BATU PAHAT: The DAP slogan for change, Ubah, does not determine the destiny of the Chinese community at either the central or state level and is merely a misrepresentation, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.
"Ubah means changing the fate of the people. But the DAP cannot do it and is just giving false hopes," he said, while accusing the DAP of deceiving the people.
"The DAP would not be able to provide a prime minister or a deputy prime minister if the Opposition comes into power.
"It would be unfortunate for Johor if the Opposition takes over the administration, or even if they have some additional representatives in the state assembly," Dr Chua said at a Chinese New Year event organised by the Sri Gading MCA division here on Monday.
He said it would be clear, between the DAP and PAS, which party will be the "boss".
"Johor has 56 state seats. The DAP will contest a maximum of 15 seats while PAS will go for at least 32 seats. Think twice before you vote," he urged the Chinese electorate.
He said that Johor had always been a moderate state for all races, adding that this was proven in the approval of land for Chinese schools and temples.
Advising voters not to be duped by the Opposition into sacrificing the economic and social achievements in Johor, Dr Chua said that the implications are big should the DAP and PAS reduce the Barisan Nasional representation in the assembly.
"We are going to face problems in the tourism and service sectors and in attracting foreign direct investments because people would worry that the state would not be as stable as it was as a Barisan fortress," Dr Chua said, adding that PAS would intervene in the administration with restrictions like it had done in the states ruled by the Pakatan Rakyat.
The MCA president said that among all the states, Johor had benefited most from the nation's transformation programmes.
Dr Chua cited the investments in the Iskandar Malaysia region, which had surpassed RM100bil, and in Pengerang, which had received more than RM60bil.
He added that Johor was set to see another major development with the implementation of the high-speed super rail project between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
