PETALING JAYA: Right from the start, the MCA knew it was in for a brutal fight that could leave it badly bruised and battered. And the results indeed proved to be so: at press time, it had garnered only 15 of the 40 parliamentary seats it had contested in.
This is in contrast to its 82% success rate of 31 parliamentary and 76 state seats in the 2004 general election. (At press time, of the 90 state seats contested, the number won was not available.)
