The Malaysian Chinese Association is also known as Party MCA, or simply MCA. MCA is a single racial political party representing the Chinese in Malaysia, also known as MCA in some media. As all members of the party are made up of Malaysian Chinese and citizens of Chinese descent, it is named Malaysian Chinese Association.
According to MCA's latest party affairs report, as of August 31, 2012, MCA had a total of 1,115,167 party members across the country, including nearly 280,000 MCA youth members.
According to the official history of Malaysia, before the independence of Malaysia, the MCA, UMNO and
Malaysian Indian Congress Party

The ruling party
. As a former coalition party until the present Barisan Nasional party, MCA continues to perpetuate the racial political discourse that originated in the British colonial era as its legitimate governing basis.
During the British colonization of the Malay Peninsula (now part of West Malaysia), the British colonial government adopted a divide-and-rule approach to rule the Malay Peninsula. At that time, the three main ethnic groups in the Malay Peninsula -
Malay
The affairs of the Chinese, the Chinese, and the Indians were represented by representatives of individual ethnic groups to achieve the purpose of dividing the civil society of the three ethnic groups without intersecting.

The constitution of the Federation of Malaya, promulgated in early 1946, was frowned upon by the majority of the Malay population, with Malay leaders calling for the formation of political parties. It was against this historical background that UMNO was founded under the leadership of Datuk Ong to oppose the Federated Malays and defend the interests of the Malays. The British authorities decided to give in and abolish the Federation of Malaya, and instead a committee without Chinese representatives drafted a new federation of Malaya that was unfavorable to the Chinese
constitutional
.
In 1948, the Malayan Indian Congress was formed to represent all Indians, but the various ethnic and religious organizations that existed in Indian society continued to divide the Indian community.
In terms of the Chinese society, the Chinese political forces were still fragmented, no party could represent the whole Chinese society, and the Chinese were unable to organize effectively against the new constitution of the Union of Malaya.

And other Chinese leaders urged the Chinese to unite and defend their national rights, but the vast majority of Chinese remained indifferent and apolitical.
Thus, in 1948, the political fortunes of the Chinese could be said to be at their lowest ebb. A new Federal Constitution was passed, which severely restricted citizenship to immigrants whose parents had been born or had lived in Malaya for 15 years and who were able to speak English, English and English.

