KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) - The MCA will not lobby for more seats at the next general election but will ensure that candidates have potential to ensure a Barisan Nasional win.
Its president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said quota of seats would not become an issue as it was more important for BN component parties to work hard for victory.
He was commenting a statement by Gerakan president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon that distribution of seats for Kepong parliamentary constituency was incorrect.
Speaking to reporters at a Chinese New Year function in Jinjang Sunday night, Chua said he appreciate the trust given by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should he let MCA contest Kepong seat.
Kepong became an issue after Kepong Umno division chief Datuk Rizuan Hamid said the seat should be given to MCA as it had better chance of winning than Gerakan.
Kepong parliamentary seat is currently held by DAP vice-chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw.
