KUANTAN: The Barisan Nasional leadership should ask problematic leaders to buck up as they are the ones creating problems and not the component parties, MCA central committee member Datuk Ti Lian Ker said yesterday. The Kuantan MCA chief said the problems in MCA and People's Progressive Party (PPP) for example, were caused by some leaders and, therefore, the advice should be directed at these individuals.

Lauding the advice given by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on the matter on Saturday, Ti however, said it would be more effective if such advice was given straight to the problematic component party leaders.

"Those with ministerial posts have a high responsibility and should set a good example and must be well-disciplined."

Ti admitted that all parties had internal problems but they could worsen if the top leadership failed to abide by the party constitution.

However, he said the problems faced by Pakatan Rakyat were different as its main aim was to topple the BN government rather than serving the people.
