BENTONG: For the first time, MCA will introduce its own election manifesto, to complement Barisan Nasional's pledges, its president said.

Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said MCA will announce "10 promises and 10 initiatives" this Sunday (April 8), a day after the unveiling of Barisan's manifesto.

"Our promises are already in Barisan's manifesto but as a party, MCA is committing ourselves to do more for the rakyat.

"We want to show the rakyat that MCA will go the extra mile. The 10 promises and 10 initiatives will be implemented in the next five years," he said.

Liow, who is also Transport Minister, invited the people to look at Barisan's track record and compare it with that of Pakatan Harapan's.

"Barisan has successfully fulfilled its promises in the past five years. We carried out all programmes and projects to ensure continuous development for the rakyat," he said.

Liow was speaking to reporters after attending the groundbreaking ceremony of 12 new classrooms at SJK(C) Perting here.

As Bentong MP, Liow matched the fund dollar for dollar raised by the school, bringing the total money raised to RM1mil.
