PUTRAJAYA: MCA central committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker took a swipe at MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said there would not be peace in MCA if the leaders insisted on killing off each other even after the emergence of the party's "greater unity plan".

Ti, a staunch supporter of MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, said the party needed all three -- Ong, former deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek and Liow -- to come together for the sake of the Chinese community.

In his blog, Ti said it was time for leaders to "suspend our false inconsistent principles in the interest of the party's stability".

"I, for one, will not allow Liow to be killed or removed from the party. He is also needed but for heaven's sake, let's work together. Stop being a rabble-rouser and be a good deputy," he wrote.

Asking party leaders to give the peace plan a chance, Ti said MCA leaders should be glad and thankful that conflicts in the party had come to an end.

Liow had said on Wednesday that he would explain to party members nationwide about what really happened after the EGM.

In George Town, state MCA deputy liaison committee chairman Eng Hiap Boon challenged Liow to state what he wanted the party president to do.

Eng said he had no doubt that Ong respected the resolutions made at the party's last extraordinary general meeting.

"If Liow thinks otherwise, he should spell out what he wants the president to do," he said.
