Two articles from The Star Online Today :1) Get out of BN, Bukit Bendera Umno head tells Gerakan
2) Penang Gerakan cuts ties with state Umno
Ahmad Ismail have been giving statements that can create tensed and and effect the unity between all races which are living in a peaceful country. The latest press conference which was held yesterday where it ended up by tearing up the photo of former Penang Chief Minister, Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon. The action can be describe as an idiotic behavior by those who are involved in it. Lately Penang UMNO have been giving press statement that can create anger and dissatisfaction, ie :-
i) Ahmad Ismail's speech included a wide range of topics such as the divide-and-rule policy of the colonial British, the immigration of Chinese and Indians to the country, May 13 racial riots, Malay special rights and privileges, the social contract, citizenship for non-Malays and New Economic Policy.
Former Bayan Lepas assemblyperson Mohd Zain asked “non-Malays to be extra careful with
their deeds and words”. “Don’t disturb and push the Malays too much. Don’t think we are quiet.“We can retaliate very aggressively,” he thumped home amidst applause from supporters. (Malaysiakini News)
ii) I am surprised with the unexpected overwhelming support I had received from Malay -Muslims across the country. It seems Malays have kept back their disgruntlement for far too long and my issue had evoked their sentiments. It is going to be a major issue now(Malaysiakini)
iii) In another development, Penang Umno secretary Azhar Ibrahim has stood by his call for the Sin Chew reporter in question to “be shot” should a May 13-type racial riot breaks out. Contacted today, Azhar reiterated firmly that, “the journalist deserved to be shot if her article causes another May 13". (Malaysiakini)
iv) Tun Dr. Mahathir commented on why the Malays should apologies since Indian or Chinese political parties / leaders didn't do so for what Hindraf and Wee Meng Chee did. (Tun's Blog)
Maybe Tun don't realize that Hindraf or Wee is not a component party or BN members for the leaders / component parties to apologies. What Ahmad Ismail has done is far different from what he is trying to relate with Hindraf or Wee. Gerakan and Dr. Koh's action to cut ties with Penang UMNO is a brave drastic action and to send a message to UMNO that we dont tolerate racial Idiotic action. Well Pak Lah should be brave now to take disciplinary action on Ahmad Ismail to prevent from making the situation worse where Gerakan would have to pull out from BN. Other top level UMNO leaders have been saying that Gerakan should not leave BN since it's Ahmad Ismail personal statement. But they dont see or pretend not to see that when Ahmad have been giving his press statement where he is being flanked by all 13 Penang UMNO Division leaders, so how would that be his personal opinion?! UMNO should take disciplinary action on Ahmad immediately, if they fail to do so, Gerakan should not hesitate to pull out of BN. Ahmad's personal mistake now has been drag into fight's and dissatisfaction between component parties. UMNO - Stop creating racial issues and Gerakan - Stand against it ( creating racial issues). SATU HATI !
