To sack or not to sack?

Apparently OTK is having a different standard, or shall I say moral standard, as compared to his predecessor OKT. Chua was not sacked when his infamous sex video scandal surfaced in the late 2007. But how come about 2 years later, he is sacked for the same offence after so long, and after being elected as the deputy president of MCA? How MCA could prosecute a person for an offence committed 2 years ago, I wonder. But that is politics; you can have a thousand of reasons to sack a person, especially if the person is not in tune with the president.

Fong Chan Onn pointed it out precisely the dilemma of MCA. He said MCA do not have any more capital for unrest in the party. The sacking of Chua would certainly trigger a further split in the party which already loses supports of the Chinese majority during the 8 March, 2008’s general election. Don’t forget Chua was elected as the deputy president even though the grassroots knew very well about the sex video, which to many was a frame up by his political enemy. Chua can only have himself to be blamed for not knowing that the safer place could very well be the most dangerous one.
