MCA organising secretary: 70pc of MCA branches are dead
There were even leaders of youth and women’s wing branches who were not aware they were holding such positions.
In a Nanyang Siang Pau article today, Yoo said there were even leaders of youth and women’s wing branches who were not aware that they were holding such positions.
“From 1995 to 2004, MCA scored big victories in three general elections in a row.
“Many leaders have been in their comfort zones to the point that they ignored servicing the people and did not get close to the people.
“As a result, the party suffered two losses in a row in the last two general elections,” he said when opening the Kuala Kedah MCA division delegates’ meeting.
Yoo said the party had 1.08 million members but suffered losses in the last two general elections as half of the party’s members did not support MCA candidates.
In the past three years, he said, MCA had registered 600,000 new members and if they voted for MCA candidates in GE 14, they would become “fixed deposits” for the party.
MCA has seven lawmakers in Parliament and 12 assemblymen in seven state assemblies in the country.
