Hishammuddin Hussein has asked the BN Youth Movement to take action against the Pasir Gudang MCA Youth which wants to sever ties with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak over the 'Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu' issue.
The Umno vice-president said the statement by Pasir Gudang MCA Youth chief, Chia Chow Hui to break ties with Najib, who is also Umno president and BN chairman was inappropriate and should be reevaluated.
"I want to remind them of the many MCA leadership crises that has occurred before this and we in BN, especially UMNO never negated the MCA leadership when they faced a difficult situation," he said.
He was speaking to reporters after the Aidiladha 'Korban Perdana' event in the Sembrong parliamentary constituency at the Dataran Taman Desa Sejahtera today.
Hishammuddin, who is also Sembrong Umno division head, said the Pasir Gudang MCA Youth must return to MCA's resolutions and support BN and the leadership of its chairman.
He also agreed with MCA president Liow Tiong Lai and Johor Menteri Besar Mohamed Khaled Nordin, who is also state BN chairperson, that the MCA Youth division right its political direction.
