PETALING JAYA: MCA’s decision to side with Bersatu, by backing the current government, will lead to a parting of ways between the party and its longtime partner Umno, according to a political scientist.

Wong Chin Huat said the Umno-MCA alliance had been “approaching death” after the 2018 general election, when Barisan Nasional (BN) lost power.

He said MCA’s decision to side with Bersatu over Umno would only see the end “come earlier and officially”.


MCA president Wee Ka Siong was among a group of MPs from BN, said to be 31 in number, who had declared support for the Bersatu-led Perikatan Nasional government, headed by Muhyiddin Yassin.

The declaration of support came in the wake of Umno’s decision last week to withdraw support for Muhyiddin and the PN government.
