8 October 2013 Press Statement by MCA Central Committee member and Deputy Chairman of MCA Publicity Bureau Sdr Loh Seng Kok Punishing voters contrary to BN spirit It is regrettable that Kedah Menteri Besar Dato’ Mukriz Mahathir had remarked that the priority of the state government is to assist the community which supported the BN government. Not only is uttering such a remark obsolete as it will be construed as treatment according to racial, the remark runs contrary to the BN spirit. BN needs retrospection and to review circumstances that led to BN’s dismal outing at the 13th general elections (GE) rather than fault point against a particular community. Although Mukriz might claim that the state government’s reaction on Chinese schools is not retaliation but to prioritise “gratitude” to the community which voted BN, Mukriz as the Menteri Besar should safeguard the interest of all Kedahans regardless of race, steering everyone towards progress and success. In a democracy, the services of any Menteri Besar should be people-oriented. Do not dwell on GE results. Repair and reduce any racial rifts. These are positive aspects of a magnanimous national leader which will regain the rakyat’s support. Consequent to the GE results, the rakyat’s vote and support does not remain static. A national leader should treat all school streams and people justly irrespective of background, and implement BN’s principals in order to win therakyat’s support and appreciation. Loh Seng Kok Member of MCA Central Committee Member of MCA Presidential Council Deputy Chairman of MCA Publicity Bureau / END
