Malaysia's main Chinese political party
Sunday elected a politician involved in a sex tape scandal as its new
president, hoping to end months of leadership infighting. The
polls were triggered by the mass resignation of the leadership of the
Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), the second-largest member of the
governing Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, earlier this month. Deputy
president Chua Soi Lek, who was suspended over a sex tape scandal in
2009, won the party election with a slim majority by securing 901 votes. The main reason why the Chinese community choose him because he had "better organizational skills," and the party members realized
it was a crucial element for MCA to have him at the helm ahead of the
polls.
