KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 ― Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek today lashed out at China Press over its report of walkouts at a Johor MCA dinner last week, and accused the newspaper of embellishing the departures.

“When you have a big function of 15,000 people and (the start) was delayed by rain, you expect the crowd to leave by then,” the MCA president said today.

“If you see of all the press, only China Press said that.”

Dr Chua was referring to an article by the Chinese newspaper in which it reported that around 20 per cent of the crowd at a “grand dinner” event held by MCA in Kulai, Johor last Saturday had left during his speech.
