00:01Cooperation between political parties is increasingly necessary, as no single party or coalition can easily govern alone under the current
00:10political landscape, says MCA President Datuk Sri Dr. Vika Xiong.
00:42Speaking at the opening of MCA's State Conventions Nationwide via live broadcast on Wednesday, Dr. Wee said cooperation must be
00:51guided by three principles.
00:53First, parties must share common ground on governance and major policies.
00:57If we don't have a common sense of nationality, any cooperation is impossible to do.
01:04We have a difference between the parties and the views of some of the parties and the views of some
01:10of the parties.
01:10This is a very normal view of the民主 society.
01:13However, the most important thing is that the parties must have a complete cooperation.
01:19Second, cooperation must take into account MCA's survival and the interests of Barisan National,
01:26with all parties involved showing sincerity.
01:29Dr. Wee urged AMNO to carefully assess its potential partners, saying its decisions would affect Barisan as a whole.
01:38Third, MCA must have sufficient strength to back its demands at the negotiating table.
01:49Dr. Wee said MCA must strengthen its grassroots machinery and prepare for elections instead of relying on its headquarters.
01:58He cited its gains in Johor, where it went from having no state seats in 2018 to winning eight this
02:05year,
02:05as well as its return to the Negrisembilan State Assembly, with two seats after a 13-year absence.
02:11He cautioned members against complacency, saying the general election,
02:16Malacca state election and other state polls could take place around the same period.
02:23Malacca state election and other state polls could take place around the same period.
02:53Dr. Wee also said candidates should be chosen based on their ability to win rather than party positions,
03:00and urged MCA to rely on grassroots service to connect with voters.
03:06He urged MCA to strengthen its organization, remain humble and stay close to the grassroots.
03:17Jesus Wigang, President of the United States in China,
03:18He said, we must cooperate with others.
03:21His generality in an important process is to protect them from every这么 long history.
03:23In the United States, the government of the United States is the best to establish the best of the government.
03:26In the United States, the government of the United States is the best to protect their lives that are going
03:28through to the border.
03:28and also believe in the United States of Ukraine.
03:28The U.S. government of the United States is a tyreist to protect their rights.
