00:00There is a bit of tension between MCA Johor and UMNO in the issue of MCA Johor.
00:08Maybe Dato' Sri can comment on that.
00:10Okay, as everyone is aware, the incident happened two days ago.
00:20When I was informed that there was a posting shared on the website of MCA Johor,
00:30I asked who wrote it.
00:37Actually, it was not the MCA who wrote it.
00:39It was an eminent person who posted a post on WhatsApp to be shared.
00:49So, I told him that we should not share it if it is not our writing.
00:55If we want to share it, it should be the writing of the President of MCA.
00:59As the President, if I have any information, I will convey it directly to the media and other agnus.
01:06So, it was not us who wrote it.
01:09But it was from an eminent person who wrote it.
01:14And this person shared it.
01:16So, I told him that we should not repeat this incident.
01:25So, we need to intensify it.
01:28Because he is an eminent person.
01:30Even though he is very eager to share it, we need to be careful.
01:36We know that this incident was not done by MCA Johor.
01:41MCA Johor has apologized.
01:44Because we found that what was shared did not represent our opinion.
01:49It was not what we wrote.
01:51I think it is not important for me who wrote the message.
01:58And if everyone understands my way,
02:013 days before and 3 days after Raya, I will not criticize anyone.
02:07That is my way.
02:10So, it is better to say that we will not criticize anyone.
02:13Let them celebrate Raya.
02:15Let them celebrate Chinese New Year.
02:17We will not do that.
02:19But in this incident, when I saw and heard it,
02:23there was a young man who told me,
02:25who wrote it? They are eminent people.
02:28Eh, how can they post this?
02:32I saw that he shared it from a different place.
02:35But he shared it as his post.
02:44Oh, it was not allowed.
02:46So, it was not yesterday.
02:48It was not after there was an incident.
02:50It was a coincidence.
02:52But it was posted yesterday.
02:54When MCA Johor found out,
02:57we immediately took action.
03:01Once again, we sincerely apologize for this incident.
03:08So, now we have ordered
03:10only the head of MCA Johor as an eminent person.
03:14He is not eminent.
03:16So, no one else can share this.
03:19We have to take this into consideration.
03:23Actually, MCA is a party that we are pragmatic.
03:27We don't know how to maintain harmony.
03:31That's why during the celebration,
03:34we made a statement like that,
03:37so that everyone is equal.
03:39We should apply this spirit.
03:43So, we don't want other people's view
03:46to be our enemy.
03:48No.
