Mohd Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has spent the past week telling MCA exactly what is wrong with Chinese Malaysians — and he would know, because until 2016, he was one of their own.

The controversial Chinese-Muslim preacher registered as a lifetime MCA member on 18 December 2000.

He stayed on the books for over 15 years.

His membership was so unremarkable that when he eventually disclosed it publicly in 2016, several senior MCA leaders said they had no idea he was even registered.
