TEMERLOH: We cannot run the country the way the Opposition runs itself, says Datuk Seri Liow Ting Lai (pic).

The MCA president said that Pakatan Rakyat had fallen apart and Pakatan Harapan created in its place, but the coalition was still unable to come to a consensus on various issues.

"DAP also functions to say seditious things and plant seeds of hatred. They say they fight for the interest of all races, but then they use racial issues to create hatred and to consolidate their power in the party," he said during the Ceramah Rakyat in Mentakab near here Friday night.

"Our country cannot be run like this, we must hold to the core values of Barisan Nasional, that is to share, create consensus and respect towards one another.

"As component parties of Barisan, we are united, we stand strong so that we can come to a consensus to create policies for the good of the people."

Also present was Umno information chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa, Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Sharkar Shamsudin, MIC Central Working committee member Datuk T. Murugiah and MyPPP vice president Ong Chee Keong.
