DAP veteran says coalition must continue seeking support, but also avoid playing up racial sentiments.
DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang said Pakatan Harapan needs to find a formula to win over the people's support following its defeat in the Semenyih by-election.
"The challenge for Harapan after the Semenyih by-election defeat is to find a formula to be able to continue to inspire hope and support among Malaysians that Harapan is committed to the building of a New Malaysia for the benefit of all Malaysians and future generations and not to out-Umno Umno or out-PAS PAS.
Lim said Harapan needs to convince Malaysians that it is committed to the New Malaysia objective and that it was making progress."We must fight for the rights of the Chinese in Malaysia, but not to the detriment of the non-Chinese. Last Saturday, BN wrested the Semenyih state seat from Harapan, capturing the constituency with a 1,914-vote majority.
