00:00A former MCA vice president claims there is growing dissatisfaction within the party,

00:07with grassroots members questioning its future in Barisan National after being let on by UMNO

00:13for the longest time. Commenting on a news report on the matter,

00:18Tilian Kerr said the party's grassroots members believe UMNO has abandoned BN's

00:23principles to join forces with DAP in a bid to remain in power, leaving MCA members sidelined

00:30and disillusioned. He said the party must decide whether to remain in BN and be satisfied with

00:38crumbs thrown its way or break away to forge its own path at risk of losing everything.

00:45Tilian Kerr said that by continuing in BN, MCA may end up proving DAP's claim that the party

00:51has always been subservient to UMNO. This, he said, would tarnish the party's image and

00:57credibility. He also claimed that many members were dissatisfied with MCA s current state and

01:03felt the leadership must show courage by making firm and strategic decisions to provide clear

01:08direction for the party, adding that time was running out for its preparation for the next

01:14general election.

01:16On Sunday, Sinshu Daily reported MCA Secretary-General Chong Sing-Wun as urging the party to take charge

01:23of its own destiny if BN continues to drag its feet over a clear course for the coalition.

01:30Chong was reported to have said that MCA had already given BN more than two years to recalibrate

01:36after GE15, but the coalition s indecisiveness has left party members frustrated and uncertain.
