In the morning, DPM Najib launched the International Conference on Youth and Terrorism:

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today called on the youth to condemn violence and any fragmentation of human kind.

He said youth should have the capacity to realise the futility and destructiveness of terrorism despite the difficult political circumstances or personal traumas that they faced.

At the same time, the younger generation should integrate with a multicultural society to respect religious diversity and believe in democracy and dialogue.

“One thing we all know and agree is that no religion or culture advocates violence to another. Let me also make it clear that no cause or political antecedent can justify acts of terrorism.

“Terrorism and violence cannot be justified under any circumstances,” he said in his opening speech at the International Conference on Youth and Terrorism here.
His speech was delivered by Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

Guess what his party members did. They jumped on Karpal Singh 🙂

DAP chairman and Bukit Gelugor Karpal Singh was confronted by a group of Selangor Pemuda Umno members at the Parliament tower block this afternoon.

However, by then the House security had summoned police help and the Karpal was escorted into the lobby.
The shouting session culminated in a scuffle with the Segambut member Lim Lip Eng having his shirt tugged.

The group had been waiting at the parliament tower for Karpal and as soon as he arrived they surrounded him and started heckling him over his warning to Pemuda Umno yesterday.

… This afternoon, Karpal’s aide finding his boss surrounded immediately summoned help and several DAP members came to the rescue.

They immediately got into a shouting session with the youth and that is when Lim’s shirt was tugged.

One wonders what the security were doing in the Parliament. Birthday celebration were condemned thoroughly, but managed to allow violent people inside.
