MCA may become the ninth party to leave the former ruling coalition BN, should the party grassroots deem this necessary.

At a press conference today, former MCA vice-president Gan Ping Sieu said quitting BN was among the options being considered by the party’s reform committee which was set up after May 9 general election.

"This is one of the options MCA should consider," said the Kluang MCA division chief.
