PETALING JAYA: Chinese Malaysians cannot change the ruling government in the 14th General Election without the support of the majority ethnic group, said former MCA president Tan Sri Dr Chua Soi Lek (pic).

In an interview with a news portal, Dr Chua said the local Chinese community make up only 23% of the population and thus would not be able to change the government on their votes alone.
