Bukan MCA tapi PN penghalang utama DAP di Kota Laksamana, Bandar Hilir

Analysts believe Perikatan Nasional (PN) is the main obstacle for the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in Kota Laksamana and Bandar Hilir, rather than the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA). (Facebook image) According to Sunway University lecturer Wong Chin Huat, MCA risks being seen as a non-entity if it loses both seats, as the primary barrier to DAP's victory remains PN.

With PN and BN united, there is no splitting of votes, instead providing a strategic boost to block PH-DAP's dominance, he said. MCA does not necessarily need to win Kota Laksamana and Bandar Hilir to prove its relevance, as simply reducing PH-DAP's majority would be enough to alert BN that MCA is still relevant and should not be ignored as the general election approaches in 2016.
