MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung has expressed dismay over the electoral pact BN appears to have struck with a Perikatan Nasional faction led by PAS.
In a Facebook post last night, Saw said she repeatedly campaigned against PAS during the Johor state election, assuring voters that BN was not cooperating with the Islamist party.
However, she said cooperation between BN and PAS in Negeri Sembilan now appears all but certain.
BN last night revealed it would contest only 25 of the 36 seats in the Negeri Sembilan election, while hinting it would cooperate with another party against Pakatan Harapan.
This gap is expected to be filled by PN when they unveil their candidates tonight.
How far will MCA go?
Saw questioned whether MCA, its president Wee Ka Siong, and the party’s presidential council agreed to work with PAS, and what boundaries the party was willing to cross.

“The secularism and democracy that we have persisted with for so long - have we abandoned them? Theocracy - have we agreed to it? Have we given it the green light?
“Where is the bottom line? Where are the principles?
“Is it because of votes? Because of official posts? Because this is how we win mixed constituencies? Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Because as long as we defeat DAP, nothing else matters?” she asked in a Chinese-language Facebook post.
She argued that MCA would be no different than DAP - which it has accused of betraying its values for power - if the plan proceeded.
“I am sorry, but I consider myself to have a sense of political cleanliness, and I beg to differ,” she added.
MCA is set to contest seven seats in the Negeri Sembilan polls.
