00:00 MCA will fare worse should it decide to leave Barisan Nasional and go solo, say analysts.

00:08 Akademi Nusantaras Azmi Hassan said, with only two parliamentary seats, namely Ayuhitam

00:14 and Tanjung Pihai, and several state seats, the ethnic Chinese party does not have the

00:19 strength nor capacity to go it alone in future elections.

00:23 He said that MCA's uneasiness with BN was mainly due to the cooperation between UMNO

00:29 and DAP in Anwar Ibrahim's unity government.

00:33 He added that MCA's staying with BN might relegate them to a subordinate role, while

00:38 going solo could be more risky as they will continue to struggle to gain the support of

00:42 non-Malays.

00:43 Meanwhile, Oe Sun of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs said MCA must secure

00:50 more seats before proclaiming its readiness to go solo as the party's chances for political

00:55 survival would be virtually non-existent.

00:59 Last month, MCA President Wee Kwa Siong said his party was prepared to chart its own path

01:04 if any party in BN decides to officially form new ties and abandon its current allies in

01:10 the coalition.
