Amid Jawi tussle, PAS proposes replacing MCA as Muafakat Nasional partner
PAS central committee member Nasrudin Hassan has proposed replacing MCA as a Muafakat Nasional coalition partner.
He said this should be the case if MCA wants to be"racist like DAP" amid the party's criticism of the police's move to block a gathering in Kajang today to discuss the introduction of three pages of Jawi lessons to the Year 4 Bahasa Malaysia syllabus. The United Chinese School Committees' Association of Malaysia , which is against the introduction, has agreed to call off the gathering after it was served an injunction by the Kajang police.
"If MCA is uncomfortable with Muafakat Nasional or if MCA wants to be racist like DAP, Muafakat can seek out alternatives.Yesterday, MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon"The government can organise a Malay Dignity Congress, but Chinese groups can't organise a closed-door meeting? "Don't the Chinese have the right to assemble? Are the Chinese ministers on holiday now? They've all become quiet and do not dare to speak?" he had said.Following the alliance, PAS has adopted a friendly approach to Umno's BN partners MIC and MCA and have assisted them in by-elections, including the recently concluded Tanjung Piai by-election in which MCA won.
