Too early to call Melaka seat talks positive, says MCA chief
KUALA LUMPUR: It is premature to describe discussions on MCA’s seat allocation for the upcoming Melaka state election as “positive“, as both sides remain some distance from reaching an agreement, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
Melaka BN chairman Ab Rauf Yusoh described his discussions with MCA president Dr Wee Ka Siong as positive. The talks were nearing a resolution of outstanding issues regarding seat allocation for the upcoming state election. However, Rauf stated that no decision could be made at this point. He emphasized that the discussions were constructive and helped clear several lingering questions.
Rauf, who is also the state BN election director, noted that despite Wee's differing opinion, he perceived the talks positively. He stated that they would await the party's top leadership decision and that no further discussions were planned. Earlier, Wee claimed that MCA did not view its negotiations with BN as a positive outcome, even though the meeting was peaceful and cordial.
He added that the party had not reached its goals and more talks were necessary to address the seat allocation issue.
