It was a family affair at the Gopeng MCA division elections when Albert Chang Chun Chuen clinched the top post while his cousin Alex Chan Chin Chee was elected his deputy.
During Sunday's polls here, Chang secured an easy win over his challenger, the division’s incumbent vice-chairman Lee Thim Leng, when he garnered 159 votes over Lee’s 74.
Chan, who is also former Simpang Pulai assemblyman and currently the Taman Gopeng Baru MCA branch chairman, polled 161 votes against his opponent Low Leong Sin’s 72 votes.
Incumbent Gopeng division chief Tan Sri Dr Ting Chew Peh, also the party’s former secretary-general, vacated his post to fight for a central delegate position in the Kapar MCA division.
