MCA has invited Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his predecessor Najib Abdul Razak for its Chinese New Year open house.

This would be the BN component party's first Chinese New Year as part of the opposition coalition since its inception in 1949.

According to Oriental Daily News, MCA secretary-general Chew Mei Fun said invitations have been sent to both BN and Pakatan Harapan leaders.

Apart from Mahathir, Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and current cabinet members, including MCA's fiercest opponents from DAP, have also been invited.
