MINFEATURESIZE is used only for labeling and makes sense when a polygons are 
clipped. It
allows you avoid labeling slivers.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for you promptly reply. I've definitely try "label_no_clip"
out. However, I don't think the MINFEATURESIZE if for me. The polygon
as a whole is big enough for labeling, the problem is just that it's
sliced into two parts. Having a min size limit on it may render the
label gone at the edge, which is not the desire result.
