BN makes decisions through consensus and there is no bullying among the coalition’s component parties, said BN secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.
According to Bernama, he said this when commenting on the debate between MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
Tengku Adnan said that Chua had carried himself well and made convincing arguments on the role of MCA and BN on the development of the Chinese community without criticising or blaming the opposition.
"Feedback shows that the Chinese community suddenly woke up and realised that the MCA has done quite a lot for them and we have always been working together.
"Please remember that whatever decision we make is based on consensus; there is no bulling by any party, big or small," he told reporters after presenting the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) to about 1,600 people from the Putrajaya parliamentary constituency here today.
Yesterday, Dr Chua and Guan Eng conducted a debate in Mandarin on the topic "Chinese at the Crossroads: Is the Two-Party System Becoming a Two-Race System?" at Berjaya Times Square.
Seat-swapping
Organised by the Asian Strategy and Leadership Institute (Asli) and the MCA think-tank, Insap, the debate was moderated by Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall chief executive officer Tang Ah Chai.
It was broadcast in Mandarin on Astro AEC, with a simultaneous translation in Bahasa Malaysia on Astro Awani, and aired over the Star's 988FM.
Tengku Adnan, who is also Umno secretary-general, said the support from the Chinese community is on the rise just like that of the Malays and Indians as the communities realise that only the BN can look after their welfare and prosperity.
Meanwhile, he said, seat-swapping among BN component parties for the next general election was discussed at the BN supreme council meeting, but no final decision was made.
He said the matter would be decided after Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin visit Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak.
Asked whether Umno has finalised its candidates and submitted the list to the prime minister, Tengku Adnan said, "It is confidential ... be patient. I am not saying yes or no. Be patient."
