Perkasa Youth today trained its guns on Umno's Pulai MP Nur Jazlan Mohamed, branding him as "arrogant and stupid", while asking him to "shut up" about Perkasa.

 

The riposte comes in response to Nur Jazlan's interview in the news weekly 'The Heat', in which the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairperson said that Perkasa is being used a "tool" for Umno to deflect from other issues.

 

Perkasa Youth chief Irwan Fahmi Ideris ( right ) said in a statement today that Perkasa was not an "animal to be tamed".

 

"We strongly deny the allegation that Perkasa is just a tool for Umno," Irwan Fahmi said today.

 

"If there are more stupid and arrogant leaders like him, Perkasa Youth feels that Umno will face a gloomy day during the 14th general elections.

"Who is he to advise Perkasa? If he's being in politics for individual interest and not for race and religion, it is better Nur Jazlan shut up," he asserted.

 

Irwan Fahmi said that Umno is no longer able to protect the interests of the Malays and that is why many Umno leaders choose to join Perkasa.

 

"We have never forced anyone to join Perkasa," he added.
