MCA might now have to eat humble pie after announcing its plan to exit BN together with MIC.
The endorsement of the Umno-PAS marriage by Barisan Nasional’s major non-Malay coalition partners MCA and MIC comes with a dash of irony.
Hoping that playing on the sentiments of the Chinese that the Islamist party will trample on the rights of non-Muslims, MCA embarked on a strategy to demonise PAS and capitalise on the Chinese community’s fears and prejudices.Several issues had begun to drive a wedge between the government and the non-Muslim electorate.
In an interview with then-party president Chua Soi Lek, he said there would come a time when MCA would be redundant, and DAP would become the next leading Chinese party. Today, following the 2018 general election, PPBM is leading the Pakatan Harapan government. It is led by DAP’s once-sworn enemy, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, and comprises former Umno leaders.
Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan, who is also BN acting chairman, deserves credit for playing the role of a unifier. Nazri Aziz who added fuel to the fire by saying MCA and MIC know where the door is, is no longer BN secretary-general. Whether it was a subtle threat or not, Bossku was right when he said it would not be healthy if BN wins the election without the support of the non-Malays.
