MCA to amend constitution to strengthen recruitment

MCA president Wee Ka Siong has proposed to amend the party's constitution to strengthen the recruitment of multiracial associate members.

At the 66th MCA annual general assembly today, he said MCA had already opened its affiliate membership to all since the establishment of the party.

"Although MCA is synonymous with the Chinese, but we (adopt) openness by fighting for the fate of all races," he said, stressing that the party has never sidelined other ethnic groups.

"I still remember, an Indian man was among our earliest associate members," he said.

He hoped the acceptance of MCA associate members will set a new chapter in the political arena.

Yesterday, MCA deputy president Dr Mah Hang Soon said associate members have no right to vote in a meeting or assembly.

Meanwhile, Wee also said MCA will amend the party constitution to lower the membership age from 18 to 16.

"This is in line with the Dewan Rakyat passed the constitutional amendment to lower the voting age from 21 to 18," he said.
