Melaka BN chief Ab Rauf Yusoh meeting representatives of local Chinese interest groups at an MCA-organised dinner tonight.MELAKA: Barisan Nasional aims to wrest at least one Chinese-majority seat from DAP in the Melaka state election, with the coalition hoping that MCA wins no less than three of the four seats it is contesting.

State BN chief Ab Rauf Yusoh said the coalition naturally hoped that MCA would win all four seats, but had set a more realistic target of three seats.

"I am confident that MCA has obtained the trust of the Chinese community in Melaka," he said after a dinner with Chinese interest groups in Melaka organised by MCA.

MCA is seeking to defend the Kelebang and Machap Jaya seats this Saturday, while challenging DAP for its Chinese strongholds of Bandar Hilir and Kota Laksamana.
