MIC, MCA will stay with BN to make necessary changes
KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 (Bernama) -- The MIC and MCA will continue to stay in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition to bring about necessary changes to tackle future political challenges.
MIC President Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said BN component parties had to agree to make changes by taking into account their weaknesses to remain relevant.
He said BN needed to be a good opposition pact to regain the support of the people and MIC would probably reconsider other options if BN's changes did not materialise.
"Today, we (MIC) are still part of BN...we feel BN needs to reform to make up to current challenges and we will see if that reform happens, we can be relevant to political challenges. Otherwise, we will be looking for (other) options," he said when met by reporters after attending a special meeting of the BN Supreme Council chaired by BN Deputy Chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at Menara Dato' Onn tonight.
MCA president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said all component parties would carry out a post-mortem to identify and correct their weaknesses.
"BN is still intact...those who are in BN, we have to go through this changes together," he added.
