THE Selangor MCA Youth recently organised a Gong Xi Fa Cai night in Taman Kinrara, Puchong, in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.

Deputy Finance Minister and Selangor MCA chief Datuk Donald Lim was the guest of honour at the function.

In his speech, Lim said, “To run a country at this juncture is not easy, what more a multi-racial country like Malaysia.

“There are a lot of countries with people from a single race or religion who are facing a lot of turbulence and uncertainties.

“However, Malaysia has been performing well on the economic, social and employment fronts. We recorded a 5.6% overall economic growth, a 3% unemployment rate and 2% inflation rate in 2012.”

Lim said having positive transformations and good leaders like Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak have helped to propel the country forward.

“On the Asian front, countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan had their elections last year, and the people gave their votes to the older, established parties, which have been running their respective countries for many years,” he said.

“Similarly, the Barisan Nasional government has been running Malaysia for many years, though we are not without our flaws, Najib is doing his best to correct the shortcomings.

“If the people in other countries can vote for the party with experienced leaders and a good track record, I don’t see why the people in Malaysia cannot do it.”

Meanwhile, Selangor MCA Youth chairman Dr Kow Cheong Wei said he had been receiving a lot of queries from his friends as to who they should vote for.

“I suggested that they make their decision based on the following qualities.

“They are — management ability, leadership with commitment, capability to bring harmony among Malaysians and a government that can ensure a stable environment with economic opportunities,” he said.
