MCA banner draws public anger on social media
25 Apr
The latest picture circulating online which has drawn the ire of the public is by the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) for Taiping. In the association’s latest banner congratulating His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V, who was installed yesterday as the country’s 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was wrongly worded indicating the cancellation of His Majesty’s appointment.
In the banner’s message, ‘pertabalan’ (installation) was misspelt as ‘perbatalan’ (cancellation), highlighting the mistake netizens shared and expressed their anger over the wrongly worded message on social media.
Taiping MCA division Chief Ang Sui Eng later apologised for the mistake and was quoted in The Star saying, “We failed to make a revision of our banner which was hung in front of our office. The banner has been removed immediately this morning when we were informed of the error. A correction has been made and a new banner has been put up.”
She added they would be more careful in the future and such a mistake would not be repeated.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.
We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.
Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.
Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.
Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.
Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
