The MCA should focus on gaining Chinese support, says Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi, instead of following DAP that he says likes to play the racial card.

Mohd Puad said MCA should regain the strength lost due to the poor showing during the 2008 general election.     

"MCA central committee member Loh Seng Kok should focus on strengthening the party rather than criticising Utusan Malaysia newspaper via Malaysiakini and Malaysian Insider ," he said when launching an electronic dictionary at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) today.

Puad said Loh's criticism of Utusan Malaysia is not fair as the newspaper  has served the nation well since the fight for independence from British rule.     

                            

The Umno-owned daily had recently riled many quarters with its racist call for Malays to take up a ‘1Melayu 1Bumi’ stand.
