KUALA LUMPUR: MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat is agreeable to fresh elections by next March.

Central committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker said yesterday that Ong had always been supportive of fresh polls using a new electoral system.

He said vice-president Da-tuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai and his allies were harping on the need for fresh polls "as though it was their brainchild".

"Ong was first to moot the idea of fresh polls but this was opposed by Liow and other leaders at the Oct 15 central committee meeting.

"Liow's group is now harping on fresh polls as though it was their idea. They had been silent earlier on their objections to the idea mooted by Ong.

"Their flip-flopping is to embarrass the party and derail the Greater Unity Plan."
