MCA to assist BN component parties retain Sarawak in upcoming state election

Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan said MCA would be sending its machinery, especially those with the expertise in using the social media to counter the slander and baseless accusations by the opposition.

"Today's society has changed, leaning more towards the cyber arena. We need to tackle the problem more through the social media. We will send our experts in the cyber war.

"Or we will help train people there as there is not much time left. I think priority should be given to the social media aspect as nowadays, most people don't go to the ceramah or read the newspapers. Information is disseminated through the social media."

He said this to reporters after opening the Father Sumangalo Memorial Hall of the Penang Buddhist Association, here, today.

Ong was, however, confident that the personality and demeanor of Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem could help maintain BN's position in that state, hence bringing more changes and development to the people.

Ong, who is also Penang MCA liaison chief, said: "Adenan is a leader who is open, honest and sincere in turning Sarawak into a more developed and harmonious state.
