The MCA, or Malaysian Chinese Association, has left open the possibility of altering its candidates for the upcoming Melaka state election, according to UMNO President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The announcement of candidates at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) sparked dissatisfaction within MCA, leading to Wee Ka Siong's surprise at not being informed in advance.
Zahid confirmed that final appointment letters have yet to be signed and that final discussions will be held before the deadline of October 31. MCA president Wee Ka Siong walked out of the ceremony and reportedly asked other MCA members to leave, reflecting discontent over the number of seats allocated to the party. The dispute has raised concerns about MCA's endorsement of BN's candidates ahead of the state election, but Zahid's remarks suggest that negotiations may still be possible prior to final appointments being finalized.
