Wee is a die hard BN man

Umno supreme council member Datuk Dr Puad Zarkashi is confident that MCA would not desert the BN coalition in spite of the latest reports indicating just that.

“I am confident MCA would not leave BN. What more, MCA is led by (Datuk Seri Dr) Wee Ka Siong. He is a die hard BN man.

“Stories of MCA quitting BN is just a manipulation by certain parties.”

He said this via Facebook in response to reports that MCA would leave the 72-year-old coalition because of two key issues.

One, was Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s announcement that BN would cooperate with PH in the next general election.

Second, grassroot MCA members are unhappy over seat allocations.

Another coalition member, MIC is expected to follow suit too.

Puad meanwhile had a different notion regarding MCA’s dissatisfaction.

“MCA ought to feel sidelined as it has no role in the federal government. That was the reality faced by Umno under the PN administration. There was no respect for Umno.”

On that note he had a piece of advice for MCA.

“MCA still has an exco position each in Melaka and Johor. Quitting BN is not a good option.

“You may lose what you already while hoping for something.
