MCA 'kunci mulut' soal agihan kerusi PRU15

JOHOR BAHRU: MCA mengunci mulut berhubung soal pengagihan kerusi bersama parti komponen yang lain dalam Barisan Nasional (BN).

Presidennya Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong menyifatkan terlalu awal untuk soal berkenaan dibangkitkan.

"Kita kena bekerja setiap masa. Kita tidak mahu jadi bidan terjun hanya berada di kawasan menjelang atau sebelum Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) sahaja. Ini tidak dialukan," kata beliau dalam sidang media selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat MCA Johor di Ibu Pejabat MCA itu di sini, hari ini.

Ahli Parlimen Ayer Hitam itu berkata MCA perlu mempunyai satu gerak kerja yang kukuh untuk mendampingi rakyat kerana buat masa ini, terdapat banyak isu yang harus diberi perhatian termasuklah membantu rakyat yang kehilangan pekerjaan akibat pandemik COVID-19.

"Pada ketika ini kita sepatutnya tunjuk keprihatinan kerana ada rakyat hidup susah. Kita perlu hulur bantuan dengan menggunakan jaringan yang ada," katanya.

Beliau juga berkata :"MCA, MIC dan UMNO adalah adik beradik, bersama dengan Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) kita adalah satu keluarga."

Consider This: Transnational Repression (Part 2) — Are Our Governments Enabling It?

Authoritarian regimes don’t stop at their own borders—often reaching across countries to track, detain, and deport refugees, activists, and migrants. This is transnational repression: when a state extends its repression beyond its own beyond their borders to control or punish its citizens abroad. Malaysia and Thailand, two of Southeast Asia’s biggest hubs for migrants and refugees, have become key battlegrounds for transnational repression. With Malaysia helming ASEAN chair this year, what role does the region play in resisting, or enabling, transnational repression? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Krittaporn Semsantad, Programme Director at the Bangkok-based Peace Rights Foundation.
