PM tells MCA to curb its communal tendencies

(FMT) KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional chairman Najib Tun Razak told MCA to step out of its communal inclination, urging them to serve all and not just the Chinese community in a “give and take” spirit. The directive was made in his speech at MCA’s annual general assembly here where the premier called on the party to encapsulate a national agenda in its struggle rather than merely focusing on Chinese needs.

“Serve the people, not just the Chinese community but all races. If you see a poor Malay or Indian, go and help him.

“I encourage Umno to do it, too. During the fasting month, I gave aid to the poor Chinese and the Indians too… so what is wrong?” he said in his 48-minute speech.

It was a thinly-veiled reference to MCA leaders who at its recent economic congress, boldly demanded the government to remove the 30 percent bumiputera equity target.
