Ketua Wira PERKASA, Irwan Fahmi Ideris berkata pihaknya ingin
bertanya kepada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak apa pula
maksudnya bila BN memberi angpau dalam sampul warna putih di Seri Setia."Masa isu PERKASA (beri angpau dalam sampul putih), PM kata 'semua orang tahu angpau ialah sampul merah'," kata Irwan Fahmi (kanan) dalam satu kenyataan.
"Sekarang angpau BN kenapa warna putih?" tanya beliau dalam satu kenyataan.
Dalam budaya Cina, putih biasanya dikhususnya untuk tujuan berkabung.
Kelmarin, Setiausaha Agung PERKASA, Syed Hasan Syed Ali mempertahankan perkara itu, dengan menyatakan bukan ia sahaja berbuat demikian, tetapi merujuk kepada gambar dalam sebuah akhbar harian yang menunjukkan hadirin menerima sampul putih di majlis Tahun Baru Cina anjuran BN.
Sampul tertera logo Umno-BN
Bagaimanapun, Ketua MCA Bahagian Kelana Jaya Ong Chong Swen menjelaskan bahawa sampul putih yang digunakan oleh Abdul Halim sebenarnya adalah sampul khas yang bercetak dengan logo BN dan Umno. Sampul berkenaan digunakan oleh mereka sepanjang tahun.
Irwan, bagaimanapun tidak berpuas hati dengan penjelasan tersebut.
'Saya juga hairan mengapa pengerusi MCA Kelana Jaya boleh kata isu PERKASA lain, tak boleh samakan angpau yang BN beri.
"Saya hairan mengapa beliau kata lain? Sampul PERKASA putih sampul BN pun putih. Apa yang lain?
"Oh jika warna putih dari BN, bukan maksud untuk kematian? Dari awal PERKASA kata semuanya 'double standard' terhadap PERKASA," tegas Irwan Fahmi.
Perkasa aims ang pow issue dart at Najib
Perkasa has termed Prime Minister Najib
Abdul Razak's comment on the white ang pow issue four days after the
Malay right-wing group committed the mistake during its Chinese New Year open house as being akin to the pot calling the kettle black.
"I
want to ask the prime minister, what is the meaning when BN gives out
white ang pow at Seri Setia this time?," said Perkasa Youth chief Irwan
Fahmi Ideris (right) in a statement last night.
"During Perkasa's issue (of giving out white ang pow), the prime minister said everyone knows that ang pow are meant to be red, now why did BN give out white ang pow?"
In Chinese culture, white is normally reserved for bereavements.
Yesterday, Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hasan Syed Ali defended the Malay rights group's faux pas, stating it was not alone, pointing to a daily's photograph of attendees receiving white envelopes at a BN Chinese New Year event.
Envelopes carry Umno-BN logos
However, MCA Kelana Jaya division chief Ong Chong Swen has clarified that the envelopes carried BN and Umno logos and used throughout the year.
Irwan, however, was dissatisfied with the explanation: "I am curious why the Kelana Jaya MCA chief would say that Perkasa's issue cannot be compared with the ang pow distributed by BN.
"Perkasa's envelope was white, BN's envelope was also white, what is the difference? Oh, if it is white from BN then it is not meant for funerals?
"From the beginning we've said that everyone practices double standards where Perkasa is concerned," he said.
