FORMER MCA President Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik says the two-party complement can work in Malaysia, though it depends on the peculiarity of the Opposition.
Despite not carrying led MCA's assign in the 2008 polls, Ling in an talk with Sin Chew Daily published today, pronounced the complement has been proven viable in other democracies, as great as as such there is no reason why it cannot be practised in Malaysia.
Ling said: "But it (the implementation of the two-party system) will have to depend on the peculiarity of the opposition. If they (the opposition) have been terrible (lousy), the two-party complement cannot be effectively implemented. If they have been very great such as in Penang, (it can be done).
"In actuality the DAP has done rsther than well, if not for the quarrel in between celebration leaders Karpal Singh as great as Deputy Chief Minister II Dr P Ramasamy."
Asked for his take on Barisan Nasional's (BN) domestic fortunes in the subsequent ubiquitous election, Ling, who has kept the low profile after stepping down as celebration arch 9 years ago, did not mince his difference when he pronounced BN will not be able to recapture Selangor.
He pronounced apart from PKR personality Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Pakatan Rakyat leaders such as Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim as great as Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng have built themselves the great picture for staying clear of crime as great as not carrying abused their power.
"Generally speaking, the Chinese have been not great tow! ards BN, though they have no preference in Perak. BN might receive less support in Johor though not to the point of losing the state.The subsequent ubiquitous choosing will be very tough for Barisan, (but) I hold it still can win, since the supervision has been spending income non-stop underneath different names, that has not happened before."
Punters have been speculating on the date of the subsequent polls, with the ultimate being in September, though to Ling, "the debate on the best time to call for choosing is one for that there is no answer."
"What we hold is the well-suited time might turn out to be otherwise. Therefore, the chances of the 13th ubiquitous choosing being hold in Jun have been not high.To put it more correctly, Barisan is not very certain either it can win in the subsequent election. Some contend it (the election) will be hold in June, I don't know either it (BN) dares to go ahead, (as) there have been still the lot of crises (issues) that have been yet to be resolved".
