The president of MCA, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said that he will continue to push the party’s attacks on the Islamic-State agenda as proposed by opposition party PAS in campaigning for the upcoming by-election of Tenang. This came in the wake of the recent reports where MCA had criticized Normala Sudirman, the PAS candidate who refrained from shaking hands with the male voters during campaigning. Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the deputy prime minister who is also the election director for BN (Barisan Nasional) has told MCA to stop harping on the issue.
Dr Chua said "If the DPM doesn't want us to talk about the Islamic issue, then he should communicate to us. There is no need for the DPM or the media to communicate this to us. When we talk about the Islamic state issue, it is something that's not new, it's not something that's extraordinary or something that we pluck out from the air. It's something that's based on the (PAS) constitution which clearly states that they want to set up an Islamic nation. As a Chinese-based party, it is my duty and I'll be failing in my duty and MCA would be failing in its duty if we don't explain to Chinese the true agenda of PAS, because (PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang) has said this very clearly,”
Dr Chua also pleaded ignorance on the hand-shake issue where he claims that as he is not a Muslim, he is not aware of the sensitivities and see no problems with shaking hands because it is good manners. “I have been in the public life for many years. It's part of the basic culture and manners to shake hands. So what is so great about that? That is your religious value which I don't know. How am I to know about the religious values when I'm not practicing that religion? For example, when I came in here, I shook everyone's hands. If I didn't do that, they would have said that I'm how lian (arrogant in Hokkien). But I have the right to say that it's basic manners to shake hands with people. That's my values. Understand? You also must value my value, which is good manners, which includes shaking hands,”

This Chua is trying desperately to win the hearts of the CHINESE for the BN candidate in this by-election, even to the extend of pitting so-called ignorance of the Islamic teaching for Normala's belief. Maybe he was not aware and ignorant in the first instant when he said that, but after the huge and cry following his remarks he still insists to bring up the same subject again, he wilfully says the same thing regarding Normala not wanting to shake men's hands then we can conclude that he does not respect the DPM's advise.
I therefore put this question to the PM and The Home Minister does not your coaltion partner MCA president is stepping on Islamic matter and is rediculing Normala? What are you two going to deal with this morally tainted adulterer Dr Chua? Have him be detained under ISA as he has caused much damage to racial and religious harmony among the different races! We the rakyat do not want this type of poltician in our midst. No wonder MCA has lost its creditibily through this Chua's conduct. What have the BN federal government going to do with this man, and what is the MCA members going to deal with this adulterer? My case rest.
