Wee to help dig MCA’s ‘political grave’ deeper

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25, 2023: Re-electing Wee Ka Siong as MCA president clearly show sthat the Chinese party is hopeless.

Its members are just “yes men” with the majority having no minds of their own, safe for supporting its outdated political dirtection and leaders.

MCA has been soundly rejected by Malaysian’s in the last three general elections (that’s 15 years), yet it continues with its obnoxious “Umno lapdog” politics.

MCA members continues to pretend nothing has happened, refusinng to face political reality and change to heal the party.

At a time when the party sorely needs change and transfornation to win back the confidence of Malaysians, especially the Chinese that it claims to represent, they plod on with an “all is fine and dandy” attitude.

After leading MCA to successive electoral defeats, is the shameless Wee the man to transform MCA to political relevance?

Obviously, MCA members think so, but obviously not Malaysians, especially the ethnic Chinese Malaysians.

And that is why MCA is in political abyss, failing to hold a single post in the federal government since Merdeka (Independence) 1957.

Thus, MCA is digging its political grave deeper and this will likely show in the next general election which must be held in 2027.

For those who hate MCA’s lapdog-style of politics, the re-election of Wee as president is welcoming news.

KUALA LUMPUR: Wee Ka Siong has secured a landslide victory to be re-elected as MCA president today. He secured 569 electoral votes while his challenger, former central committee member Tan Chong Seng, obtained 11.

The deputy president, Mah Hang Soon, was returned unopposed, while Lim Ban Hong, Low Ah Keong, Tan Teik Cheng and Wee Jeck Seng were elected as vice-presidents.

Yesterday, Ling Tian Soon and Wong You Fong were elected as heads of MCA Youth and Wanita MCA respectively.

Voting for the party elections was held simultaneously at all MCA divisions from 2pm to 7pm.

Wee said he was grateful to be given the mandate to lead the party for the second time.

“I will do our best to raise the reputation of the party and bring it back to our former glory. It’s a big challenge but I believe with this new team we are able to achieve it,” Wee told reporters at the Wisma MCA.

Wee became MCA president in November 2018 after securing a landslide victory in a three-cornered fight in the party elections. He served as transport minister from March 2020 to November 2022 under former prime ministers Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

His challenger, Tan, a civil engineer, was the former chairman of the Port Klang Free Zone.