The new constitution also restored the Malays
Sudan
The existing powers, as well as the privileges of Malays, especially civil servants in government departments, must be a Malay majority.
To make matters worse, in June 1948, the Communist Party of Malaya took up arms and went into the forest to launch an armed revolutionary struggle. Because in this case, the Chinese political power was dispersed.
Chen Zhen Luk has long put forward the proposal of organising the MCA. Long before the Japanese surrender in 1945, he founded the Overseas Chinese Association and, as its president, wrote to the then Colonial Secretary that upon his return from India, where he had lived under Japanese rule, he would form a Chinese association to "fight for the interests of the Chinese in Malaya".
After the war, Chen returned to Malaya and, through the Malayan Chinese Business Association, convened an All-Malaysian congress to discuss the future of Malayan Chinese.
The purposes and objectives stated in the MCA Constitution are a concrete reflection of MCA's political ideas and political propositions. It is summarized as follows:
(1) Safeguard democracy and freedom;
2. Strive for equal status of all ethnic groups;
3. Promote social justice;
4. Promote racial harmony and national unity;
5. Promote national economic development and social prosperity;
6. Safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese.
The main aims and objectives of the MCA Constitution are:
(1) To ensure and defend the independence and sovereignty of Malaysia;
2) To secure and uphold the Constitution of Malaysia;
3) To ensure and maintain a parliamentary system and democratic government based on diverse races;
4) To fight for and maintain the exercise of human rights, to redress inequities, and to assist the needy;
(5) To ensure the recognition, recognition and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of ethnic Chinese Malaysians, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of all other ethnic groups within the Constitution of Malaysia;
6) To maintain, cultivate and promote goodwill and harmony among citizens of all races in Malaysia to ensure that a strong and united nation progresses and grows in peace;
7) To promote, defend and strive for the political, social, educational, cultural, economic and other interests of Chinese Malaysians by lawful and constitutional means;
8) To consider, assist, and deal with all matters concerning all Party members and to take such steps as may be necessary for their welfare and progress;
9) To promote the full development and utilisation of Malaysia's economic resources for the benefit of all its citizens;
10) Promote full and equal employment opportunities for all Malaysian citizens;
11) To strengthen and improve the productivity of the country in order to raise the standard of living of all Malaysian citizens;
12) To strengthen and maintain social justice, economic security and equal opportunities for every citizen in Malaysia;
13. Encourage, establish and develop cooperative movements;
14) to cooperate with other political bodies registered in Malaysia with the same aims and objectives as MCA for the sound development of party politics;
15) To promote, preserve and maintain the use and learning of the Chinese language and the Chinese language, and to ensure that its use, teaching and learning are not prohibited or impeded under the express provisions of Article 152 of the Constitution of Malaysia;
16. To do anything other than the above for the general welfare of MCA and its members.
After the British government implemented the emergency decree, the Chinese were subjected to unprecedented suffering, on the one hand, they had to face the threat of the Communist Party of Ma, on the other hand, many regulations of the emergency decree were bound and punished, so that hundreds of thousands of rural Chinese could not survive, and could not die.
At that time, the military and police personnel of the British colonial authorities dealt with the Chinese in the rural areas with very vicious means, which caused the general public to dislike the military and police. Publicity Officer, MCA
Chen Xiuxin
On January 29, 1949, he published an article, "The Victory of the Mob," which described the deplorable situation of the Chinese, saying: "From my point of view, the behavior of the upper and lower classes of our society who began to grudge the British is equal to that of the Japanese, and some even say that it is more vicious than the Japanese." "The above views may be too general and excessive, but the widespread burning of villages (such as the shooting of Chinese rubber workers in the Ka Chiu Rubber Garden), the possibility of arrest on suspicion of anyone, the feudal system of collective punishment, the death penalty for carrying arms, the looting of military personnel during searches, and the threat of deportation of all Chinese people (except those who grew up in the village)
Penang
and
Malacca
It is generally believed that the methods of the British are more vicious than those of the Japanese. Whether it is true that it is the most important weapon in the hands of the riot leaders is another question, but it is dangerous enough as long as it has a universal following."
"Not only has the government not tried to eradicate this belief, but it has gradually strengthened it, and I have seen leaflets in the hands of the public warning villagers that they will be deported if they do not cooperate with the government. The Government has never sought the cooperation of the people through constructive legislation, but has resorted only to threats and intimidation, and often, when this has failed, to violent action against the people." From the above, it can be seen that the Chinese in this state have suffered unprecedented suffering, they not only face the threat of the Communist Party of Malaysia, but also suffer from the vicious actions of the British Army.
The Chinese Malayans suffered heavy casualties as a result of the state of emergency. According to figures, from the beginning of the state of emergency in June 1948 to June 1951, there were about 1,750 families, of which 1,000 were killed and 500 injured; Another 250 are missing.

After the meeting, the opinions of the representatives were gathered and a delegation led by Chen Zhen was sent to meet with McDonnell. McDonnell told Chen that the British government would not forget the contribution and merit of the Chinese in Malaya and respected the views of the Chinese. However, the Chamber of Commerce represented only a subset of the merchants, not the entire Chinese community in Malaya.
When the delegation returned, they discussed what to do, and as a result, Chen accepted Jen-Luk's proposal and launched an organization to form the Malayan Chinese Association in 1948, when the Communist Party took up arms and went into the forest, and when the British government declared an emergency decree. The Malayan Chinese Association was established on 27 February 1949, eight months after the implementation of the Emergency Act.

And Indians limited to the work of rubber cutting, so that the three ethnic groups because of the contradictions generated by the professional class, and unable to unite to the British government to make civil demands.
After independence, the MCA continued to cooperate with UMNO to implement the "individual ethnic groups, divide and rule" method of racial political rule, resulting in the ethnic gap in Malaysia is still obvious, but the MCA, UMNO and the Indian Congress as the inevitable representative of the political forces of the individual ethnic groups, but continue to continue.

The Malaysian Chinese Association held an extraordinary General meeting on 23 February 2014 in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Malaysian Chinese Association. MCA President Liow Tiong Lai delivered a keynote speech on "Reform and Transformation, New Path". 1,982 delegates attended the Congress.
Liow Tiong Lai said that there was only one motion at the extraordinary General Assembly, that is, the General Assembly approved the re-acceptance of the party as a member of the government at all levels. The conference passed the bill by an absolute majority.
Liow Tiong Lai said that the MCA party election is a watershed moment, and after the new leadership is elected, the party will actively carry out reform and transformation. One of the key points of the reform and transformation is to strengthen the political positioning of the Malaysian Chinese Association, including redefining its participation rights and status in the government.
