The Malay Mail reported recently on July 27 an allegation made by businessman Vincent Ng that he had once helped the MCA leadership conjure up “tens of thousands of phantom members” for the party.
The newspaper article, headlined ‘Phantom members rolled out for MCA-rigged polls, says businessman‘, claimed that the validity of the party’s registry is in doubt should allegations about the existence of these members – purportedly enrolled without their knowledge – prove to be true.
