00:04How many seats did the MCA lose in Malacca this time?
00:08In the last election, the MCA contested seven state assembly seats.
00:11In this election, the Barisan Nasional coalition will contest a total of 21 seats.
00:14But only two seats were allocated to the MCA.
00:16That reduction was as high as 71%.
00:18Both are component parties of the Barisan Nasional coalition.
00:20The Congress Party's seats will be 100% retained.
00:23The number of seats in the hutong has simply been reduced from 20 to 18.
00:26Only the MCA was hit the hardest.
00:27So it's no wonder Wei Jiaxiang said that.
00:29What is the situation for the MCA?
00:31According to the exclusive interview with New South Wales Daily...
00:34Wei Jiaxiang said that MCA can understand the reduction of one seat.
00:37But you'll drop from seven seats to two seats.
00:40This number is unacceptable to the MCA.
00:43He had long ago spoken to Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid.
00:45Make his bottom line clear.
00:46You need to get at least one seat in each of the four states for the MCA.
00:50In other words, the MCA has actually taken a big step back.
00:53However, the other party only gave half of the bottom line.
00:56What frustrated the MCA even more was
00:57What was taken was precisely the Chinese community.
01:00According to the electoral roll for the fourth quarter of 2024
01:03Chinese voters make up 76% of the electorate in Godara Shamana.
01:07Yili 73%
01:09Kasai Atsushi's figure is 56%.
01:11These are all predominantly Chinese constituencies.
01:13Chinese Egyptians make up 47% of the population.
01:15It is the mixed district with the highest proportion of Chinese Americans among these seven districts.
01:19All of these were taken away.
01:21The MCA chief minister, Keri Wan, and Mah Chye were left behind.
01:25Malay voters comprised 69% and 47% respectively.
01:29None of these are places where Chinese people are the majority.
01:31constituencies that are resisting Malay votes
01:34Wei Jiaqiang emphasized
01:35Mixed constituencies like Le Gheshidang in Egypt
01:38MCA insists on striving
01:40It is absolutely impossible to hand it over to a top player.
01:43As for who exactly got the Chinatown area...
01:46Wee Ka Keong said these constituency opponents were describing the party
01:49Then the Barisan Nasional coalition ceded them to...
01:52Malaysian Indian People's Party, Vision Party, Gerakan Party
01:55What he was most dissatisfied with was
01:56MCA has been working in these areas for so many years
01:58Grassroots leaders and city councilors have long served the people.
02:02Then a political party that hadn't done anything locally
02:04This way, you can directly take the opportunity to go on the field.
02:07The work those city councilors do
02:10Wouldn't it have been all for nothing?
02:11He also emphasized the role of MCA in Chinese communities and mixed-race areas with a large Chinese population.
02:15They have been preparing for a long time.
02:16No other political party could possibly have an advantage over the MCA.
02:19Therefore, MCA is contesting in these constituencies.
02:21It's a matter of course.
02:24The fact that they couldn't reach an agreement is one thing.
02:26What infuriated Wei Jiaqiang even more was the procedure.
02:29Wei Jiaqiang told the New South Wales Daily
02:31Amozashi had told him earlier
02:33The date to announce the candidates
02:35He had already clearly opposed it at the time.
02:37Because the negotiations between MCA and Barisan Nasional have not yet been completed.
02:40As a result, the Malacca Barisan Nasional chairman himself announced the candidate.
02:44They even bypassed the MCA's recommendation process.
02:46He described this as "covering up the sky with one hand".
02:50Not only did it violate the prior consensus
02:51This also left the MCA completely unaware.
02:54They lost the constituency they were originally going to run for.
02:56Then someone might ask
02:58The announcement regarding Lin Wanfeng and Wei Xiseng
03:00Isn't he a former state legislator?
03:02Wei Jiaqiang said
03:03Even being a former member does not automatically guarantee a recommendation from the MCA.
03:07Because of the power to recommend candidates
03:09It is in the hands of the member party chairperson
03:12Wei Jiaqiang even issued a warning.
03:13If MCA continues to be disrespected
03:16The Party does not rule out making a major decision.
03:19According to the report...
03:20Wei Jiaqiang said some very harsh words.
03:21The original text is read aloud.
03:23Don't play with me.
03:24We came out of respect.
03:26If you guys play me
03:27I will walk.
03:28Don't think that what I did...
03:30There will always be a long-term fear of doing it.
03:32But at the same time
03:33Wei Jiaqiang also emphasized
03:34MCA is actually quite easy to talk to.
03:37Everything can be discussed.
03:38We can discuss any solution.
03:41The premise is
03:41All parties should respect the principles and positions of the member parties.
03:45He then cited the example of the Johor state election.
03:47He said at that time
03:48Member parties can still negotiate.
03:50Seat arrangement
03:51This is the true spirit of brotherhood supporting each other!
