MCA not a party of ‘towkay’

PETALING JAYA: MCA began as a party that fought for people from every level of society and continues to do so even now, although it was set up by a group of business leaders, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The MCA president said the label of “parti towkay” (party of business owners or bosses) does not reflect its legacy of serving the interests of the people since pre-Merdeka times.

Dr Wee: ‘We don’t want the rakyat to fight each other. That’s why we are seen as a party that is not extreme. We want to bring out the spirit of muhibbah.’
