PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional component parties MCA and MIC have called for an urgent meeting of the coalition’s top leadership to decide on its future, saying they no longer believe it was committed to multiracialism. In a joint statement by their presidents Wee Ka Siong and S A Vigneswaran, the two parties – which have for decades been part of the alliance that ruled Malaysia from independence to May 9 last year – expressed regret with the silence of Umno leaders over what they said were “racial remarks” by Padang Rengas MP Nazri Aziz.
“The uncalled for racial remarks by Nazri have further damaged the ties between the three founding parties,” the duo said.
