An Umno Youth member has apologised for using foul language against BN’s candidate for the Kuala Kangsar by-election Mastura Mohd Yazid.

However, Syed Rosli Syed Harman Jamalulllail also wanted her to clarify allegations that she cried to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

"I am prepared to meet her, I'm only human and not immune to mistakes. I have deleted the posting that insulted Mastura," he told Malaysiakini.

Syed Rosli claimed that he used the term “pu**mak” out of anger.

"I wrote the (Facebook) status because I was very disappointed. I tend to shoot my mouth off and I'm hot tempered.

"I was being frank when using inappropriate words against Mastura and Umno. I was venting my anger," he said.

On the same note, Syed Rosli (photo) reiterated that the widow of Kuala Kangsar MP Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan should not contest in the June 18 by-election.

"I am of the opinion that Mastura does not have the experience... she will not be able to continue her husband's legacy," he said.

The Umno man, who is planning to contest the seat as an independent candidate despite the warning from party leaders that he would be sacked, said there were others more qualified to be fielded as a candidate in the by-election.

Although repentant over his crude Facebook post, Syed Rosli, however, repeated his allegation that Mastura might be “power crazy”.

"There is information that she cried in front of the prime minister in order to become a candidate - I'm not accusing - but Mastura should give an explanation about the accusation as it is circulating in Kuala Kangsar and social media.

"If it is true, then we can see Mastura is someone who is power crazy," he said.

Asked about the possible expulsion from Umno if he contested, Syed Rosli was unfazed.

"I am prepared to be sacked and accept whatever risks. With my sacrifice, even if I am sacked, I will always have a place in Umno," he said.
