TANGKAK: Aug 29, 2008
Barisan Nasional should learn from the defeat in the Permatang Pauh by-election and adopt new strategies and ideas for future contests, said MCA secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan.
“We in the Barisan should be united and move as one team to ensure the component continues to be strong to face the next general election,” he said at SK Chi Ming 1 here on Wednesday.
“We in the MCA also hope the failure in capturing Permatang Pauh will not weaken our struggle to regain the people's confidence.”
Ong said PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim would not be able to form the next government on Sept 16 and that it was just a gimmick to woo voters.
He also urged Barisan leaders not to utter racial remarks during campaigns as it would hurt the people.
Ong, who is Housing and Local Government Minister, said the Government would replace housing developers who failed to complete projects.
He said there were about 43,000 houses that were not completed and the Government would appoint new developers for them.
He said that over the past 27 years more than 2.7 million homes had been built and occupied and the ministry would ensure that abandoned projects would be completed.
