MCA president brushes aside rumours over Chua's sex tape

MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat has brushed aside allegations that he and certain other leaders from the party were behind the resurfacing of sex DVD featuring former health minister Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
Ong said that when the DVDs initially surfaced early last year, his predecessor Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and the then deputy president Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy were blamed as the ones behind its distribution.
“Now it is me and other party leaders (being blamed for the current circulation the DVDs). It (the allegations) do not make any sense.
“You will have to ask the person making the allegations if there is any political motivation (behind the circulation of the DVDs) as there is nothing more I can add to the tonnes of rumours going around on the matter,” he told reporters after attending the Transport Ministry’s Christmas and Chinese New Year celebrations here on Thursday.
Asked if the rumours affected work at the party top leadership level, Ong said the most important thing in running an organisation was the spirit of working as a team and he had no problems interacting with the other team members on a daily basis.
He said Chua could raise any grouse he might have during the leadership meetings but whenever he had been asked in the meetings, so far, he had only denied having any problems and blamed the media for raising the issue.
“Now there is talk of the members of the leadership team being the president’s men but during the MCA election, I was made fun of as being a lone horse because I did not endorse any list or menu. But now that they can work with me they are being called the president’s men,” he said.
