Sacked Ho Yip Kap accepted back in MCA

2008-03-15T17:28:00.001-07:00

KUANTAN: Ho Yip Kap, the independent candidate who won the Tanah Rata state seat in Cameron Highlands in last Saturday’s general election, has rejoined MCA.

Pahang MCA chief Datuk Hoh Khai Mun said the state party had decided to accept Ho back into the party fold.

“However, the final decision will be made at the central committee meeting on Saturday,” he told reporters after chairing a special meeting to discuss Ho’s return to MCA.

Hoh said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob, who is also Pahang BN chief, has been informed of the development and he had given his blessing.

Ho, 56, an MCA life member, was sacked for contesting the Tanah Rata seat as an independent.

In a three-cornered fight, the former school principal polled 3,926 votes to beat BN candidate Chai Kok Lim, who received 3,351 votes, and DAP contestant, Go Mong Nging, who garnered 2,043 votes.

Congratulations to independant Ho Yip Kap who beat out BN and the opposition. This is the same ex-headmaster/teacher who came to school in his 4-wheel-drive 'kebun' landrover everyday. It's good to see a familiar and 'real' local tanah rata personality win for once.

Tanah Rata had an interesting three-cornered battle that saw both BN and opposition losing out.

It was won by independent candidate Ho Yip Kap with a majority of 575 votes.
Ho managed to get 3,926 votes beating BN's Chai Kok Lim who got 3,351 votes. DAP's Go Mong Nging secured 2,043 votes.

Ho, 56, is a retired headmaster who resigned from the MCA a day before nomination day.
"My friends had asked me to contest and I gave it a try since we were not happy with the MCA candidate in our area. I never expected to win."

He said knowing the people in Tanah Rata personally had helped him and he would do his best to improve the livelihood of the farmers there.
