The MCA spokesman also said taking pot shots would not resolve anything.
“You’ll get some support and maybe a lot of clicks on an article, but that’s it. However, at the end of the day, it gets us no where,” the MCA religious harmony bureau chairman told FMT in responding to Nazri’s latest jab at him.
Nazri, who is an Umno supreme council member, had yesterday slammed MCA and Ti for criticising him for backing a rally being organised by PAS in support of strengthening the shariah court’s powers.
The Padang Rengas lawmaker had said: “Who is MCA to talk about this? Do they think that they are a ‘super party’? It is so obvious that MCA has a short man’s inferiority complex.”
Nazri had also said Ti was “empty up there”.
Ti, who is also an MCA central working committee member, said while he expected differences in opinions in a coalition, there were ways to convey one’s point across.
The public and the party, he added, would respect a dissenting view, even if at the end of the day both parties decided to “agree-to-disagree”.
Hitting below the belt, Ti said, would only create resentment between the two components in BN.
Infighting, he added, was something the ruling coalition could do without, especially as the 14th general election inches closer.
“But I guess sometimes it’s easier to hit below the belt than come up with constructive criticisms,” he said, returning the jab.
