Johor polls: MCA denies delay in candidate reveal due to party eyeing Umno seats

JOHOR BARU, Feb 24 — MCA today denied that the delay in naming its candidates for the Johor state election was caused by the party demanding Umno seats.Earlier today, Umno named its 37 candidates and four from MIC. MCA had also been expected to name its 15 candidates, completing BN’s plans to contest all 56 state seats on March 12.

“This is because each component party is under one umbrella, namely BN, which is fighting for the fate of all the people regardless of race or religion. Chong said the media outlets that published the baseless reports appeared to be attempting to trigger infighting among BN component parties by targeting MCA.

Chong explained that the MCA’s candidate selection was decided by the top leadership of BN in private and decided by consensus as was practised before.
