SIPITANG: MCA should not have released a statement to urge Barisan Nasional (BN) Chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to step down.
Sipitang Umno Youth Chief Sani Miasin, who is also State BN Treasurer, said this in support of Sabah BN Chairman Datuk Seri Bung Mokthar Radin who said MCA should look at itself in the mirror before making the statement.
“MCA’s action was not appropriate as within a struggle the friendship should be prioritised,” he said, adding it should also not single out one leader for what happened to BN.
“What Bung said was appropriate and true. MCA should look at itself first as its own strength wouldn’t have won the party any seats in the 15th General Election.
“Without BN, MCA was nobody as without Umno’s voters, it’s debatable whether they could win under BN ticket.
“This is the reality that has to be accepted by MCA and so they should not be egoistic and make inappropriate statements against the Umno and BN leadership, especially towards Zahid,” said Sani.
He opined that the MCA President should instead relinquish his post gracefully for the party’s failure in the recent election. MCA President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong should resign from his post as the party could only win two seats out of the 42 seats it contested,” he said.
