MCA regrets its Titi Tinggi assemblyperson Khaw Hock Kong did not express the party's stand and instead walked out, when the Perlis legislative assembly passed an amendment allowing for unilateral conversion of children.

"Our party leadership is of the view that Khaw should have expressed our party's firm position of 'ibubapa' (father and mother) during the debate in the state assembly," said MCA deputy president Wee Ka Siong in a Facebook posting last night.
