KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional must go into the next general election by strenuously protecting its traditional seats, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. From left Ling Tian Soon, Datuk Lawrence Low, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng, Datuk Dr Mah. From right were Datuk Wong You Fong, Datuk Tan Teik Cheng, Datuk Lim Ban Hong and Datuk Chong Sin Woon. On Malaysia’s “electoral schedule”, Dr Wee said MCA expected the Melaka state election to be held this year, followed by the Johor polls in early 2027. Dr Wee set two objectives: MCA must win more state seats than in the previous election, and Barisan must win both state elections under its own banner.
