PONTIAN: The Tanjung Piai MCA candidate from Barisan Nasional was defeated in the 14th General Election (GE14) last year, but the current sentiments among Chinese voters may give hope to the party. The Tanjung Piai MCA division chief had some experience at the federal level as he was the deputy youth and sports minister from 2008 to 2010. MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, who was at the event, received a warm welcome from the audience, who seemed elated about meeting a political celebrity. When contacted, MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker said the party would not employ populist promises. He said MCA’s machinery must work around the clock with its grassroots members in Tanjung Piai.
