A summary of the controversy surrounding Bukit Bendera UMNO division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail:
Datuk Ahmad Ismail: The journalist started it! My "Chinese squatters" comment was referring to pre-Merdeka times and the journalist interpreted it wrongly.Journalist: I stand by what I said. He's wrong!Datuk Ahmad: Am not!Journalist: Are too!Datuk Ahmad: Am not!Pak Lah: Stop it!Datuk Ahmad: Gerakan should be kicked out of the BN! Tear up his (Gerakan acting prez Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon) picture!
Grow up, people. This is embarassing.
September 10th update:
My favourite line in the newspaper today:
He [Datuk Ahmad Ismail] said the explained to Abdullah that his controversial speech in Permatang Pauh was supposed to be confined to a Malay audience.
And I suppose that makes it all better. Last I checked, UMNO was still part of Barisan National, a multi-racial party. Why oh why does everything in this country have to be race-based?
