GE13: Chua confident BN will retain Johor

(The Star) – MCA is confident Barisan Nasional will continue to govern Johor despite the tough battle expected between the ruling coalition and the Opposition, says Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

“Every state is difficult for Barisan and Pakatan Rakyat. We are confident we will still form the Johor Government,” said the MCA president.

Dr Chua warned that whatever loss suffered by Barisan would be at the expense of MCA, Gerakan and MIC.

“It will be a government dominated by Umno and in the Opposition, by DAP.

“So, it is up to the Chinese to decide,” he said after paying last respects to the mother of Bekok assemblyman and Labis MCA division chairman Datuk Tan Kok Hong here yesterday.

Koh Bee Harp passed away at the age of 81. Representatives from party headquarters, the state and the Labis division also paid their last respects.
