MCA to start rejuvenation process in Johor, aims for 4k new members

MCA will begin the party's rejuvenation process through its youth and women’s wings in Johor by targeting 4,000 new members in preparation for the next general election.

Its president Wee Ka Siong said the move was important following the implementation of Undi18.

"We have a pretty good party structure because MCA now has two MPs and seven assemblypersons.

"Six of them (two MPs and four assemblypersons) come from Johor, so Johor needs to be a pioneer in leading the party's rejuvenation movement so that we can do something much better in the future," he told a press conference after launching the 2023 Johor MCA Annual Convention yesterday.

The Ayer Hitam MP said the work to gain 4,000 new members in Johor will be done immediately before it is implemented in other states in stages.

“A large number of members is not the main factor in winning an election, but it is crucial in the party's rejuvenation efforts. Whether we like it or not, we need to increase our membership immediately," he added.

Meanwhile, the former transport minister said MCA will remain committed to BN and continue to support the unity government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
