JOHOR BARU: MCA has launched a new service centre in Taman Perling to boost grassroots engagement and better serve local residents, particularly working adults who struggle to access assistance during regular hours.
The centre, led by Nicol Tan Hiang Kee, who also serves as an Iskandar Puteri City Council councillor, will operate by appointment to provide flexible support for community members seeking help with paperwork or local issues.
The centre was launched by MCA Youth chief Ling Tian Soon, who said the party’s strength lies in its consistent service to the people, regardless of electoral outcomes.
“Serving the people has always been MCA’s core principle. Whether we win or lose elections, our commitment remains unchanged,” he said during the event on Friday (June 27).
Ling praised party leaders such as Johor MCA deputy Youth chief Chua Jian Boon and Tan herself for continuing to serve their communities even after contesting unsuccessfully in previous elections.
He also noted that the new service centre reflects MCA’s ongoing efforts to stay connected with the grassroots.
“Whether it's at coffee shops, markets, or wherever the people are, it is easy to find representatives from MCA.”
Addressing recent public concerns, Ling said MCA would continue to speak up on issues such as the expansion of the Sales and Service Tax and the SPM grade distinctions.
"Some policies may have inadvertently affected certain groups. That is when representatives must speak up," he said.
