  "summary": "MCA leaders walked out of a Barisan Nasional event in Melaka after objecting to the party's handling of candidate announcements and seat allocations, according to The Star. The dispute centered on constituencies previously contested by MCA, which the party claimed had been allocated to other parties without formal negotiations or mutual consent. MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that MCA cannot be \"pushed around\" and deserved to be treated with dignity. The walkout involved Wee, MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon, and representatives from six MCA divisions in Melaka during the event held at the Melaka International Trade Centre.",
