This is the headquarters of Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), Malay: Persatuan Cina Malaysia. It is a uni-racial political party in Malaysia that represents the Malaysian Chinese ethnicity; it is one of the three major component parties of the ruling coalition in Malaysia called the Barisan Nasional (BN) in Malay, or National Front in English. Along with the largest and third largest component party in BN, i.e. United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), MCA has a strong influence over the political arena in Malaysia.

MCA controls five significant media press companies, i.e., The Star thestar.com.my being Malaysia's best-selling English language newspaper; Sin Chew Jit Poh www.sinchew.com.my Nanyang Siang Pau www.nanyang.com.my and China Press www.chinapress.com.my being three of the best-selling Chinese newspapers in Kuala Lumpur and Central Region of West Malaysia; and Guang Ming Daily www.guangming.com.my being a smaller press in northern West Malaysia. Over the years, the domination of media press caused major resentments in the sub-divided party, with a so-called "Team B" of the MCA and the press reporters for breaching freedom of the press in the country.

Since independence, Democratic Action Party (DAP) dapmalaysia.org which is also a uni-racial party (of Chinese ethnicity) in Malaysia poses as the biggest rival to MCA.
