MCA slams DAP’s ‘Superman’ for playing racial card

Ti Lian Ker responds to video of Hew Kuan Yau urging Sarawak Chinese voters to vote for DAP’s Abdul Aziz Isa so that the latter can ‘screw the Malays’.

(FMT) – MCA’s Ti Lian Ker has slammed DAP’s “Superman” Hew Kuan Yau for playing the racial card in the run-up to the Sarawak state election.

Ti was commenting on a video where Hew is shown urging Chinese voters in Batu Kitang to back DAP’s candidate Abdul Aziz Isa, so that the latter can “screw the Malays” himself, and “screw the corrupt Malay officials” when he makes it to the state assembly.

Abdul Aziz lost the seat to BN’s Lo Khere Chiang.

The speech, which Hew had done through Skype for Sarawak Chinese voters, was done in Chinese but had Malay subtitles. It was first uploaded on Raja Petra Kamarudin’s blog.

In his statement today, MCA central committee member Ti said that DAP has failed as a multi-racial party, but has been getting away with it “because of emotions and chauvinism.”

“It is unfortunate that DAP have been habitually harping on racial and religious sentiments throughout the years. They (DAP) are just a multi-racial party in name, but stoking racism in most of their speeches particularly when speaking in Chinese to a Chinese crowd,” said Ti.

Ti said DAP was “rotting” with arrogance and its true colours are now showing.

“They cannot work with PAS and now they are picking on PKR. The fact is they are getting arrogant and intolerant of others despite their claim of multi-racialism.”

Speaking to Malaysiakini, Hew claimed that the video had been “twisted”.

Popularly known as Superman for his penchant of wearing shirts with the superhero’s logo, Hew is a DAP grassroots leader who is no stranger to controversy.

Earlier this year, he got into trouble after attacking a gay activist and columnist on social media and was eventually forced to apologise.
