Those attending the MCA’s 60th anniversary celebrations can expect an event that will provide them with an insight into the party’s history and milestones.
MCA information and communication bureau chief Lee Wei Kiat said the celebrations, themed 60 Years of Building Dreams: A Lifelong Commitment to Service, would bring its audience back to the day when the party was formed to help the Chinese.
“We will go down memory lane and we will even show the ‘downs’ we went through, including the May 13 incident and the March 8 general election.
“At the same time, we will also encourage members to look forward to the future,” Lee said in an interview.
He said there would be a video showing the party working closely with other races for the betterment of the country.
He added that the event, which would be held on March 1, would also feature programmes that involved different races. “One of them will be the welcoming dance by performers of various races,” he said. Lee said MCA would also invite members from Barisan Nasional component parties to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
“Previously, we only had members, party veterans and the Chinese community.
“But this time, we want others from the Barisan coalition to share our happiness, too.”
Another highlight of the celebrations, he said, was a short film that would tell the stories of veteran members who joined the party when it was founded in 1949.
“By looking back at what they have done for the MCA, it will help encourage our members to continue the party’s struggle,” he said
