121_tb KUALA LUMPUR: MCA Puchong division vice-chairman Datuk Theng Bok claimed that “invisibles hands” were reportedly preying on political rivals within the MCA party, trying to topple certain leaders of MCA, apparently including current MCA top two leaders, in order to impose “minority rules”.

He even blamed such “invisible forces” — referred to by some media as the MCA’s “mysterious snoop squad” — as the root of MCA’s current leadership crisis.

Newly-appointed Central Committee member,Ti Lian Ker, in his blogpost at tilianker.blogspot.com quoted Theng as having firm evidence to support his claims. Theng reported that literally the evidence was dropped outside of his office at Jaya 33 about two weeks ago — three volumes of the MCA investigation panel reports on the existence of a “Three-Man Secret Committee” dated June 10, 2008.

The documents alleged the squad comprised party vice-president Liow Tiong Lai, Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Wee Jeck Seng and former Gerakan Belia Bersatu chairman Tee An Chuan. The statements from several witnesses including Dr Chua Soi Lek, former vice-president Donald Lim, former Serdang MP Yap Pian Hon and former Damansara Utama assemblyman Lim Choon Kin, which have proven the members of this ’snoop squad’, are the ‘elements’ in the reports which corroborated with the claims of his client, MCA veteran Wong Leong.

The original reports owere lodged by Wong Leong, for whom Theng acted as legal counsel, with both urging the party’s disciplinary board to reopen this ’snoop squad’ case.

In response to such "new evidences", Ti, who is MCA NGO Bureau chief, opposed the duo’s request to re-look at the snoop squad incient, questioning: Why did Liow continue to disrespect the CC decision after losing control of the CC and instead carry the battle to the street [… …]?

Ti also asked why didn’t the Prime Minister call up Liow and his supporters to tick them off for being recalcitrant and not advise them to be team players.
