Dong Zong’s ugly show must end now

By any means: A group of people gate-crashing the Dong Zong building before an extraordinary general meeting on Aug 23 to elect a new leadership took place.

IT is a relief to see Dong Zong successfully convening an anticipated extraordinary general meeting (EGM) last Sunday to oust its feuding leaders and elect a new central committee to put an end to its 20-month crisis, despite violent protests held outside its office to stop the EGM.

It is also heartening to note that the newly elected president, Vincent Lau Lee Ming from Sarawak, is someone who has stayed above the fray of the power struggle between two rival camps in Dong Zong (United Chinese School Committees Association).
