According to Perkasa, PM Najib's comment on  the white ang pow issue is like the pot calling the kettle black.

 

FREE YOURSAY 'I hope the Chinese community can forgive Tiew and forget the incident. We know who the culprit is.'

However, party chief Dr Chua Soi Lek says Collin Tiew did not represent MCA at the Malay right-wing NGO’s ‘white ang pow’ open house.

UPDATED 2.45PM Perkasa sec-gen Syed Hasan Syed Ali points to a report and picture in today's issue of Sinar Harian.

Dr Collin Tiew says MCA is innocent in the white envelope row and he is not an active party member anyway.

FREE YOURSAY 'In general, Malaysians are respectful of each other's beliefs but for Perkasa, it's a one-way street.'

FREE YOURSAY 'Collin Tiew represents MCA, so by extension MCA supports Perkasa. If he acted on his own, then he should be disciplined.'

FREE YOURSAY 'Even if there is no ill-intent, he needs to actually get out and learn something about the culture of others.'

MCA branch chief Collin Tiew apologises for bringing some 50 people to the NGO's event which featured white 'ang pow’.

UPDATED 3PM ‘The premier must cut off all ties with the Malay rights group, or his bid to promote moderation will be nothing but a political scam.’

FREE VOXPOP 'The National Feedlot Corporation is so desperate now that it is playing the racial card.'

FREE YOURSAY 'What happened to your claim that 'demonstrations are no longer relevant'? Eating your words again?'

FREE YOURSAY 'Ibrahim Ali, just admit you only want to target non-Muslims and non-Malays, whether the issues are true or lies.'

FREE YOURSAY 'Didn't Perkasa just hold a street demonstration not too long ago? In English, there is a word called ‘hypocrite'.'
