“As a former member who faced various challenges, I am confident that we will be able to explore a new path,” he said when opening the 49th MCA Youth general assembly at Dewan San Choon, Wisma MCA here Thursday.
MCA Youth should be prepared for the next general election by dominating the social media to deliver theparty’s agenda and achievements to the young.
“MCA Youth should engage young people, especially firstthe time voters. With this approach, I believe that the party can regain support at the next general election.”
Liow, who is a candidate for the MCA president’s post said the party refused to admit defeat and would strengthen spirit and work hard for the sake of the party and the people, especially the Chinese.
The MCA’s less favourable performance in the last general election could not be sustained and the party should rise in the country’s political arena.

In his speech, Wee, who is also the candidate for the MCA deputy president’s post said party’s transformation would only happen if there was change, unity and action.
He urged all leaders and members, whether winners or losers, to unite and fight with team spirit to face a critical period to regain its former glory.
The MCA would help the government win over the people via formulation of policies to protect the interests of all communities so that Barisan Nasional (BN) continues to be the party of choice for Malaysians.
