‘MCA will leave BN if DAP gets in’

Vice president Donald Lim says this is because there is a need for a check and balance as most nations are vying for a two party-system.
PETALING JAYA: MCA vice president Donald Lim said that his party will leave Barisan Nasional (BN) if DAP joins the ruling coalition.
“We will take a strong stand if DAP joins BN. MCA will leave the ruling coalition,” he said.
On May 8, former Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin called for DAP to join BN in support of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s national reconciliation plan.
Although conceding that it may be difficult for some quarters to accept such an idea, Zainuddin said the matter should be considered in the interest of political stability and harmony.
However, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang shot down Zainuddin’s idea, saying the party will remain loyal to Pakatan Rakyat.
On why MCA would take such action, Lim said it was needed in order to create a sense of check and balance among the top two political coalitions in Malaysia.
“People are looking for a two party system in the 21st century. In the US, we have the Republicans and the Democrats while in the United Kingdom we have the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats.
“We can’t avoid it. If everyone fall on one side, it’s not good for the country. There must be voices on both sides for a check and balance,” said the former deputy finance minister.
Whether MCA would oppose DAP’s entry into BN, Lim said: “ We will not oppose because they won a lot of seats. We can’t stop them from joining.”
Based on BN’s system, an entry of a new party into the ruling coalition must receive unanimous support from all component parties.
In the 13th general election, DAP grabbed 38 out of the 89 parliamentary seats won by Pakatan.
