PAS Kuala Selangor member of pParliament Dzulkefly Ahmad has dismissed the claim by Chinese-only party MCA of an economic downfall should Pakatan Rakyat win the next election.
Dzulkefly said the doomsday prediction by MCA president Chua Soi Lek was nothing more than another attempt to help BN return to power.
““The fact you voice those thing means you don’t understand democracy; it shows you’re an autocratic, despotic government, because you can’t accept a regime change,” Dzulkefly told news portal Free Malaysia Today.
Chua had said that the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) would plunge by 500 points if PR took control of Putrajaya.
“Chua’s claim that a 500 point drop is equal to [a loss of] RM350 billion market capitalisation is insane,” said Dzulkefly, who added that the market would welcome PR with its better financial policies and greater transparency.
Dzulkefly stressed that change was part of a democratic routine and could not be equated to destruction.
“If this time people decide you have go, you go lah! Don’t involve Bursa [Malaysia] and all such nonsense. Stop the rumour-mongering and politics of fear. People will judge us based on our performance,” he added.
