SELANGOR Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari has given his assurance that MCA and MIC will be included in the future administration of the state if parties in the unity government win the upcoming election. 

Amirudin, who is also Selangor Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman, said the involvement of parties that represent the unity government was crucial in ensuring political stability in the state. 

Therefore, he hoped for MCA and MIC’s involvement in election campaigns even though both parties have decided to sit out the six state elections to be held next month. 

“They should also be included in the campaign and the future administration of the state. This is because we want to maintain the concept of the unity government, which I regard as the solution to the political uncertainty created in 2020. 

“I want more people to be involved (because) more heads are better than one,” he told a press conference today. 

On Wednesday, MCA and MIC announced that they would stay out of the six state polls to focus on preparing for the next general election. 

The Election Commission had announced that Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor, and Negri Sembilan would go to the polls on August 12, with nominations set for July 29 and early voting for August 8. – Bernama, July 7, 2023.
