Incumbent Fong Likely To Be Challenged For Division Top Post

KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- Three out of six Melaka MCA division chief posts are expected to be contested at the party's divisional elections this Sunday.

However, the focus is expected to be on the Alor Gajah division where party vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn will be challenged in defending his division chairman post.

Party insiders said that Fong, who is also the State MCA Liaison Committee chairman, would likely be challenged by one of the state's division vice-chairmen, Ir Ngau Ju Soon.

Both sides were reported to have formed their line-up to contest the party divisional positions in what is regarded as one of the most keenly contested divisional elections in the state.

Fong's decision to defend his division chairman post is seen by political observers and party members as part of his effort to go for a higher post at the party's central elections this October.

There is also intense speculation that if Fong, the former Human Resource Minister and most senior MCA vice-president, succeeded in defending his divisional post, he would likely be contesting the president or deputy president post.

Apart from Alor Gajah, a tough fight is also expected in Jasin where current division chairman Datuk Chong Tam Onn may be challenged by state MCA Youth vice-chairman Koh Chin Han, the personal assistant to former MCA president Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik.

In the Tangga Batu division, current chairman Datuk Seet Har Cheow, who has been holding the post for quite some time, is expected to be challenged by Lau Kwang Long.

Meanwhile, a contest is unlikely in Kota Melaka, Masjid Tanah and Bukit Katil, where Datuk Wira Datuk Gan Boon Leong (Kota Melaka) and Datuk Chin Kang Tow (Masjid Tanah), are expected to retain their posts uncontested.

In Bukit Katil, the move by the current division chairman Datuk Seah Kee Tong not to seek re-election has made way for former state executive councillor Datuk Koh Nai Kwong to take over without a contest.

The nominations for all the party's divisional posts will be made on Tuesday from 4pm to 8pm, and the elections be conducted simultaneously nationwide on Sunday.
