KEPALA BATAS, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- The MCA central working committee must hold a special general assembly fast to choose the new leadership following the vote of no confidence in party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
He said the leadership struggle must be resolved immediately so that the problem would not affect the Barisan Nasional's (BN) position.
As a big component party of the BN, whatever happened in the MCA would impact on the strength and influence of the coalition as a whole, he said when asked to comment on the decision of the MCA central delegates to pass a vote of no confidence in Ong at its extraordinary general meeting in Kuala Lumpur Saturday.
The meeting also voted to reinstate suspended deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chuah Soi Lek as a member but not to his former post.
Abdullah said those affected should accept the decision and stop fighting because the credibility of the leadership was at stake.
On the Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party, which was launched today, Abdullah, who was former BN chairman, said having many parties representing the Indian community was not a problem as long as they had the same objective and the objective was good and their actions appropriate.
