MCA Presidential Council Press Statement

26 August 2009

This evening, after much deliberation, the Presidential Council has collectively made a decision to accept the Disciplinary Board’s recommendation to expel Dato’ Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek from the Party, with immediate effect.

We did so with a heavy heart after giving much consideration to the damage inflicted upon the party image brought about by his sex scandal featured in the DVD. This decision has been made in the best interest of the party.

Under Party Constitution Article 127 (A), he is allowed to appeal to the Central Committee within 14 days from the date he receives the decision of the Presidential Council.

In accordance with Article 128, “the decision of the Central Committee on matters of discipline shall be final and conclusive and shall not be subject to question by or in any court of law”.   

We ,as members of the Presidential Council will stand as one and we shall collectively be responsible for this decision.

With respect to YAB Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, as the Chairman of the BN, the President will explain the decision of the Presidential Council.
