TG PIAI POLLS | MCA is not yet a member of Muafakat Nasional said Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
"Not yet, we are still BN first," Ismail said at a press conference in Parliament today.
PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan previously said that the Muafakat Nasional charter clearly states that Umno also means BN, MCA and MIC, and PAS means Gagasan Sejahtera, Berjasa and Ikatan.
When asked about this, Ismail (above) said it would be discussed at another press conference.
MCA and MIC had previously not stated clearly whether they were a part of the Muafakat Nasional alliance between PAS and Umno.
However, the two parties now appear to be warming up to it.
In a BN-PAS ceramah last Wednesday, MCA president Wee Ka Siong in his opening remarks had referred to Muafakat Nasional as a form of opposition solidarity.
Last night, at a Muafakat Nasional Youth event, MCA Youth chief Nicole Wong said the concept of Muafakat Nasional is for the opposition to work together towards something better.
Meanwhile, MIC Youth chief R Thinalan said Muafakat Nasional showed how all races can stand together for the sake of the people.
PAS has pledged to back BN candidate Wee Jeck Seng for the by-election. - Mkini
