MCA President Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong says, unlike DAP his party walks the talk.

TVET programmes should be introduced sooner in Form 1 rather than Form 4 to give them the opportunity to decide which field they are interested in.

Wee said there were complaints received recently about the lack of supply of subsidised cooking oil and his ministry would extend the issue to the KPDNHEP for further action.

BNM is expected to lift its Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) by 25 basis points (bps) to 2.25 per cent.
