MCA Walkout

The Selangor BN convention was marked with controversy after 15 representatives from the Kapar MCA division walked out of the event shortly after the opening ceremony. Kapar MCA division chief Song Kee Chai told Malaysiakini that division representatives were outraged that the coalition's maiden state convention was preceded by the singing of the Umno anthem, soon after the BN anthem. “This convention is organised in the name of BN, not Umno. So singing the Umno song does not reflect BN and the 1Malaysia spirit,” he said when contacted this afternoon. Additionally, Song said division representatives were also upset that only Umno leaders were invited to sit on the stage, while leaders from other component parties were seated with the crowd.
He said his members were also upset with the keynote address by Noh Omar, who alluded that non-Malays should be grateful that they were granted Malaysian citizenship. Meanwhile, MIC secretary-general S Murugesan also expressed unhappiness that no arrangements were made for non-Umno leaders to be on stage.Despite boycotting most of the activities at the convention, Song said some of his members would return later today when Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is scheduled to officiate the 'Selangor Takeover Plan (Stop)' campaign.
I guess MIC did not even lift their asses off the chair? Hello ini BN component party takde malukah? People don’t respect them yet still want to go one huh?
