MCA Sabah remains united; Batu Sapi Division placed under Sabah MCA Sabah’s care




With reference to the recent circumstances faced by MCA Batu Sapi Division, notably the resignation of former Division Chairman Dato’ Chew Kok Woh and several other Division Party members from the Party, MCA Sabah emphasises that we remain united.

Owing to these resignations, there are currently insufficient committee members resulting with the normal operations of the Division being affected. However, in consideration that the MCA Branch Elections will commence in April this year, MCA Sabah proposed to the MCA Central Committee to suspend the Division and for Sabah MCA to take over Divisional matters, until after the Party Elections when the national leadership finalises their plans for the Division.

Following the resignations in Batu Sapi, I personally paid a visit to the Division with Wanita MCA Sabah Chairperson Datuk Dr. Pamela Yong, and several other leaders from the Kota Kinabalu and Sepanggar Divisions. We listened to their feedback and views, and were comforted to hear that they and the other MCA Divisions remain loyal to the Party and its cause.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor, the political situation in Sabah has gradually stabilised. As we are all in one huge political family, every party should thus be on equal footing, and share the freedom to voice out over policies and express their positions. Simultaneously, the state government needs to not only strengthen internal cooperation, but also be inclusive of the roles of each allied party, in order to reach the mutual goal of bringing prosperity to Sabah.
