Media Statement by Teresa Kok, DAP National Vice Chairperson and MP for Seputeh in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, June 03, 2015
Why Does Tengku Adnan Seek Assistance From Chinese Government to Gain Back Chinese Support to BN?
It was reported in today’s Sin Chew Daily that the Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Mansor said that he hoped the Chinese government can help to tell the Malaysian Chinese the contribution of the Malaysian government to the nation over the last 57 years.
He also said at yesterday’s official opening of the China Malaysia Friendship Garden in Putrajaya that the Malaysian government emphasized stability and has brought much development to the nation, but the people often forget what the government has done.
China’s Ambassador to Malaysia Dr Huang Hui Kang was present at the function.
After reading his comments, the first thought that comes to my mind is why has the BN government become so pathetic that it has to ask a foreign government to help in regaining political support of its own citizens?
Has the BN government lost total confidence in the ability of MCA, Gerakan and SUPP to regain the Chinese support?
Tengku Adnan’s comments are not acceptable and will make BN a political joke.
Firstly, Malaysian Chinese are citizens of Malaysia and they do not need Chinese government to give them any advice or instruction. They have the right to support which ever political party they wish.
Secondly, the Chinese government will just ignore what Tengku Adnan has said as it knows it has no right and business to tell Malaysian Chinese voters what to do.
If BN is serious in wanting to regain the support of the Chinese community, the first thing it should do is not to make silly statements like “people often forget what the government has done”.
Such tactic of implying or blaming voters as ungrateful people will only cause anger and further erosion of support.
It is undeniable that when BN suffered badly in the 2008 and 2013 general elections, the loss of Chinese support was a very significant factor.
BN must know what the Chinese want or it will never be able to regain their support.

东姑安南叫中国政府为国阵拉票的言论，
将使我国政府成为国内外笑柄
（吉隆坡3日讯）行动党全国副主席郭素沁对联邦直辖区部长东姑安南发表“希望中国政府能够协助告诉我国华裔，马来西亚政府过去57年来为国家的付出”的言论，感到非常惊讶及遗憾。
她说这种叫外国政府为国阵拉票的言论，将使我国政府成为国内外的笑柄。
也是士布爹区国会议员的郭素沁指出，身为内阁部长的东姑安南对中国驻马来西亚大使等发表的言论，根本有损他内阁部长的身份。
她说，马来西亚的华人是公民，在这个民主国家里，他们有权利及智慧对国内的政局作出衡量及判断，并在大选中投选所属意的政党。我国的华裔公民根本不需要外国政府的意见。
她说，“绝大部份的马来西亚华裔是我国土生土长的公民，中国政府凭什么来劝告我国华人支持国阵？东姑安南是否在潜意识里还把马来西亚华人当作是中国寄居在马来西亚的华侨？”
郭素沁也说，东姑安南的言论很明显的是要中国政府为国阵争取政治支持，这是非常愚昧的做法。
她说，“首先，中国政府不可能干预马来西亚的政治，它绝对不会成为国阵政府的说客；第二，东姑安南的言论显示国阵已沦落到要外国政府为它争取政治支持的可怜地步。”
她说，东姑安南的言论显示他对马华、民政和人联党在挽回华人支持方面失去信心。
郭素沁强调，马来西亚华人只期望政府给予华社公平的对待，因此如果国阵政府要挽回华裔选民的支持，就应认真的推行“公平施政”。

1) This is to show that he think that he got a very strong contact with China Govt. and hope that the MALAYSIAN CHINESE will follow blindly what the China counterpart said. A move that put a side all their Chinese follower partys and just to show that they are teethless and worthless.
2) Indirectly saying that we are same like others PATI but different is that we have I/C, that why refer to China Govt. for help.
3) “HIDUP MALAYSIA & MALAYSIA BOLEH”
