TUESDAY-17TH JUNE 2008- ANWAR'S CLAIM RIDICULOUS: MCA

Anwar’s claim ridiculous: MCA

KUALA LUMPUR:

The MCA has described as ridiculous a claim by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that its Members of Parliament topped the list of MPs from Barisan Nasional Component Parties who would defect to the Opposition. MCA Central Committee Member Datuk Fu Ah Kiow also described the claim as nothing more than a cheap stunt to generate publicity for the Parti Keadilan Rakyat Adviser. “The claim reflects on an intention to drive a wedge between BN Parties and split up the Coalition. “This is his strategy in making his comeback with the whole purpose of chasing after the prime ministership. He is obviously up to no good. “BN will remain together through thick and thin. We do not believe in abandoning our colleagues in difficult times,” said the MCA Publicity Bureau Chief in a press statement yesterday. - Bernama
