KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — MCA has joined its Barisan Nasional (BN) partner Umno in pledging to weed out internal saboteurs, warning members today that they would be sacked if they were found guilty of sabotage in the coming general election.

Party president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said MCA is “ready for war”, which he used as the acronym for “willing, able and ready”, and reminded members of the party’s uphill battle ahead as the country heads towards the most crucial polls yet.

“Dear comrades, from now onwards, we should only talk and think about defeating Pakatan Rakyat (PR) at breakfast time, lunch, dinner and supper.

“There is no room for sabotaging; our Central Committee (CC) has decided that whoever sabotaged the party during the GE (general election), he will be sacked,” the former minister said in his opening address at MCA’s 59th annual general meeting (AGM) this morning.

He urged members and supporters to focus on “strengthening MCA and defeating PR” as their daily mantra, and reminded them that the 13th general election would be a do-or-die battle for MCA.

At the MCA’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM), the party resolved that it will reject all government posts should it fare worse than it did in Election 2008.
