Staging a comeback: TEE KEAT POST GE13

Staging a comeback: TEE KEAT POST GE13
Former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said he was not ruling out the possibility of making a comeback by running for presidency during the upcoming party elections.
He told Sin Chew Daily he was currently only an ordinary member of the party and if certain division was willing to take him and elect him as a central delegate, he did not rule out the possibility of running for presidency.
He said no matter how certain quarters within the party had been trying to demonise him, he had never been humiliated by the public wherever he walked.
He confided that he was not interested in a "menu" although he did not oppose to the idea of contesting as a team, adding that a team or line-up was indispensable given the existing political environment.
However, he stressed that if the team had been distorted into a kind of transactional alliance without any ideology as foundation, such alliance put together merely to win the elections might not last.
Tee Keat was the MCA president for only a year before he was unseated. Some say this could have been attributed to his arrogance and distrust towards other people.
He said over the past three years he had been continuously making self adjustments while finding how he was being taken advantage of. However, he admitted such introspection was only for himself and not to be made public.
For instance, he said he was well aware why he was not fielded in the just concluded GE13, but said he had learned through these years not to voice out his frustration.
He also denied claims of self conceit and distrust towards other people: "If I didn't trust anyone, I would not have proposed direct elections for MCA's senior posts, or handle the matter to the relevant leaders, in the end deferring the decision."
He pointed out that some 90% of Chinese voters rejected BN and MCA during the recent general elections not because they acted on the spur of the moment, adding that squarely accusing the opposition of fabricating lies would not solve the problem at all.
He said such a collective signal of mentality shift was not anything one could address simply by setting up a workforce to identify the root cause.
"Their attitude of calling themselves kings behind closed doors will not resuscitate MCA."
