Even if PJ Utara MP had not mentioned the incident in her speech, voters these days are still having the fear of having another 513 if they weren't to vote for MCA representatives, so it is also important for the opposition to remind voters about it.

They published an apology to announce that their reporter misinterpreted and misquoted YB Chew’s speech. YB Chew did not mention “May 13” as reported in the original press report on 21st. She referred to the 1969 General Elections when the MCA was very badly defeated. It is sad that we get so worked up based one unsubstantiated piece of sensational journalism from just one Chinese newspaper source. We should be more diligent and not simply belief what we read in the papers. We should stop all rumour mongering. Please read the China Press, 23rd Jan 2008, page A7.
