Don't cause anxiety, Liow tells Anwar - NST

KUALA LUMPUR: Aug 9, 2008

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should concentrate on proving the vitality of the Pakatan Rakyat governments in the five states instead of creating anxiety among Malaysians, said MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai.
He said Anwar should respect the decision made by the rakyat at the 12th general election of giving five states -- Selangor, Perak, Kedah, Kelantan and Penang -- to the opposition parties and the federal government to Barisan Nasional.

"Prove yourself and let people decide when they go to the polls in five years whether they want the BN or Pakatan Rakyat," said Liow.

He pointed out that the Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader's main intention was to be prime minister.

"It is his personal wish and not for the benefit of the rakyat that he is contesting the by-election in Permatang Pauh," he said, adding that Anwar should respect the Constitution and the country's democratic process.
Liow, who will head the MCA by-election machinery in Permatang Pauh with more than 3,000 MCA members and leaders going to the ground to campaign, said:

"I will let the people of Permatang Pauh know about Anwar's intentions in contesting the seat. The people should not be swayed by his play-acting or sandiwara.

"Don't use tricks and tactics to cause instability and anxiety. It is not good for the economy and political stability.
