Politics

On 14 May 2013, he took the oath to become the first EXCO of MCA after the 2013 Malaysian general election after members of MCA had decided that they will not hold any post if their 2013 election result is worse than the 2008 election.[1]

In the 2022 Johor state election, he criticised the MCA president, Wee Ka Siong for letting UMNO to contest for the Pulai Sebatang seat, which is a traditional MCA seat. On 17 May 2022, his MCA membership was suspended for 5 years due to his criticism, which is the harshest punishment in MCA.[2][3] On 26 May 2022, he gave up his rights to appeal and quit the party.[4]
