MCA Youth today slammed Umno division chief Ahmad Ismail for allegedly making racist remarks against the minority community during the recent Permatang Pauh by-election campaign Ahmad, the Bukit Bendera Umno division head, had allegedly said Chinese were "squatters" in the country, who were both selfish and unjust, at a ceramah on Aug 24 whilst trying to buttress support for BN candidate Arif Shah Omar Shah in the by-election contest against opposition icon Anwar Ibrahim.
MCA Youth leader Hang Cheng Peng demanded an immediate apology and explanation from Ahmad. Meanwhile, Federal Territories MCA Youth today launched a signature campaign outside the MCA headquarters in Kuala Lumpur to condemn Ahmad, demanding that he be sacked from his party. In a strongly worded press statement issued today, Penang Gerakan Youth exco member Dr Thor Teong Gee urged BN deputy chairperson and Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to take action.
Extracted from Malaysiakini. No way are they going to sack him, they might give him a Datukship and swat away you pesky Chinese MCA Chinese
chauvinists..
Come on you want to ask another extremist like Najib to take action. This is the same guy who in the midst of UMNO's internal crisis in 1987.
Najib Tun Razak, in a widely documented speech
threatened to bathe his keris, or Malaysian dagger , in Chinese blood, resurrecting fears of the country's calamitous Malay-Chinese race riots of 1969. MCA knows being with UMNO is a liability for itself when it was rejected by the majority of the Chinese, as it was just a slave of UMNO to hold on to power.
To quote a Malaysian from
Malaysiakini , Eileen : Dear readers, may I know which one do you prefer, Umno's scornful ‘Chinese squatter' or Anwar's ‘Anak Melayu anak kita, anak Cina anak kita, anak India pun anak kita'? Are you still enjoying sleeping with the enemy or have you woken up by now?
UMNO has said worst things than that, "Brandishing the keris was hurtful to the non-Malays but the party leadership did nothing to take the Umno Youth chief to task for the menacing and insulting gesture.
"Which was why he (Hishammuddin) was emblodened to repeat it and provide extra impetus for the Chinese and Indians to abandon BN at the polls." That was the spin then. You Chinese in MCA think that UMNO will repent? Dream on. You are just a foot stool for UMNO to remain in power and wipe it's feet upon you. The more the Chinese accept MCA, UMNO will gain the upper hand against the Rakyat. If you truely want UMNO to apologise and repent and treat you equally get out of the coalition called the Barisan Nasional.
There is this UMNO big wig,
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin Umno vice-president worried about some Barisan Nasional component party leaders' comments about the possibility of their parties leaving Barisan. Really, you think he is worried, no way, it is his way of placating the MCA and Gerakan. How short you memeory is? Remember Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wanted the Asian Strategic and Leadership Institute (Asli) to retract its 45% bumiputra equity ownership estimation. Muhyiddin said the report was a challenge to the Government’s integrity and described the report as irresponsible and “rubbish”. “The report is rubbish and cannot be used.
As a Malay, I am angry and I think it was done with malice.We can see the signs when the ship is taking water, meaning it is sinking when the "beloved of Indians", Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has called on the Indian community to “not look elsewhere” if they have grouses or grievances. For 50 donkey years the Indians were being screwed, have been screwed and will continue being screwed. He has to say that, " I call on you not to look elsewhere but to use this channel.
The best way to improve the Indian community is for us to work together." They want you to forget the water canons and the baton charges during the Hindraf rally. Yeah, not forgetting him offering scrap metal licences for Indians,
are Indian Malaysians only good for scrap metal Najib, how about some AP's?UMNO needs MCA, MIC, Gerakan and the East Malaysian parties, more than the other parties need it, to push it's "Ketuanan Melayu" agenda. The component parties in the BN, support this knowingly. Without the component parties supporting them, then only will UMNO abandon it's policies. So, abandon this leaking rust bucket called UMNO for your own good. Your alternative....Pakatan Rakyat whose agenda is "Ketuanan Rakyat!" Now, which is the morally right thing to do? Join Anwar, get the blessings of the Rakyat instead of brickbats for being the stooges of UMNO.
