Like how MCA in jeopardy to stay away from supervision positions if it does worse than in 2008?" pronounced Khoo, adding that a subject was slanted towards a MCA.
"MCA should be looking brazen as well as should be asking itself why have been a Chinese voting opposite a government. MCA should work towards something a Chinese can accept, even if it is a choice of either to sojourn in a BN or move forward."
