MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek today said that it was time to change the concept of power sharing within Barisan Nasional. He said that the oft-used slogan of ‘Ketuanan Melayu', or Malay supremacy, that indicated a master and servant relationship was unacceptable. "We accept Malay leadership, but not Malay supremacy," he said in his speech which was delivered at the Kancil Awards Festival Speaker Series. Chua also touched on the changes brought about after the March general election. The election, he said, marked the start of the two-party system, thus forcing political parties to change to be competitive. "The rakyat voted for change. It is very obvious, that the BN leaders, my party included, were not prepared and were caught unaware of the voters' sentiments. ('We accept Malay leadership, not Malay supremacy' - Malaysiakini)
I would like to think that Chua is a down-to-earth leader, not in denial and open to change. Well, he is like a lone ranger now though elected as deputy president despite his 'sexplosion'. He is clearly being 'sidelined' as he is not accepted into the cabinet. I wonder how long he will survive...

Like it or not, it appears DR Chua is speaking his mind and most of it makes sense.
Chua Soi Lek is wrong. Maybe he bodoh in Melayu language.
Ketuanan Melayu means ketuanan Sultan.
Not accepting ketuanan Melayu means he wants sultans to go. Itu derhaka!!
