We'll come up with better ideas than finance minister: MCA Youth

MCA Youth has vowed to formulate better economic policies than those put forward by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Towards this, newly minted MCA Youth chief Nicole Wong said she would set up a new committee to come out with such recommendations, which in turn will help the people make more money.

"To govern a country, it is important to let people make their fortunes… so, (strengthening) businesses is one of the ways," she said when delivering her speech at MCA Youth's annual general assembly today.

Wong said MCA, whose members largely comprise the middle class and those from the business community, is able to provide constructive views on the country's economy.

"The Malay and Indian communities acknowledge the Chinese community's ability to do business and make money. As a Chinese-based community, we have lots of talent.

"We believe that MCA has the ability to come up with better ideas than Lim. The people can make huge fortunes and (MCA) will again win the support (of the people)," she said.

"Isn't this another way for us to transform the party ?" she asked, adding that the new committee will place particular focus on youth.
