MCA Youth Relations In BN Should Be Strengthened - Dr Mah

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 -- The close relations between MCA Youth and Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth should continue to be strengthened as it is a vital movement of the coalition, MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said.

As MCA’s frontline, the youth wing must play its role in that direction and carry the voice of the Chinese community and resolve matters within existing mechanisms in BN while noting that MCA Youth should also be conscious and take strong stands in stating views relating to common interests, especially for the Chinese.

“We need to be strong and resilient to face all challenges. MCA has been at a low point, but with support and determination from members and leaders, we have risen up to fight for freedom, democracy and justice.

“I urge MCA Youth to stand up and show your courage to defend the dignity and values of freedom, democracy and justice,” he said during his speech at the MCA Youth Assembly at Wisma MCA today.

He also said that BN’s big wins in the Nenggiri and Mahkota by-elections proved MCA’s role in securing votes and contributing to the coalition’s victories.

The wins also proved that voters are now confident of BN’s multi-party cooperation model and appreciated the development and prosperity brought by the coalition for over 60 years.

“MCA Youth as politicians need to be more sensitive, and respond faster with more accuracy at any time,” he added.
