Tough going at the top

FACTIONAL rivalries and leadership battles are to be expected in political parties. Still, in the 54 years of MCA’s history nearly all eight presidents left their posts in unhappy circumstances. 

Five resigned before completing their terms. Two were defeated in party elections. The elected leaders all had troubled tenure although there were periods of calm during the leadership of Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Tan Siew Sin, Tan Sri Lee San Choon and Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik.
