MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek said the blue T-shirts bearing anti-Pakatan Rakyat slogans for delegates at the party’s annual general meeting (AGM) symbolised MCA’s preparedness for “war” and the general election.

NONE “All political parties must transform and change to suit (election) time. This is war time and everybody has their role to play,” Chua ( centre, in photo ) said at a press conference on the sidelines of the event.

On the anti-Pakatan messages on the back of the T-shirts and posters pasted all over the MCA headquarters, Chua said these were meant to remind the public of the consequences of voting for the opposition.

“The budget by Pakatan reinforces the conviction they do not have social economic development plans for the nation,” he said, while dismissing the document for its populist policies.

For example, Chua said, the small and medium enterprises(SME) could not afford Pakatan’s proposed RM1,100 minimum wage policy.

“They (SME) cannot increase the wages drastically like Pakatan. They kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

“If Malaysiakini or Malaysian Insider increases your (journalist) salary by 300 percent, they will close down,” he replied when asked whether BN government’s  RM900 minimum wage is sufficient for urban population.

mca 59 agm 211012 Pakatan-bashing has dominated the AGM agenda thus far. The walls and pillars of the MCA headquarters have been plastered with banners and posters denouncing Pakatan and its policies.

MCA delegates also ditched their traditional white uniforms and showed up in navy blue T-shirts with anti-Pakatan slogans on the back.
