confident’

SEGAMAT (April 26, 2013): Johor PKR
chairman Chua Jui Meng has appealed to the Chinese community here not to be
overly confident of toppling the Barisan Nasional (BN).
“Yes,
we are all enthusiastic and want change. The wind of change is so evidently
felt that it is certainly going to be an even bigger political tsunami in Johor
than it was in 2008.
“Everywhere
I go, the Chinese community tells me not to worry about their undivided
support. That is very, very reassuring and motivating.
“However,
there are some 7,000 plus more new voters registered in Felda 1 to 7 and other
Malay areas.
“We
hope to garner at least 30% support. The Chinese, however, must come out in
full force to ensure Pakatan Rakyat (PR) candidates from PKR, DAP and PAS win
in both state and parliamentary constituencies.
“Every
vote from the people of Segamat, especially the Chinese community, is crucial
to realise change for the better, for our children and generations to come,” he
said in his ceramah in Jementah
tonight.

The
ceramah was organised by the DAP and
some RM11,000 in donations was collected from the crowd of about 2,000 Chinese.
Chua
said: “We now have a Malay leader who dares to champion Malaysians. He dares to
say that Chinese are my children, Indians are my children and Malays are also
my children.
“He
is the only Malay leader, other than Onn Jaafar in 1946, who dare to speak up
for all Malaysians. Not a single Umno leader dare say he will do away with
race-based policies to fast track socio-economic growth for all Malaysians.
“Please
do not disappoint Anwar. Give him and all PR candidates in both state and
parliamentary seats your undivided support. Your ballots show that you are the
boss. Not BN or Umno and their cronies,” he added.
Chua
urged the people of Segamat to show “Najib bin Rosmah” that “we want change
“After
casting your ballots on May 5, don’t let Malaysians outside Johor in the
peninsula say that the people of Segamat are losers who fear to change the
55-year-old evil and corrupt regime.
“The
DAP candidate for Jementah Tan Chen Choon and I know it is a tough fight for us
in Segamat as Johor is BN’s bastion state.
“But
Lawan Tetap Lawan (Fight, we must
fight),” he said to a thunderous round of applause from the crowd.
