MB’s aide explains why Umno is crass
By Patrick Lee, FMT
PETALING JAYA: The Selangor Menteri Besar’s office today launched a blistering attack against Umno members objecting to a plan to build hostels for foreign workers.
Faekah Husin, the Menteri Besar’s political secretary, said Umno’s “gutter politics” was the result of ignorance and a “low class” mentality.
She was reacting to statements made on Wednesday during a protest against the plan. The demonstrators represented Umno Youth and MCA.
Umno Youth’s Arman Azha Abu Hanifah, who was among the protesters, said Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim had “prostituted himself” in deciding to set aside land in Petaling Jaya for foreigners when Malaysians were having a hard time finding affordable accommodation in the city.
Faekah said Umno members had shown once again that “the party revels in dirty, gutter politics while being completely ignorant of the true issues”.
