Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) to be unveiled soon

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 14, 2009) : Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM), the new political party that came under the spot light following speculation that it is linked to expelled MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek as well as suspended Gerakan vice-president Huan Cheng Guan, says it will introduce itself to the public soon.

PCM secretary Loo Kien Seang said details regarding the party, including the direction it will take, will be unveiled by party president Tang Weng Chew at a press conference when the latter returns from overseas, Sin Chew Daily reported today.

Loo, who said the party will not respond to public comments about the party, denied that it is linked to any political party.

He reiterated that PCM is a neutral and independent party which has nothing to do with the MCA infighting, Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club chairman Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing or Gerakan's Huan.

He said PCM was set up in view of the current political situation in which political parties have strayed from their objectives of serving the people, pushed aside the bread and butter issues as well as compromised the interests of the public.

He said it is time for PCM to come to the fore to serve the people and to bring about changes.

Expressing surprise at the PCM's "premature exposure", he said the party had intended to announce its formation after all the details, including the member application form, are in place.

He said the party is open to all Malaysians. -The Sun
