PETALING JAYA: A “third force” from within the MCA is redistributing the controversial sex DVD involving Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek in a bid to add more fuel to the party leadership tussle, said party central committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker.

He said the re-emergence of the DVD was another move by “unseen hands” to embarrass the former deputy president as well as to incite emotion, anger and hatred amongst party members against party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

“There is indeed a ‘Third Force’ from within the party intending to exploit and inflict maximum damage to the personality and credibility of both Ong and Dr Chua with little or no love for the party.

“Their apparent motive is obvious -- to dislocate and uproot Ong’s leadership of the party and to damage Dr Chua permanently,” he wrote on his blog.

He said the act was designed to shatter the party permanently and ensure that the future party leader is a “lame duck.”

“This third force wants to control MCA’s leadership for their personal motive and agenda,” he said, adding that recent disagreements within the party have given them an opportunity to “kill two big birds with one stone.”

Ti warned delegates to be wary of these unseen hands that manipulated events, adding that the sex DVD was an incident of the past and the party was now faced with a leadership conflict.

“The DVD is a blemish of the past and ought to be left behind,” he said.

He said the party needed to move forward.

“All we need now is a fresh mandate and added strength to enable the present party leadership to continue with the course that we have taken,” he said, adding that the party must emerge stronger and not end up in tatters.
