IPOH, Aug 22 (Bernama) -- MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said on Saturday, his speech at the recent Chinese Economic Congress which touched on the Bumiputera equity issue was just stating his views, not a form of demand.
He said that when such a congress took place, there would be views being voiced out.
Speaking at a news conference after chairing the Perak MCA meeting here, Chua said MCA welcomed the advice of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, reminding leaders of Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties to resolve problems in the BN spirit of consensus.
Chua said the party thanked the prime minister for the advice, which he said was in line with the BN's vast experience in dealing with issues of common interest.
The MCA president's remark at the congress, in which he called for the gradual removal of the 30 per cent Bumiputera equity, received a wave of protests particularly from Umno leaders and members.
In another development, Chua said the Perak MCA viewed the draft of the Ipoh Local Plan 2020 as an important document and would form a special committee to scrutinise it.
He said the committee would also carry out discussions and dialogues with traders, petty traders, school managements and other stakeholders affected by the plan.
"Input, suggestions and issues raised during the dialogue would be included in a memorandum to be forwarded to the state government for consideration," he said.

A chicken indeed.
As president of the Malaysian Chickens Association he chickened out!
It is neither a demand nor a personal view.
Demanding equality and fair play is a must do.
It is a must do in today's competitive world.
It is also a must do for a nation claiming to be an Islamic country.
It is about an Islamic country with fairness. It is Not about a Bumiputra country.
Dr. Chua is really a chicken.
But they really need the chicken to be the head of the chicken club.
Cant even stand up for basic rights.
