1. The recent statement made by Pahang Menteri Besar, YAB Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, who said that it is ‘easier to work with DAP than MCA’ is a shocking remark that draws a comparison between MCA and DAP while creating a negative perception of MCA.

2. As the Pahang Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairperson, what exactly is YAB Wan Rosdy trying to express with this remark?

3. YAB must clarify his intentions, and elaborate further on what he means by ‘difficult to work with MCA’. Which matter or issue does this refer to, and who does it involve? This is important to clarify so that we, particularly those of us in MCA Pahang, can better understand his intentions and what is being implied.

4. At the same time, it would be best if YAB Menteri Besar could elaborate on the advice given by DAP regarding BN’s shortcomings. Is it because they have admitted to their mistakes in regards to the allegations made against the Lynas rare earth processing plant, and the ‘Great Wall of China’ in Kuantan?

5. As a component part of BN, MCA Pahang continues to work hard in the interests of the rakyat, and strives to regain public support, especially from all communities. We will continue to uphold MCA’s ideology as one of moderation, not extremism.

6. As for the performance of MCA and DAP, we leave it entirely to the rakyat to evaluate.
