Like the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), the Malaysian
Chinese Association (MCA) was known for having its bastion in
Johor, with the state containing the highest number of
parliamentary seats contested and won by the party. Two features of
the MCA stand out: (1) its relative resilience in that its near
elimination in other states since 2008 did not occur in Johor until
the recent 14th General Elections, and (2) that most MCA presidents
had some connections to Johor, either as having been born in Johor,
contested in a Johor constituency, been chairman of the Johor state
liaison committee, or a combination of three. Although historical
institutional linkages such as the New Villages and the Chinese
guilds and associations (CGAs) gave the MCA a strong footing in
Johor initially, changing political and socioeconomic circumstances
gradually eroded the party's support among the Johorean Chinese. As
it began to lose appeal as an individual party, the MCA Johor had
to depend on a strategy of mixed voter pooling so that the
significant loss of support from the Chinese could be compensated
for by the Malay electorate that was until recently highly
supportive of the Barisan Nasional (BN). The strategic dependence
of the MCA on the UMNO was rendered void when the latter was
defeated in the state. As it stands, the revival of the party's
standing both within Johor and nationally is far from certain.
