(Sin Chew Daily) JOHOR BAHRU: MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek's remarks that the concept of Malay supremacy was no longer relevant, is not the party's stand, said party president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
"It is his personal view. The MCA's stand will be based on a resolution made by its president or state chairmen," Ong told reporters after chairing the Johor MCA liaison committee meeting here today. It was the first Johor MCA meeting after the party elections last month. Ong, who is Johor MCA liaison committee chairman, said the MCA's stand would be announced by its information bureau spokesman. Asked whether any action would be taken against Dr Chua (over the remarks), Ong replied, "Action? What action?" Dr Chua was reported as saying on Thursday that the oft-used slogan of Ketuanan Melayu' or Malay supremacy, which indicated a master-and-servant relationship was rejected in the March 8 general election. He had said it was time to change the concept of power sharing within Barisan Nasional. On the appointment of chairmen and deputy chairmen of 24 bureaus in the state liaison committees, Ong said the positions which carried heavy responsibilities, were not something to be proud about.
