DAP made a mistake to field Lim Kit Siang in Gelang Patah, Johore. This is the miscalculation. Johore is not Penang. Johoreans are not Penangites.
Race appeals less to the Chinese in Johore. Because Johorean Chinese basically care about economy and their own prosperity tied to Singapore. Some work in Singapore. Some benefit when Singaporeans spend in Johore. Some look forward to Singapore investment in Iskandar.
Have to be careful, its words like these that make the DAP looks like they are lackeys of Singapore...
Funny those comments from Najib. Its great if the chinese vote for MCA, but dangerous if they vote for DAP. Fact is, the Pakatan Rakyat is more multi racial & representative of all the races with PAS, PKR & DAP than Barisan National is now. With the "nails in the coffin" for MCA & MIC, BN is basically just UMNO who is representative of the malays only. The chinese in Johore had the chance to really chose who to represent them & they seize it!
So much for the extremist Perkasa top candidates & the support/endorsement from Mahatir, they lost big time.
