Umno veteran leader Tan Sri Sanusi Junid says MCA is afraid of Datuk Jamal
Md Yunos , the frontman of the red shirt rally, as the latter has become an
Umno warrior. He says Jamal became popular not because of his contributionsbut
because he organised the red shirt rally and gained popularity when DAP leaders
slammed him for it.
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3, 2015:
Malaysia is finally a champion at
something — corruption — taking over the spot from
Indonesia, said Umno veteran leader Tan Sri Sanusi Junid in jest.
“The Indonesians are crying
because they have lost to us, but not in badminton.
“It is because we now win in the
category of corruption, becoming more corrupt than them as we are among the top
10 most corrupt countries,” said the former minister and Kedah Menteri Besar,
who was speaking at a hi-tea organised by Pusat Bandar Taman Cempaka Umno
branch today.
The event, which was held in
DePalma hotel in Ampang, also saw former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad attending.
Sanusi, known for injecting
humour into his speeches, while speaking on the level of corruption in Malaysia,
warned the Malays that unless the situation was rectified, the
community would become “bangsat” (despicable) and as a result, Umno
would lose in the next general election.
He then turned his attention to
the Sept 16 red shirt rally, touching on Umno’s Datuk Jamal Md Yunos’
statement on the Chinese having an option to return to China should something
happen to them.
Jamal, who is the Sungai Besar
division chief, had a few days ago also said the Malays only had Malaysia.
Sanusi then said that MCA leaders
were now afraid to reprimand Jamal as he is a “pendekar Umno” (Umno
warrior).
“Jamal became popular not because
of his contributions, but because he organised the red shirt rally and gained
popularity when DAP leaders slammed him for it.
“Jamal’s supporters talked about
having a red shirt rally in Kajang, but the Umno secretary-general, who joined
Jamal on Sept 16, didn’t support it,” he said alluding to Datuk Seri Tengku
Adnan Tengku Mansor.
“When Umno doesn’t agree, the red
rally did not take place. So when it does, who agreed?” he asked. The crowd
replied: “Umno.”
The red shirt rally, which was
also known as Himpunan Kebangkitan Rakyat and Himpunan Maruah
Melayu, was organised to counter the Aug 29-30 Bersih 4 rally.
Many detractors of the red shirt
rally had taken issue with the racial slant the gathering adopted, which
saw slurs directed at non-Malays.
