DAP harbours ambitions of usurping rival MCA from the ranks of Barisan Nasional (BN) by building on its gains in Penang, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said today in a new round of offensive ahead of a looming general election.
“The DAP ultimately wants to be in the government like in Penang and now they hope to be the government at federal level,” the MCA president was quoted in a report by The Star today.
“DAP politicians are like any other politicians, for them it is the thirst for power.”
Dr Chua also claimed that the opposition party would eventually run out of assets with which to develop the northern state if it does not gain access to the resources that came with being part of the federal government.
“Penang has limited resources and how long can (Penang Chief Minister) Lim Guan Eng tender his land?” Dr Chua was quoted further by the MCA-owned newspaper.
The former minister also advised the Chinese against thinking the community would have the power to determine the winners of the next general election.
“I would like to remind the Chinese community, if you support the DAP thinking that the Chinese are the ‘King maker’ then you are wrong,” he said.
Chinese-based MCA and multiracial DAP have continued to exchange blows in the contest for urban Chinese votes, which is the mainstay of support for both parties.
The skirmishes have hitherto surrounded issues such as Chinese vernacular education and hudud, or Islamic penal law, which MCA accuses DAP of supporting vicariously through its partnership with PAS in the larger Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pact. PKR is the third party in the informal alliance.
But recent remarks by a Johor Umno lawmaker seeking for hudud to be applied even on non-Muslims have put the BN component on the back foot.
Today, Dr Chua sought to defend Umno against DAP’s attacks on the subject.
“Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has already said it very clearly that Umno will not implement hudud,” Dr Chua said.
“None of the Barisan states even think of amending its state constitutions to implement hudud,” he said.

Your interpretation of things doesn't make any sense because the MCA and the DAP are of two different breeds - one is a lapdog, while the other is a pit bull!
Soi Lek, why don't you bring MCA into DAP ? Afterall mca is not much of a political party. Your party need good leadership and not robbers. MCA has all these years pretended to represent the chinese but in fact only did so for your own club members and NOT THE CHINESE. I'm sure that mca can live with dap, have no fear as long as you don't cheat the public.
A loser in the last General Election sounding like a sour grape. UMNO will be courting DAP if they get less than 70 seats. They brought Gerakan into BN after the May 13, 1969. MCA is afraid and CSL knows exactly what UMNO is capable of. But he forgot putting UMNO and DAP together as coalition is akin to mixing oil and water. One is as corrupt and dirty like the black oil discharged from our car engine after it has finished its use while the other is clean, clear and transparent like the fresh spring water from the Alps.
At least, in DAP we trust! But, DAP will not betray Pakatan Rakyat! Lim Kit Siang had slogged for 45 years and he is not going to sacrifice and betray the trusts of the Rakyat. If DAP wants to join UMNO, they would had done so much earlier, when they were courted!
No, this is just another suspicion of the jealous MCA because of the overwhelming support of the Rakyat for DAP!
Chua Soi Lek, PRU 13 is near, please tell us more about policies, not nitty gritties like DAP wanting to take the place of MCA in BN. Such tactics do not work anymore. Rakyat are too smart. We want to hear, what you have to offer to the Rakyat, to Malaysians. We want to hear your stand on the illegal immigrants, who are now legalized? We want to know what happened when their children starts fighting for places in schools and universities?
Tell us why you are so quiet on HUDUD for ALL as proposed by a Johor UMNO rep and reportedly agreeable by Puteri UMNO? Why are you running away from this serious issue and instead asking why DAP is working with PAS?
PAS = HUDUD for Muslims. UMNO/sycophants = HUDUD for ALL? Scary, scary, real scary indeed and MCA/MIC/GELAKAN are all so quiet. TAKUT!
save Malaysia!
