MCA Youth information chief Neow Choo Seong claimed that Nga's remark that "Perak is not Johor, Perak is not Negri Sembilan" appeared to be directed at Johor DAP chairman Teo Nie Ching and former Negri Sembilan DAP chairman Anthony Loke.
He said the remark also raised questions about whether there were differences in approach or consensus within Pakatan Harapan in the three states.
"Perak is not Johor, Perak is not Negri Sembilan. In Perak, we celebrate diversity and unity with PH. This is where the Red Wave and people's tsunami will begin.
"That was said by Perak DAP chairman, which came across as arrogant. Was he taking a jab at Johor DAP chairman and former Negri Sembilan DAP chairman Loke over their defeats in Johor and Negri Sembilan?
"Is there no consensus within PH in the two states?" he said in a Facebook post today.
It was previously reported that Nga expressed confidence in the rise of the "Red Wave" in Perak as a manifestation of public support for PH's struggle.
He made the remarks while speaking at the DAP 60th anniversary dinner in Buntong, Perak, stressing the uniqueness of the state in celebrating diversity and unity as the foundation for constructive politics.
Meanwhile, Neow also questioned the political narrative DAP would put forward in Perak ahead of the next election.
"What will DAP's political narrative be in Perak, apart from 'Free Najib' and the 'Green Wave' narratives used in the Johor and Negri Sembilan elections?" he said.
Neow said every leader had the right to be optimistic and that Nga might believe Perak DAP was in a stronger position than the party in Johor and Negri Sembilan.
However, he said the results of the previous state elections showed that DAP faced challenges in retaining voter support.
Neow said Perak voters were also capable of assessing NGa's and DAP's track record since taking over the state administration in 2018.
He also raised the MyKiosk project, questioning the alleged construction cost of between RM15,000 and RM25,000 per unit, as well as the transparency of contractor appointments and kiosk occupancy rates.
On MCA's position, Neow acknowledged that the party still faced challenges in regaining the support of the Chinese community.
He said MCA recognised that Chinese voter support for the party had yet to return to previous levels, and this formed the basis for the party to reflect on itself and intensify efforts to reach out to the people.
"We know it will not be easy to regain the support of 95 per cent of Chinese voters for MCA.
"We are aware that we have yet to receive full support, especially from the Chinese community.
"That is why we are reflecting on ourselves and continuing to work hard to regain voters' support," he said. - NST
