Malaysiakini : To say that instant noodles are just as good as uncooked noodles is factually wrong,ā said Ramasamy in a statement today.He reminded the PAS leader that the Harapan government was democratically elected with a mandate from the people.
āIt
was usurped and undermined by Bersatu, PAS, Umno and others. The
present government is an illegal backdoor government, and PAS is among
the parties that gained power this way.
āHadi was one of the prime
architects of the collapse of the Harapan government, but by twisting
facts, he cannot whitewash the PN government. Without realising, he has
of late emerged as the most racist and bigoted political leader,ā he
added.
Ramasamy alluded to the Marang MPās previous statement in which he
attempted to pin the blame for corruption in Malaysia on non-Muslims and
non-Malays.
āBlaming the non-Malays as the source of corruption was another instance of Hadiās utter political nonsense.
āHadi
might have lost his sense of purpose and political balance, and perhaps
a time has arrived that he could be termed as a comedian. He might be
as good as a court jester,ā he said.
Deafening silence
Meanwhile,
DAP chairperson Lim Guan Eng asked how Prime Minister Ismail Sabri
Yaakobās Keluarga Malaysia could mean anything when Hadi, as special
envoy to the Middle East with ministerial status, is allowed to escape
unpunished for insulting non-Muslims and non-bumiputeras as being the
roots for corruption in Malaysia?
āNot just the
cabinet, but no single minister, including the prime minister, has
upheld Keluarga Malaysia by repudiating Hadi for his baseless, divisive,
racist, and extremist branding of non-Muslims and non-bumiputeras.
āA
multitude of police reports have already been lodged throughout the
country against Hadi seeking stern action for his inflammatory and
unsubstantiated remarks that has angered many Malaysians, particularly
non-Muslims and non-bumiputeras.
āWhen will the police act?ā asked Lim.
He said that minority cabinet members have disappointed many with their deafening silence.
āBy
not daring to get the cabinet to take the correct principled stand
against Hadiās hate speech, these ministers from MCA, MIC, GPS (Gabungan
Parti Sarawak), and GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah) are condoning,
emboldening, and legitimatising Hadiās hostility and hatred against
non-bumiputeras and non-Muslims.
āPreviously, Hadi
had stated that non-Muslims have no right to take up important
ministerial posts in the cabinet such as the finance minister. And yet
MCA, MIC, GPS, and GRS continue to work with and support PAS and their
ministers in the federal government.
āThe non-Muslim
ministersā continued silence makes them equally responsible for the
racism and extremism by PAS, particularly when PAS has now gone further
in wanting to ban concerts, Oktoberfest and Bon Odori,ā added Lim.
