Although the MCA has tried to play a big brother's role to the Chinese in Sarawak, the community is not so concerned about how the party is doing. In fact, they rate the MCA as being as "hopeless as the SUPP" and that its leaders were merely fighting for their own selfish interests. Many tended to lump the two Chinese dominated parties together in one breath.
However, what caught their attention recently was the speculation in the Chinese media and cyberspace that several MCA bigwigs had agreed it was 'smart' strategy to dump a flailing Prime Minister Najib Razak and throw their support behind Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
MCA president, Chua Soi Lek's recent accusations that DAP wanted to turn Malaysia into a 'Little China' also raised eyebrows amongst the Chinese in Sarawak, one of the largest Sino-communities in the country.
