YOURSAY | ‘Despite being caught on audio, he still brazenly denies his own words.’

Apologise for asking me to apologise, Tajuddin tells Chong

Odin Tajué: Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, I pay to read what Malaysiakini publishes. That means I do not have to defend any of its reporters or editors even if they are right, and never mind if they are wrong.

But I am defending its reporter, Shakira Buang, who recorded you making your arrogant threat, because I am certain that she has not fabricated what you have uttered. I am also certain that neither has her editor done so.

You are obviously a moronic ‘bangsat’, an ill-educated, low-class kampung swollen head, and so I will educate you right now and bring you down a few notches.

There must be a video taken of you. If need be, Malaysiakini can secure the services of a specialist to view and analyse the video and audio recordings. He (also to be read as she) will be able to observe the correlation between the two.

By studying the movements of your lips and simultaneously listening to the audio recording, he will be able to tell if indeed you have uttered the words recorded on the audio tracks.

There are also specialists who can use special instruments to determine if the words recorded were in fact uttered by you. Therefore, you will not be able to claim that the audio tracks contain the voice of someone else that has been synched with your lip movements.

Further, Malaysiakini can also assemble witnesses to confirm whether the video recording was made at the particular time, date and place.

So don't talk big. You are just a typical Umno ‘bangsat’, who freely threaten and insult others, particularly the Chinese, then lie through their teeth.

You asked the Malaysiakini reporter to tell her editor to be careful? It is you who need to be careful. Which you have not been.

Just Your Normal Rakyat: "What is reported by Malaysiakini ... That was not necessarily what I said," said Tajuddin.

Indeed, whether it is true or not can be easily solved. I am sure there are a lot of other reporters (and some individuals) who have taken their own audio recordings of the incident.

And I'm sure someone has also done a video recording. Let's get to the truth then.

YF: Tajuddin, if you are honest you can sue everyone who misquoted you on this. If you can't then you have admitted that you are dishonest and deserved to be condemn by the rakyat for being a Umno racist.

Turvy: Someone else had said this before. The best way to handle such louts is simply to ignore them.

Their hands are soiled with wrongs that even gods cannot forgive. They have robbed and breached the trust placed on them.

I think responding to their childish provocations gives them the only pleasure they have left in a diminishing life.

Lamps: Umno continues to insult the Chinese and when MCA ask for an apology, they get slammed and humiliated. This is MCA in BN. They are treated like rubbish in their own coalition.

Atilla: It looks like almost the whole cabinet consists of brainless and apple-polishers who spew racist words in the hope of creating racial tensions so that attention can be diverted away from the scandals afflicting the government.

Really, I just can't imagine we can have ministers like Tajuddin who can continue to act so stupidly and shamelessly.

If PM Najib Razak has any sense of dignity, he should immediately remove this idiot to avoid Malaysia becoming a nation of clowns.

Not Convinced: And after removing Tajuddin, Najib should remove himself, too.

Worried Sick: It is people like Tajuddin who give the Malays a bad name. Do not for one moment imagine that we would equate this man with the rest of the Malay people. He does not represent them.

He is a moron by any yardstick, so leave him be and show your wrath in GE14.

Incidentally, the audio recording was posted by Malaysiakini . Just look it up . You can hear Tajuddin laughing like a hyena after spewing his remarks.

FellowMalaysian: Despite being caught on audio, Tajuddin still brazenly denies his own words.

This despicable person will never learn from his actions and he and the bunch of Umno ministers and MPs believe they can do and say anything they like as they are the law themselves.

For shamelessly saying he will slap someone, MCA's Liong Tiong Lai and Wee Ka Siong must come forward to defend Youth chief Chong Sin Woon for asking Tajuddin to apologise.

Tajuddin now must be condemned with the most severe reprimand by the BN disciplinary board.

Simple Malaysian: As far as I see it, all this is just a smoke screen cum sub-plot to hide current issues.

Nevertheless, would be interesting to see how far MCA will defend its ‘maruah’, whatever that is left of it.
