Perak MCA - Detain KJ under ISA !

KUALA LUMPUR: A Perak MCA Youth delegate who had called for Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin to be detained under the Internal Security Act for making racist statements is sticking to his guns.

Barisan Nasional leaders were among those who attended the MCA general assembly.

Ting Tai Fook said he was only voicing what people had been saying about Khairy.

"Am I afraid he will take action against me, seeing how well-connected he is?

"I think he doesn't have a case against me, since what I said is nothing new," he said.

Ting also believed MCA Youth would back him up.
At the MCA Youth assembly on Friday, Ting called Khairy a "political loser" who should be booked under the ISA.

He also wanted former Umno Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail to be held under the same act for describing Malaysian Chinese as pendatang (squatters).

He expressed disappointment with the detentions of Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng and Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, whom he claimed had done nothing offensive.

"However, people like Khairy and Ahmad can talk all they want and no action was taken against them.

"If we want to use the ISA, let's use it against these people first. Lock them up for two years, let them think through everything they say so they can realise how nonsensical and narrow-minded they are."



Ting said he was opposed to the ISA, which "should be thoroughly reviewed and measures put into place to avoid any abuse".

He said it was incomprehensible for Khairy to question the ratio of government scholarships for Bumiputeras and non-Bumiputeras.

"Already our gifted students are being turned away from many public universities. So, how could he question the scholarship quota?"

Ting said he believed Khairy would lose the race for the Umno Youth chief post at the party's elections in March.

"I believe this irresponsible leader will su dao tuo ku (be badly defeated) at the Umno elections.

"That will be the ultimate embarrassment for him, to see that he is rejected even by his own people.

"After that, may we never hear from such a political loser again." (NST)
