Former Kota Melaka MP Wong Nai Chee has confirmed he has been appointed as political secretary to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

NONE Speaking to Sin Chew Daily , the MCA youth central committee member said his appointment will be effective from December.

Wong ( left ) said this is a new challenge for him and that he will take the chance to serve the country.

He also said he will help to convey the concerns of the Chinese community to the prime minister without hiding anything or reporting only the good news.

"We must stick to the principle of society fairness. I will disappoint the prime minister if I passed the wrong messages to him," he said.

However, he also noted that many Chinese associations and NGOs can play the role to communicate with the prime minister directly.

Asked if his political background would give the impression that MCA had placed him into the position for purely political purposes, Wong said such a perception could not be avoided, but stressed that his responsibility was to serve the country.

Wong said also that MCA had not give him any "special mission", as his duty would be up to  the prime minister.

The 42-year old lawyer joined MCA briefly before the 2004 general election, defeating then-DAP secretary-general Kerk Kim Hock.

He was deemed a rising star in MCA until his loss to DAP’s Sim Tong Him in the 2008 general election. He resigned as MCA central committee member in the fallout following the party crisis of 2010.
