Veteran Umno arah anggota boikot AirAsia, AirAsia X...
Persatuan Veteran Umno mengeluarkan arahan kepada anggotanya supaya memboikot perkhidmatan penerbangan tambang murah AirAsia dan AirAsia X berikut kenyataan seorang pegawai tinggi syarikat AirAsia X yang didakwa mencerca akhbar milik Umno, Utusan Malaysia.
Laporan edisi hujung minggu akhbar tersebut hari ini memetik kenyataan setiausaha Veteran Umno Datuk Mustapha Yaakub yang mahu anggota persatuan tersebut menunjukkan reaksi balas itu atas sikap yang ditunjukkan ketua pegawai eksekutif AirAsia X Azran Osman-Rani.
Tindakan itu juga ekoran kegagalan AirAsia X memecat Azran dari jawatan tersebut, kata Mustapha yang menganggap dakwaan cercaan ke atas Utusan itu sebagai penghinaan ke atas kaum Melayu.
"Kenyataan Azran benar-benar menghina Melayu. Oleh kerana AirAsia X tidak mahu menghukumnya, maka veteran UMNO akan menghukum AirAsia X dan AirAsia dengan memboikot kedua-dua syarikat ini.
"Bagi kami Azran adalah lambang Melayu yang lupa identiti bangsanya. Inilah Melayu yang dikatakan kacang lupakan kulit. Individu seperti inilah yang menjadikan Melayu hilang identiti malah sanggup menggadai maruah bangsa sendiri," katanya.
Menurut Utusan, Azran dalam tulisannya di Facebook menulis: "I am Malaysian. I am anti-racism. I am disgusted by Utusan's editorial stance. (Saya rakyat Malaysia. Saya antiperkauman. Saya meluat dengan pendirian pengarang Utusan),"
Azran juga mengumumkan untuk menarikh balik iklan AirAsia, di Utusan Malaysia dan menyebut: "Utusan sudah lama tidak relevan. Jumlah pembaca merosot kerana minda pengarang sempit. Utusan tidak mewakili Melayu Malaysia."
AirAsia merupakan antara pembeli ruang iklan utama di media Malaysia.-malaysiakini
Awat!!! UMNO nak lembukan pegawai2 Air Asia, supaya mudah tarik hidung? Sorry, itu tahun 1960'an,zaman hampa dulu...
Umno vets calls for AirAsia boycott...
A group of Umno veteran members have reportedly called for its party members to boycott the budget airlines AirAsia and AirAsiaX.
This follows AirAsiaX CEO Azran Osman Rani’s outburst against Utusan Malaysia over its allegedly racist headline two weeks ago ‘Apa lagi Cina mahu?’ (What more do the Chinese want?)
The group’s secretary Mustapha Yaakub reportedly claimed yesterday that Azran’s admonishment of Utusan was tantamount to belittling his own (Malay) race at a time when Malays are under pressure from many parties.
“Azran’s statement is really disparaging to the Malays. Since AirAsiaX would not punish him, then Umno veterans will do so by boycotting AirAsia and AirAsiaX.
“To us, Azran is the poster-boy of a Malay who has forgotten his race. This is the Malay that is said to be an ingrate.
“It is individuals like this who cause the Malays to lose their identity to the extent of being willing to pawn the dignity of their race,” Mingguan Malaysia - the Sunday edition of Utusan - quoted Mustapha saying today.
Utusan to boycott AirAsia ads
Azran has been slammed by various Malay and Muslim right-wing groups since he openly expressed disgust over Utusan’s controversial headline, including calls for him to be sacked.
He has since said that his statement was ‘blown out of proportion’.
Meanwhile, Mingguan Malaysia columnist Awang Selamat said Utusan will shun any advertisements from AirAsia until Azran apologises.
"Without Air Asia, Awang Selamat will not have any problem. Furthermore, the value of the advertisement given is very small, lower than advertisements for herbal and hair treatment," said the writer, who always refers to himself in third person.
Awang Selamat is understood to be a pseudonym for Utusan editors.-malaysiakini
