No shortage of UMNO buffoons in this country

Another UMNO MP using racist remarks to gain popularity

Racism reared its ugly head at the Penang legislative assembly sitting when opposition leader Datuk Azhar Ibrahim (BN-Penaga) threatened a repeat of the May 13 riots and accused Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng of being anti-Malay and anti-Muslim.

Azhar said if the Malays were unhappy with the state government's administration, May 13 could recur, adding if the state government had lost confidence in the police, the army should take over and invoke martial law.

He also mentioned "tiga line" which is a Malay triad organisation in a veiled threat against the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government, insinuating that the triad group would not hesitate to wage war against the state government.

His actions resulted in an emergency motion being moved to refer him to the Rights and Privileges Committee and the state government also lodged a police report against Azhar for his utterances.

At one point, Azhar even slammed the table repeatedly while debating with Lim on the chief minister's motion of thanks to Tuan Yang Dipertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas' speech.

When Lim asked why he was slamming the table, Azhar said: "you are lucky I am not hitting you".

JR: I guess when you run out of issues you can always act like a gangster in UMNO. Typical UMNO racist mentality! We are so GLAD Penang is not ruled by UMNO!!
