PUTRAJAYA: A government without any Chinese representatives is not good for a multi-racial country like Malaysia, said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad Tuesday.
He said MCA's decision not to accept any government posts at federal and state levels had left Barisan Nasional in a tricky situation.
He questioned who would represent the Chinese in government, if not MCA as one of the three main component parties of Barisan.
"Do we forget about them (MCA) altogether or do we find someone else?
"The fact remain that some Chinese do support the government, hence why they (MCA) won seven (Parliamentary) seats," said the former Prime Minister.
"If there are no Chinese in the government, the situation will not be good for the country because all along we believe in co-operation between the races," he said.
