Umno leaders have been told not to waste their time in getting Chinese votes as it will be a futile effort: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/281854
Perak delegate Mohd Radzi Manan said this is because their votes will not increase for the BN.
"Getting their votes is like curah air di padang pasir (pouring water on sand, futile). Their votes won't increase.
"(Therefore), Umno must go back to their own race (the Malays)," said the Kampar division leader.
Mohd Radzi also rapped Umno leaders for going back to the "kapitan Cina" (Chinese capitan) after winning the elections.
"When wanting votes, they go to the Malays, but when they win, they go back to the Chinese capitan," he said.
