Party “Kangkung”?

The newly-elected Deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said teamwork means work together for and not for those blind obedience. He said this when elaborating on his pledge that he would behave like the party’s number two, adding that he knew his station well.

Dr Chua, a doctor by training, also got the central delegates in stitches when he told them that kangkung (weng chai in Mandarin) was a healthy food provided you did not cook it with too much belacan.

Dr Chua (chua is pronounced as cai or vegetable in Mandarin) and Ong (whose surname is pronounced as weng in Mandarin) saw their supporters using the vegetable tag to project them as the future president and deputy president at the height of the party’s election campaign.

On the various issues, including those touching on morals, which were brought up during the campaign, he said it was important to know how to move on.

Referring to MCA, he said: “We cannot just sing the old song, talking on stability and progress. The people now demand fairness, transparency, democracy and openness.

“If we can meet that, I am sure we can hope that tomorrow is a better day,” said Dr Chua.
