People prefer not to have ‘parachute candidates’, says Wee


AYER HITAM: The tendency for Barisan Nasional and MCA to avoid placing “parachute candidates” to contest in elections is a strong point that is favoured by the people, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said that anyone can speculate who will be a candidate in the 15th General Election (GE15) for the Johor Barisan seats, but the final decision will only be known on Nov 3.
