Umno Confident Chinese Will Switch Support To BN - Ahmad Maslan

BUKIT MERTAJAM, April 25 (Bernama) -- Umno is confident the Chinese community in the country, particularly in Penang, will switch their support to the Barisan Nasional (BN) and strengthen Malaysia's ruling coalition, the party's Information Chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan said here.

He said it might seem that Chinese support for the BN was on the decline but he believed that this phenomenon would not prolong.

"I believe the Chinese appreciate what the government has done for them and they are among the people who enjoy first-class facilities as the live in the urban areas.

"As such, I am confident and positive that the Chinese will switch their support to the BN because their views and thinking will change (in due course)," he told reporters after the launch of the 1Malaysia Dinner organised by the Batu Kawan Umno Division in Juru here last night.

Ahmad, who is a Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, said the government made available facilities and assistance equally to all the communities in the country.
