Many political analyst just analyze the outcome of the latest MCA EGM through just looking at Resolution 1 while neglecting Resolution 2, 3 and 4. Resolution 1 will just provide an insight of 25% of the entire EGM. We should look in more detail to come out with a better conclusion.

MCA EGM Resolution 1 – To Censure Liow Tiong Lai

965 (supporting) vs 1190 (against) with a majority of 225 to vote against censuring Liow Tiong Lai (46% vs 56 %).
According to The Sun columnist Kong See Hoh, the 1,190 nays to a resolution to censure him for the party’s general election debacle included neutral and sympathy votes.

Liow own supporter Datuk Paul Kong said “It doesn’t mean by rejecting motion number one, there will be 100 percent support for Liow Tiong Lai for the president’s post. I think, for the next two months, both sides still need to work hard as what Dr Chua’s side need to do is to increase their votes by another 200,” said MCA Central Committee (CC) member Datuk Paul Kong (reported by Malay Mail).

Senior journalist of Oriental Daily News Lin Shu Yun said while Liow garnered 1,190 votes in the just-concluded MCA extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to overthrow the first resolution of censuring him, he was reminded that a vote against the resolution does not mean a vote in support of him to be the next MCA president. Indeed, some votes against the resolution might come from central delegates who either sympathise with Liow or taking a neutral stance on the issue

What can we conclude from resolution 1? Sin Chew Daily also has a similar reading on Chua’s strength. Its senior journalist Guo Shu Qin said, Chua was still seizing 900 “iron votes” from his hardcore supporters.

Having said that, Dr Chua Soi Lek is still having firm and solid control over 965 MCA Central Delegates (46%) while from just resolution 1 alone is hard to predict how many supporters are Liow real hardcore solid supporters. How much votes from resolution that voting against to censure Liow Tiong Lai is actually votes and supports from the neutral, sympathizer and swing votes according to cases, issues, causes, sentiments and emotions? The answer can only be concluded only if we look forward to analyze the outcome of resolution 2, 3 and 4.
