In today’s Mingguan Malaysia, Awang Selamat in his column called on the authorities to take swift action against me for my video, saying if not , a wrong signal will be sent to the Malaysians that wantonly insulting the country and races is allowed.
Awang Selamat’s remarks share a similarity with those who have accused me of insulting the country, race, religion or royalty or our security forces, that is, they make allegations without providing any evidence.
I am not surprised that no evidence is provided because the fact is that there is no such insult in my video. My satirical video did not touch on race, religion, royalty, security forces or Lahad Datu intrusion tragedy.
Neither am I surprised that Utusan Malaysia has chosen to attack me using false allegations, given its record of anti DAP.
I am however most shocked by the comments made by Housing and Urban Wellbeing Minister Abdual Rahman Dhalan.
Abdul Rahman‘s comments in his yesterday’s tweets were most shocking, irresponsible and unacceptable when he not only said “you reap what you sow” but also that the DAP has relentlessly attacked the position of Malays and Muslims.
He also said in his yesterday’s tweets:-
“Maybe the DAP don’t understand. To Malays, insulting the Agong and Islam is more painful and degrading than a slap.
“Since 2008, the DAP has relentlessly attacked the position of Malays and Islam. When there is a reaction from Malays, the DAP acts as if they are victims. Crazy!”
Abdul Rahman has created the most dangerous and the biggest lies against the DAP. Is he trying to incite the Malays, Muslims and the Royalty against DAP?
DAP has been in existence since 1966 and our struggle is on open record is for all to see. DAP‘s struggle is for all Malaysians regardless of race and religion. We are not anti Royalty.
Whatever is Abdul Rahman’s agenda, whether to divert attention from the price hikes issues or the internal Umno power struggle, he should not create lies against me or the DAP.
He is playing with fire and is definitely another Minister who is unfit and should resign or be expelled from the Cabinet.
I call on the Prime Minister to immediately ask Umno leaders and Utusan Malaysia to stop playing with fire and to stop fabricating lies against the DAP.
