Melaka polls: BN-MCA candidate dispute to be resolved before nomination day
The Barisan Nasional (BN) has assured that an internal dispute involving its component parties will be resolved before the nomination day for the Melaka election this Saturday. BN secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir met with Melaka BN chairman Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh and MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong to seek a mutually agreed solution.
The three parties have confirmed that the matter will be settled before nomination day, although they declined to elaborate on the proposed resolution. The development has raised questions over the status of two MCA incumbents announced by BN, Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem for Machap Jaya and Datuk Lim Ban Hong for Klebang.
