PETALING JAYA: MCA wants Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng to clarify the exact nature of the proposed trust fund of RM30mil to the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR UC).

Its spokesman Mike Chong questioned why would the funds be channelled into the Tarcian Alumni Association , as opposed to the other registered alumni association, the Federation of TAR Student Alumni.

Chong also criticsed the condition set by the Finance Ministry, which stipulated that MCA leadership must relinquish ownership in TAR UC in order for the money from the trust fund to be channelled to the university college."To date, Lim Guan Eng and his comrades have not been able to prove that MCA has ever brought any party politics into TAR UC nor carried out any political activities at TAR UC campuses," he added.

But is the Finance Minister sincere in providing such an allocation? Or is this the latest political game by Lim?1) There are two registered alumni associations affiliated with TAR UC, namely the Federation of TAR Student Alumni and the Tarcian Alumni Association . It was stated in the Finance Minister’s statement that the government’s allocation will be channelled to a trust fund managed by TAA.

If Lim was sincere in helping TAR UC, why should such a condition be imposed? To date, he and colleagues have not been able to prove that the MCA has ever brought any party politics into TAR UC or carried out any political activities at TAR UC campuses.
