MCA recruiting young members to stay relevant, says Wee

 

MCA president Wee Ka Siong said young blood is needed in the party to help them understand the problems of the younger generation.

SEREMBAN: MCA president Wee Ka Siong said the party is trying to recruit more young members to continue to stay relevant and competitive in the country’s political arena.

He said the party must strive to attract the participation of more youths as young as 18 as almost 90% of MCA’s members are now aged 40 and above.

“So, I think we need to rejuvenate and get more young people to join our party, and help us understand the problems of the younger generation,” he said after officiating the Negeri Sembilan MCA annual general meeting today.

To achieve that, he said the party leadership should use various platforms to woo the young, through community programmes and charity work.

Most importantly, he said, the party must have new talents who are articulate and have extensive knowledge to counter allegations made against the party. - FMT
