History judges leaders on their handling of national interests, not on their emotional touch. Kudos to PM Najib for taking on his detractors and declaring a hands-off approach to MCA's decision to sack Chua Soi Lek.

He said the decision to expel Chua was 'within the rights' and purview of the MCA presidential council and the MCA president.

He also dismissed rumours and speculations that he had called on Ong to reconsider the decision to sack Chua.
