This article was earlier published in TheAntDaily.com on 20/2/2014 MCA leaders met in Genting Highlands last month to brainstorm its transformation plan and map out strategies for the party to regain electoral support.

Anyway, its alright, you all will have free accommodation at the hotel, just enjoy that. But remember, bring along your crash helmets and shields for self-defence just in case those chairs or tables in the hall start flying.
