The MCA president was commenting on a recent report in The Malaysian Insider about the party’s lacklustre leadership in Selangor, in which one party leader predicted a total wipe-out for MCA in the frontline state.
Local MCA leaders had told The Malaysian Insider that while Umno may be brimming with confidence that it can recapture Selangor in the next elections, there are fears that a lethargic MCA could lose the game for the coalition.
They also pointed the finger at Selangor MCA chief Datuk Donald Lim for the party’s sluggish state in Selangor.
“Some of them may be lazy, but saying MCA has not done any work is not true,” Dr Chua told reporters today when asked about the report.
“MCA in Selangor works like normal. Maybe it is not enough and must increase.
“Some of them work very hard; some only talk a lot. I know who they are. As a president who always goes to the field, I know who works and who does not,” he added.
When asked if any disciplinary action would be taken against these leaders, Dr Chua said it was up to the people to decide.
“In politics, disciplinary action is election results,” he said.
Dr Chua also sought to downplay Selangor Umno information chief Abdul Shukor Idrus’s claims that the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) would trounce Pakatan Rakyat (PR) in Selangor in the upcoming polls with a whopping 20-seat majority, as bluster.
“Politicians will always say they will win, if you look at elections. BN will say they will win, opposition will say they will win. In the end, only one will win.
“However, I am confident the Selangor government will change as PR says there must be change in government. Selangor will change to BN,” Dr. Chua said.
“How many seats, I do not know. More importantly, we must work harder, help the people and connect with the people.
“This is more important than having confidence,” he added.
