MCA was not consulted on the removal of Barisan Nasional secretary-general Annuar Musa, the component party said today.

The ethnic Chinese party’s leadership was neither notified or consulted and had to find out via media reports, it said in a statement.

“The MCA Supreme council only knew about this through media reports and it has never been negotiated among the component parties in BN, nor has it been decided by the BN Supreme Council.

“So far, MCA has not been able to confirm the legitimacy of the news of the removal of Annuar Musa as BN Secretary General.”

MCA’s statement follows news of Annuar’s removal.

This was later confirmed by Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan, who replaces Annuar in the BN post.

Ahmad had also previously replaced Annuar as Umno secretary-general.

Annuar’s removal follows mounting criticism of his statements that appear to be constantly in defence of Bersatu and the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government over Umno’s interests, angering other party leaders.

Last week, Annuar also rebuked Umno youth chief Asyraf Wajdi for claiming Umno will no longer negotiate with PAS for seats in the 15th general elections.

MCA said that any appointments or removal involving a coalition post can only be done by consensus of the BN supreme council, which has not called for any meeting.

“Any appointment to a position in BN, it must be made based on the BN constitution and, conventionally, this nomination must be presented and agreed by consensus in the BN Supreme Council Meeting,” MCA’s statement read.

BN now comprises Umno as the lead party, MCA, MIC and PBRS. – January 5, 2021.

  • MCA is just a doormat in UMNOs eyes. They have no respect or any considerations for MCA or MIC for that matter. Wee Kia Seong is only there to do their bidding and for show. MCA has become a very pathetic party.

  • Why some people are not informed? Because they are always giving the same answer anyway? Yes Sir, Aye aye Sir! So why bother? Because what their opinion is it is inconsequential? Because you never ask your dog for opinions do you?

  • UMNO is now trying to show its might to reclaim its right as the dominant malay party after having got batttered at the last election. The party wouldn't care who is its friend or foe and will bulldoze what it think need to be done.
