People may eventually reject both BN and Pakatan

(The Star) BENTONG: The people may eventually reject both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat because they are getting fed-up with the political catastrophe in Perak, said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein yesterday.

He said the people’s feelings and unhappiness was more apparent following the change in the rightful Perak Mentri Besar within hours.

“It is as if we have nothing to do. In the end, the public will reject both sides,” he told reporters after launching the Puteri Umno retreat programme at Bukit Tinggi yesterday.

Hishammuddin said he was made to understand that ceramah on the Perak issue were being held with people holding banners that could incite anger and hatred among the people.

On another issue, Hishammuddin who is Home Minister, said Hindraf leader P. Uthayakumar could talk to him if he felt that his movement was restricted following his release from the Internal Security Act.

“I am not an unreasonble man, but he shouldn’t use his detention and release as a political platform to sow seeds of discontent and to get political mileage.

“There are ways and means for him to speak to us and I’m sure we can consider his case,” he added.
