MCA and Gerakan – rivals from Barisan Nasional (BN) and Perikatan Nasional (PN) respectively – will attempt to break Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) monopoly in Kuala Lumpur in the next general election, party insiders said.

MCA is expected to contest five traditional seats – Cheras, Seputeh, Bukit Bintang, Wangsa Maju and Bandar Tun Razak – and an additional three.
