Facebook way to woo young members for MCA

MCA Youth will go into Facebook, hit the road by organising exhibitions and even set up clubs in an effort to attract young adults to join the movement.
“I know it is an uphill task to recruit a large number of members. We will start the enlisting exercise next month,” said Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
He has set a target of recruiting more than 21,000 youths under 35 each year. Both men and women are invited to join.
Dr Wee has his reason to be urgent. Half of the movement’s 280,000 members are above 35. Five years down the road, the wing will make a major change — limiting Youth’s age limit from 45 to 40.
“First, we will have to amend the constitution. Second, prepare the members to be ready for the change,” he said.
Dr Wee said members would be given the freedom to be vocal on issues.
“Speak up if you are unhappy. We need our members to give us feedback. For young professionals, they will have room to play their role in the party,” he said.
The wing plans to establish core groups according to profession.
Citing an example, Dr Wee said that former Kota Melaka MP Wong Nai Chee, a practising lawyer, led a team of lawyers to vet through 22 sets of highway concessionnaire agreements at the Works Ministry recently.
Similar core groups can be set up to tackle other issues, including the environment, energy conservation, finance and others. The young members would also not be left wandering aimlessly in the party.
“There will be someone to guide them. A new recruit will also undergo political education to understand the party’s history and its objectives. This is another new education for the wing — never forget our roots,” said Dr Wee.
With party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat set to unveil the grand transformation plan tomorrow in conjunction with the party’s 60th anniversary celebration, Dr Wee said the parent body could rest assured of one thing — that the Youth wing would be a pillar of strength to count on.
