MCA youth says:
Since independence, Malaysians have worked hard to stay together as one to build the country. But now, just days ahead of Merdeka celebrations, such comments are being made. We are very disappointed, MCA Youth leader Hang Cheng Peng told reporters.
They demand an immediate apology and explanation:
MCA Youth has submitted a letter yesterday demanding an open apology,
retraction and a promise not to make similar statements in the future.
MCA Youth KL launched signature campaign to condemn Ahmad which a Deputy Minister also signed (Wee Ka Siong – going for MCA election soon).
Gerakan also do not intend to be quiet. Its Penang Youth member issued press statement asking Prime Minister and Deputy to take action (maybe he is joking!)
Note that only those “youth” fellas are making a fuss.
Anyway, this made me think. If Chinese are squatters, then Indians are…?
at least somebody could stand up and speak . I heard the news came only in chinese dailies …. true ? Maybe Chinnapek can confirm ……
one thing for sure ….. if chinese then umno will be careful in it’s move due to the communal strenght ….. indians??? wish not to think….. minority yet so many moles within ….. sigh….
Hi VJ,
The word has been said infront of Najib in the recent election cmpaign with cheering UMNO supporters.
another sandiwara has begun …… PM said Ahmad wont repeat such statement (does it mean that what he said true ??? ) That’s all ??
DPM said that ….minta maaf ….. that’s all ???
Well how many non malays have been charged for sedition so far…… remember these dungus charged at LGE for making minor statement on NEP ?
But here a serious racial remark was said and no action ?? The sandiwara will ocntinue …… enjoy the show…. executive producer : umno.
latest news….
“We no longer want to be associated with Penang Umno,” Dr Koh told a packed press conference at its state headquarters in Macalister Road.
Good for Gerakan . Heard MCA severing ties with bukit bendera umno as well.
Moving forward they should cut ties with BN ……
You guys read Ahmad’s lengthy statement in M’siakini ? He is trying to talk about pre-merdeka stories where
British brought in chinese … then citizenship…then they capture economy ….the social contract…..bla..bla..
It sounds crap . If he wanted to talk about history we can also . It will end up they themselves were imigrant in the first place.
History will also point out how early indians/chinese get here . The social contract is political . Probably the dungu
tried to show that he got C3 in history .
Anyway Ahmad gave handful of gems to opposition to further win chinese support , beyond current ~75% support .
