KUALA LUMPUR: An MCA central committee member has lambasted vice-president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai for getting 12 leaders to stage a public resignation from the central committee to pave way for fresh party elections.

Datuk Ti Lian Ker said the "theatrics" of Liow and the 12 leaders were similar to the antics of opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"Why did Liow orchestrate a very public and political drama of tendering an insufficient number of 'false resignations'?

"Did Liow learn this from Anwar? Is he showing that he is now the boss or diverting attention away from the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) which has questioned his wife?

"Is this Liow's art of media and public diversion at work since he enjoys a good relationship with the media?" he wrote in his blog at www.tilianker.blogspost.com.

On Tuesday, Liow led 12 others to submit their undated resignation letters to secretary-general Datuk Wong Foon Meng.

The resignations will only be effective when two-thirds or 21 of the 31 elected members quit.

At the same time, Liow's wife, Datin Seri Lee Sun Loo was questioned by the MACC over allegations that she was given a multi-purpose vehicle as a birthday gift from a company involved in Health Ministry projects.

Ti said there was an understanding among CC members that no one should make any public statement while the committee on fresh elections deliberated on its find-ings before forwarding recommendations to the CC.

He said everyone could submit their resignations together to facilitate fresh elections after going through the committee's recommendations.

Ti said the actions of "Liow and company" had obstructed the Greater Unity Plan.
