Newly-minted MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong announced the appointment after the first MCA central committee meeting under the new leadership.

"Chew is someone who knows the party well, and she is very experienced. 

She will be the first lady to hold the post," he told a press conference here on Friday (Nov 16).
