Some 600 of the division's members formed a committee on Sunday to show their support for Teoh as the candidate. Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman has been speculated to be fielded for the seat which has traditionally belonged to MCA. The group's chairman, Chaw Yee Chong, said the members, mostly volunteers, decided to stop work at 30 of the 38 voting district centres in the Gelang Patah constituency. He added that the group would only resume duty once they know who the candidate is. "We are MCA members and Barisan Nasional supporters. However we want to know who the candidate is in the area," he said. Related Stories: |
