KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Chew Kok Woh has quit MCA to support Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
"I took this decision to leave MCA and am ready to join Gagasan Rakyat in order to help the party," he said in a statement here on Saturday .
Chew said he was relinquishing all his positions, including as a central committee member and the Batu Sapi division chief to join Hajiji’s Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah , which is the anchor party of the five-party Gabungan Rakyat Sabah ruling state coalition. "I would like to thank MCA which had guided and taught me in Malaysia’s political arena," he added, saying that he had been a member of the party since 1991."It is also my hope that I will remain in my role as Community Development Leader and continue to lead the PPM unit for the Karamunting state seat with my team and the community leaders," he added.
"There is much work to do including addressing the complaints by the people," said Chew, adding this would also give him the chance to implement programmes under the state’s Sabah Maju Jaya development plan.
