Told to quit BN, MCA calls for Nazri’s sacking instead


“Nazri cannot be allowed to escape removal from his BN positions”

(MMO) – MCA demanded Barisan Nasional (BN) remove Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz as its secretary-general today, after he taunted the component for remaining in the coalition it previously considered dead.

MCA secretary-general Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun insisted that a major reason why the former ruling coalition has fallen to such lows was the arrogance of leaders such as Nazri.

Chew also reminded her BN counterpart that the coalition had been formed by Umno, MCA, and MIC that were later joined by another 10 parties, all of which have since abandoned it.

“In brief, BN does not belong to Umno alone; it is the result of a collective struggle by Umno, MCA, and MIC. It is (also) not the absolute property of Nazri Aziz,” she said in a statement.

Chew recounted incidents she considered evidence of Nazri’s haughtiness, such as the latter’s attack on tycoon Robert Kuok prior to the general election.

Aside from refusing to apologise for insulting Kuok, she said the Umno leader also attended a Chinese New Year celebration wearing black — an inauspicious colour for the Chinese — which Chew said further upset the community that was already pulling away from BN.
