00:04The Malacca state election hasn't even started yet.
00:07The internal turmoil within the Barisan Nasional coalition was the first to erupt.
00:09Last Saturday night, the Barisan Nasional coalition announced its list of candidates for Malacca.
00:13MCA originally ran for seven state assembly seats in the previous election.
00:17This time they were cut down to only two seats.
00:19The MCA president was immediately dissatisfied.
00:21Moreover, it was done without prior consultation.
00:24Therefore, he immediately led the MCA leaders in a walkout protest.
00:28It even once indicated that the candidate was not approved by the top leadership of the MCA.
00:32List of people
00:32They will not admit it.
00:34Seeing that the MCA's attitude was very tough
00:36The outside world is paying close attention to this controversy over seat allocation.
00:40Will progress worsen?
00:41Will the MCA ultimately not run for election?
00:44But things have changed today.
00:47MCA ultimately decided to accept the two seats allocated by Barisan Nasional and continue to participate.
00:51select
00:51And they will use the Barisan Nasional flag.
00:54Those two seats refer to the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association).
00:56Jiliwang and Machai, who won the last election, are now in opposition.
01:00Following an emergency meeting held at the MCA building today, Wei Jiaqiang
01:03Pointed out to the media
01:04I met with Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid at noon today.
01:07Regarding the allocation of seats for the MCA
01:09The party's position was expressed and a positive response was received.
01:12Wei Jiaqiang said Zaxi guaranteed
01:14The Malacca state government will not marginalize the Chinese community in the future.
01:18There will also be representatives of Chinese descent.
01:19He emphasized that the most important task at this stage
01:22Or help the Barisan Nasional coalition win the state election and successfully take power.
01:25As for how the relevant arrangements will be implemented...
01:28Further action will be taken after the state government is established.
01:31Wei Jiaqiang also frankly said
01:33Since some things have become facts
01:35This necessitates using alternative methods to address the issue.
01:38Now that you've decided to run for office...
01:40The two MCA candidates have also begun processing [their applications].
01:43Matters related to nomination procedures

01:48They were also exposed one after another.
01:49The two MCA candidates were also on the list.
01:52This shows that MCA has returned to the Barisan Nasional's election strategy.
01:56However, before that
01:58That's not the MCA's stance.
02:00Let's rewind to this morning.
02:02The Barisan Nasional coalition had originally planned to hold the event at the Kuala Lumpur World Trade Centre.
02:05The Ukrainian Union headquarters issued the award in a closed-door manner.

02:14He also told the media at the time
02:16The issue of seat allocation for the MCA has been satisfactorily resolved.
02:19But what's intriguing is...
02:21However, the MCA candidate did not appear at the scene for a long time.
02:24Appear to receive the letter of appointment
02:26Not only that
02:27MCA instead... at 2:30 pm
02:29An emergency meeting was held at the MCA building.
02:32That's what outsiders speculate.
02:33Will the MCA break ties with the Barisan Nasional?
02:36While determined to win more seats...
02:39MCA eventually announced
02:40Accept the original two-seat arrangement
02:43From angry walkouts to current compromise and acceptance
02:46Why did the MCA suddenly change its stance?
02:49Some media outlets quoted sources as saying...
02:52It is said that Amozaxi was at the Parliament building today.
02:54A closed-door meeting with Barisan Nasional (BN) Members of Parliament
02:57During this period, a proposal was put forward to Wee Ka Siong.
03:00Call it the two plus two scheme
03:02What about this two plus two?
03:03It's not about getting two more seats for the MCA.
03:05Instead, he will continue to contest two state assembly seats.
03:07However, as long as the Barisan Nasional coalition wins the Malacca state government...
03:11Two more MCA representatives were appointed.
03:14Appointed as a Nominated State Assemblyman
03:16The Malacca state government can appoint at most [number] people.
03:18Seven appointed state assemblymen
03:20in other words
03:21Even if MCA fails to win the two seats it contested in the state election
03:26If the Barisan Nasional coalition succeeds in governing, it is still possible to obtain two seats through the nominee system.
03:31State legislator seats
03:32Continue to participate in the affairs of state legislators
03:35The report also stated that Wee Ka Siong did not accept the suggestion on the spot.
03:39Instead, it was brought back to the MCA emergency meeting in the afternoon for discussion.
03:42It is said that a heated discussion took place within the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association).
03:45Some worry that accepting this arrangement would set a bad precedent.
03:49However, after some discussion
03:50Ultimately, they accepted Wee Ka Siong's view.
03:53Prioritizing the preservation of political resources
03:56MCA ultimately decided to accept the existing two-seat arrangement.
