According to MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, the year of the Dragon will bring economic prosperity to the country. He also expressed a desire for political stability to facilitate the introduction of more citizen-centric programmes.
Dr Wee stated, “Even though we are facing global uncertainties, we can overcome any challenges together. The Year of the Dragon symbolises more luck and sustenance, which is a good indicator for our economic development.” He made these remarks to reporters after the MCA Lunar New Year open house at the party’s headquarters on Saturday (Feb 10).
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim extended his well wishes to the attendees of the event. “Thank you to Dr Wee (for inviting), Gong Xi Fa Cai and I pray the best for everyone,” he said after greeting the guests here.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hassan, Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, and Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek were also present at the occasion. MIC deputy president Datuk Seri M. Saravanan and former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob were also in attendance.
Last week, MCA secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon mentioned that the party had invited all political leaders to its Chinese New Year open house. He stated that the open house was in keeping with the party’s longstanding tradition to celebrate with the people and their leaders.
