Earlier, Kampung Tunku DAP state assemblyman Lau Weng San said in his speech that the rakyat must reject Barisan Nasional.
"You need somebody to lose power then only that person will change. Just like when you teach your children not to do something bad, you scold them or don't give pocket money... the same applies.
“You must feel the pain of losing power then only can BN rejuvenate itself. Many say that Pakatan is not perfect, but we are on the path to reform," he added.

PETALING JAYA: DAP is gearing up its election machinery in anticipation of a snap polls being called, said party publicity chief Tony Pua.
Pua, who is also Petaling Jaya Utara MP, said the DAP election committee met yesterday to discuss the upcoming tasks and activities for the general election.
"We have to step up our preparations now, though in the strict sense we have not yet formally started," Pua told reporters after a fund raising dinner here last night.
"We aim to be ready within the next two months. We hope to achieve peak condition by then and will continue to maintain that," he said.
Among the activities discussed by the election committee, he said, included the printing of leaflets and brochures and the creation of an election manifesto.
Asked when the election would be called, Pua said it could be held anytime and even members of the election committee had differing views on this.
"There are those who are saying March, April, while others are speculating late 2011 in September perhaps. Whatever it is, we hope to be prepared much earlier," he said.
On Pakatan Rakyat retaining power in Selangor, Pua said the coalition still had an edge but it cannot rest on its laurels.
"We have to continue to send the message to the people that we are the better choice. And we must be in a continual state of improvement mode.
“One key difference is that we don't find our MB enriching himself through improper means," he said, in an obvious swipe at former MB Dr Mohd Khir Toyo who was facing a corruption charge.
'BN must suffer pain of defeat'

“You must feel the pain of losing power then only can BN rejuvenate itself. Many say that Pakatan is not perfect, but we are on the path to reform," he added.
PKR's Lembah Pantai MP and newly minted vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar also agreed that Pakatan was not perfect.
"Eventhough we are not perfect, we have to showcase that we are different from BN. We have to do a lot more to prove that we deserve the position we are in," she said.
"This is not the time for us to pat ourselves on the back. It is not the time to relax or sleep. This is the time for action, to move faster and smarter for the upcoming storm," she added.
