Wee: MCA fully backs Ismail Sabri as PM if BN wins GE15

GE15 | MCA has reiterated the party’s stance in supporting Ismail Sabri Yaakob as the 10th prime minister candidate if BN wins the 15th general election (GE15) and forms the government.

MCA president Wee Ka Siong also advised voters not to be influenced by certain parties claiming that his party does not support the Bera incumbent MP to become PM.

He said the backing was to enable the Umno vice-president to continue his duties as head of the government to ensure the continuity of the previously planned agenda.

“Previously, the Umno Supreme Council proposed Ismail Sabri as its candidate to be the 10th PM (and) MCA backs that proposal. Now, MCA reiterates its stance to continue supporting that.

“Ismail Sabri will not only be the 9th PM but he will also be made the 10th PM later, that is our agreement in BN. It has not changed at all,” he told reporters after a meet-and-greet session with the Yong Peng Vegetable Growers’ Association today.

Meanwhile, Wee (above, left), who is the Ayer Hitam incumbent, called on candidates from opposition parties not to meddle in the internal matters of others.

“We in BN also do not meddle in their affairs although they have claimed victory through polls and surveys. We do not want to know, the important thing in BN is to win GE15 first,” he said.

Wee said this when responding to claims by Pakatan Harapan that one vote to BN would mean one vote for Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to become PM.
