While acknowledging that the community's drive, industriousness and entrepreneurial skills have contributed to the country's development all these years, Najib said BN’s policies had contributed to peace and harmony that enabled them to flourish.  

"But we have to admit that BN's policies ensure peace and harmony here, ensure a fair share of opportunities in the country that led to most Chinese being relatively successful here," he said in his speech at MCA's “Stronger Together” campaign aimed at reviving the fortunes and uniting the senior BN party after its dismal performance in the 13th general election last year.
