Najib urge Chinese not to believe DAP's 'Malay tsunami ruse'

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today cautioned the Chinese community against falling for the DAP ruse of a so-called "Malay tsunami" swing of Malay votes to the opposition in the 14th general election.

"I can assure you there will be no Malay tsunami against the government. That strategy, if it works, will only be detrimental to the Chinese community. This is because we need a strong Chinese representation in the government for the Chinese community.

"The DAP strategy (to win the election) is based on (sowing) hatred with an underlying hypothesis that there will be a Malay tsunami during the election," he said at the launch of the Kuen Cheng High School campus redevelopment in Jalan Syed Putra here.

Elaborating, Najib said the Chinese community currently constituted 23 percent of the population but had only had six percent of the MPs in the government, which was not sustainable in the long run and would work against the community. 

"MCA and Gerakan have been working tirelessly to support the Chinese community, together with all the others. I can assure you, I always get requests from (MCA president) Liow Tiong Lai and (Gerakan president) Mah Siew Keong on how we can do more for the community," he said.
