1Malaysia: Umno division chief called on MCA to get out of Barisan !

Ibrahim Ali, the Perkasa head, had asked the BN government to stop giving out support to the Chinese because of the poor support from the Chinese during Hulu Selangor by-election.

Now, an Umno division has called on MCA to leave Barisan Nasional following its failure to deliver the Chinese votes in the recently-concluded by-election.

Paya Besar Umno division chief Ahmad Tajuddin Sulaiman told MCA to stop making “silly excuses.”

He said MCA should leave the ruling coalition for not mustering Chinese support for the BN candidate.

As a result, he claimed that BN managed to retake the seat by a slim majority.

Ahmad Tajuddin said MCA’s best option was to withdraw from the coalition, and not continue to be a burden on BN.

“Leave BN to prevent yourselves from becoming a burden to the other component parties. Don’t point fingers at others for your own failure.

“They (MCA leaders) should admit their mistakes and not blame others,” he said, in referrence to their recent comments blaming Perkasa for the loss of Chinese support.

Ahmad Tajuddin said MCA must admit that the party no longer holds the trust of the Chinese community.

“It not only happened in Hulu Selangor but also in the 2008 general election,” he said.
