MCA at the end of the tunnel ; The second largest Barisan Nasional component party only won seven parliamentary and 11 state seats after contesting in 37 parliamentary and 90 state seats.
The party also saw the opposition making inroads into its fortress in Johor.
It was even worse than the 2008 General Election when the party won 15 parliamentary and 32 state seats out of 40 parliamentary and 90 state seats contested.
Dr Chua, who took over the party reins in 2010 after a tumultuous leadership strife, said MCA respected and accepted the decision of the voters.
He said the election results clearly showed that voting was made along ethnic lines, with the Chinese believing that the DAP could change the government.
"Voting the Chinese out of the state and federal government will not help to solve dissatisfaction with the government.
"However, I firmly believe that the prime minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) will continue with its (government's) inclusive policy and continue to look after the interests of the Chinese community, particularly on Chinese education, culture and economics," he added.
He said MCA would also support Najib's call for national reconciliation.
