There are three major races in Malaysia. They are the Malays, Chinese and Indians.

The Malays have the political power and so they set up a party 'UMNO' which literally means "U Must Not Object".

While the Chinese controlled the economy and they called their party 'MCA' which means "Money Controlls All".

Lastly, the Indians who have no say either in politics or economics set up their party called 'MIC'. Hence, in every parliamentary meeting, the Indians would ask : "Must I Come ?"
