported scuffle at an MCA branch in Klang on April 17 to the media. The incident was aired over Astro the same night. MCA disciplinary board handed down a one year suspension after finding Dr Tan guilty as charged.
Public support has been high for Dr Tan who has been serving tirelessly for the people of Klang for as long as they can remember. Leaders of various organizations and NGO have submitted signed petitions to top MCA leadership in support of Dr Tan's appeal in the past week.
Dr Tan has mentioned that she will not quit her post in the government as well as her post as MP no matter how the appeal turns out to be. However, the decision to stay on as parliamentary secretary or not may well be out of her hands as this is at the discretion of the PM and top MCA leadership.
We will continue to monitor this saga as it continues...
