KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional will not survive the next general election if Umno cannot retain the support of the Chinese community.

Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said it was unwise and a bad strategy to sideline other communities, adding that Barisan must have appeal for all races if it wanted to remain in power.
