00:01First of all, I would like to thank all voters for their support and I can see that the two
00:07incumbent, YB Datuk Lim Ban Hong and YB Datuk Nguyen He Sam, both performed very well.
00:16The majority of Ban Hong was only 800 plus.
00:20This time around at least 6,000 plus and two more ballots box to be announced.
00:27So, I think it may be approaching 7,000 majority and whereas YB Sam, he got about 900 over majority
00:39and this time around, he has increased to at least 2,000 plus and again two more ballots
00:46box not yet to be opened.
00:48So in other words, the two incumbent has been recognized as good wakirayat that served the
00:55constituency very well and that translated into votes today and the support.
01:01As a party president, I feel very honored to have these two very hard working wakirayat.
01:08I hope they can perform even better and play their role in the state government.
01:14And Datuk Sri, for Kota, Laksamana and also Bandai Lesid, right, although MCA didn't make it,
01:20however, TAP's majority also actually jatuh quite a lot.
01:25Do you think that MCA can charge?
01:26I think, as I already mentioned before, these two seats are very tough seats for MCA.
01:32It was traditionally won by the AP.
01:36We sent our candidate to contest.
01:39It's the proof that we want to test the ground whether we still can get some votes from them.
01:46So today, I would say, as compared to the previous election, we lost all the deposits
01:51of which they still have for students.
01:54And today, we retained that and we have crossed the minimum threshold.
02:01So that shows that we have already improved, but there's still more room for us to improve.
02:08So I think MCA as a party, we need to adjust ourselves from time to time, perform better.
02:16As a Chinese-based party or Chinese party, we are not afraid of the Chinese community.
02:22And even though it's 75% or even more Chinese percentage,
02:29but as a party, we really need to take up the challenge.
02:34So today, we have proven that and at least we improve our results
02:39and there are more room for us to upgrade ourselves.
02:52And so, we do think we have to stay with the opportunity for the other players.
02:54And for this, what we do for the next time, we'll be going to keep up and we're doing,
02:55So please, have a chance, we're going to be going to get any of these questions.
