He recounted the bitter lesson from the Sibu by-election in which Najib had given RM15 million to Chinese schools, but BN "tetap mati" (still died).
"I always believe in 'you help me, I help you', and that it is not right if 'I help you, you makan (eat) me'. I don't believe our people are like that."
Then he issued his warning.
"If you don't help us, when we are back (in power), we don't help you. That's our strategy."
Chan said this when debating the keynote address delivered earlier today by Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud.
Chan's session was closed to media but his speech could be heard through a loudspeaker set up outside the convention hall.
Defer unpopular policies
Meanwhile, Chan also called on the federal government to defer unpopular policies until BN is done with the state election.
"For example, stop the increase of petrol prices. We hope the federal leaders will not increase it in the next two to three months," he said.
During today's one-day convention, held to consolidate the ruling coalition before it faces the state election expected to be called next month, BN leaders from the component parties called on each other to enhance coalition unity.
