MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon criticised Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail’s remark that DAP is “easier to work with” than MCA.
This comes after Berita Harian reported the Pahang BN chairperson saying this during his speech at an Islamic religious school in Pahang today.
In response, Chong (above) urged the Umno leader to clarify his intentions and elaborate further on the “difficulty” faced when working with MCA.
"As the Pahang BN chairperson, what exactly is Wan Rosdy trying to express with these remarks?
“Regarding what issue, and who? This is important, so that we, especially those in Pahang MCA, can better understand what he means,” Chong said in a statement today.

During his speech, Wan Rosdy also reminded the public to “not be fooled by the opposition’s lies” which claimed that the coalition government in Pahang was “secular in nature”, and that it had abandoned the interests of the Malay-Muslim community.
He mentioned that the presence of DAP state executive councillors in the Pahang government made it easier to handle administrative matters, in comparison to working with MCA.
“Over these past three years, sometimes it is much easier to work with them (DAP) than with MCA.
“Sometimes they also offer good advice regarding our shortcomings, and they inform us of ‘potholes’ in the road ahead,” Wan Rosdy added.
He also said that parties should not allow frequent infighting over political differences, which results in factionalism within the Malay community, adding that “other races will benefit most” from this.

Did DAP admit to their mistakes?
Meanwhile, Chong urged Wan Rosdy to elaborate on DAP’s “advice” regarding BN’s shortcomings.
“Is it because they have admitted their mistakes regarding their smear campaign against the Lynas rare earth processing plant, and the ‘Great Wall of China’ in Kuantan?” he asked, with the latter referring to a perimeter wall at the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park.
Meanwhile, Chong also reiterated that as a BN component party, MCA would continue to work hard for the rakyat, and would strive to regain public support, especially from the Chinese community.
He stressed that they would continue to defend their party's ideology as one of moderation, instead of extremism.
"As for the performance of MCA and DAP, we leave it entirely to the people to judge,” he said.
Wakakaka...MCA is in such a pitiful state politically.
