Former MCA vice-president Datuk Chua Jui Meng was defecting to the opposition by quitting MCA and joining PKR.
Chua Jui Meng
Datuk Chua was accompanied by former MCA senator David Yeoh Eng Hock and former Lumut parliamentarian Yap Yit Thong.
Datuk Chua said he was taking a "new journey, a journey of change".
The question arises: Is Datuk Chua took the right journey to defecting to the opposition by quitting MCA and joining PKR?
It is believed that the opposition is making Chua's defection to regain momentum for the opposition which has been floundering due to internal bickering and a resurgent BN under new Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Former Health Minister Datuk Chua Jui Meng, 64, had contested for the MCA president's post twice and lost to two Ongs - Ong Ka Ting in 2005 and Ong Tee Keat in 2008.
He was not picked to defend his Bakri parliamentary seat in the last general elections.
Chua explained that he decided to join PKR because the country's two-coalition political system was being undermined by Umno.
He added that the death of Teoh Beng Hock, the political aide of Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was the “tipping point” in his decision to defect to the opposition.
