DAP dares Gerakan, MCA to quit BN over Ahmad Ismail’s return

DAP leaders today challenged leading Barisan Nasional (BN) parties, Gerakan and MCA, to make their stand known on Umno’s decision to lift the suspension of controversial Penang warlord Datuk Ahmad Ismail.
“Are they willing to quit Barisan Nasional?” asked Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran.

Yesterday, The Malaysian Insider reported that former Bukit Bendera Umno chief, Ahmad, who was suspended in September last year for uttering a racist remark, has been reinstated into the party last Friday.

“I am not shocked at all by the decision,” Kulasegaran told reporters in Parliament here.

Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong wondered what message Umno is trying to send when lifting the suspension.

“I want to know the view of Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon as the minister in charge of national integration, and what message Umno is sending,” said Liew.

While Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said the decision indicates that Umno is not serious in adopting the 1 Malaysia concept.

“Is Umno still holding on to its Ketuanan Melayu ideology, or has it truly accepted the 1 Malaysia concept?” Pua questioned.

He added that 1 Malaysia, which was introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to promote national unity, must also be adopted by Umno.

1 Malaysia concept is Najib's bullshit. UMNO is a racist party just like Mahathir said. And he's right because UMNO Baru is his UMNO. With Ahmad Ismail back UMNO will swing deep into racial politics once again and forever because that is the true UMNO.

I am trying to understand what Najib Administration stands for;

1) Forgive corrupted politician so they appointed Isa to be their candidate.
2) Forgive racist politician so they reduce Ahmad Ismail suspension to 3 years.
3) Power is more important than crime. Like the two former PKR Perak Assemblymen who were still under investigation from corruption been woo by UMNO to quite Pakatan.
4) Murder is not an impotant crime. Just how slow they delay Teoh's case and not forgetting Altantuya's case.
5) Racist is UMNO is acceptable but not others. Look take a look at how UMNO react to BTN.
6) UMNO is racist party and there fore it is acceptable. Well, this was said by their beloved former president for 22 years.
7) Security is less important as all those who own houses can afford to hire security guard to take care of security.
1Malaysia is just a word, don't take too seriously
