Media statement by MCA Secretary-General Datuk Chong Sin Woon

Respect the Agong’s authority and wisdom to lead Malaysia back on track

1. Malaysia practises parliamentary democracy. With regards to the recent upheaval in the political arena, MCA believes the most appropriate step to be taken is the dissolution of the Parliament, and move towards the next General Election to return the mandate or power to the people. MCA will also make the necessary preparations for the possibility of a snap election. Still, considering MCA’s limited political strength, the situation right now is far beyond our control and influence.

2. Regardless, we respect the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s constitutional powers in making the right decision that will end this political crisis. With the people’s best interest in mind, MCA will carry on with the BN spirit, and do our very best to assist in restoring stability to our country.

3. Regarding Pakatan Harapan’s collapse, MCA wishes to emphasise that this was never orchestrated by either BN or MCA, but due to Pakatan Harapan’s internal power struggles. PH being the Government, was supposed to uphold the mandate of the people and focus on good governance, yet the coalition’s unending feud has ultimately led to the current state of affairs.
