Zahid: Peniaga Cina tak kenang budi, betul tak(Chinese who vote DAP 'ingrates')...

Naib Presiden Umno hari ini menyuarakan perasaan kesalnya terhadap masyarakat Cina, terutamanya yang terlibat dalam perniagaan, memilih DAP dalam pilihan raya apabila sudah berjaya.

“Kalau sekali lagi orang Teluk Intan memilih DAP, saya sedih. Orang Melayu sedih, orang India lagi sedih, Cina tak apalah, dia berniaga macam-macam.

“Tetapi kalau tak ada org Melayu dan orang India tolong, beli barang dia, dia pun tak boleh berniaga. Betul tak ? Orang Melayu dan India tolong peniaga-peniaga Cina, betul tak?

“Dia dah senang, dia pun pilih DAP. Tak kenang budi, betul tak ?” soalnya sambil disambut laungan “betul” oleh hadirin.

Zahid berkata demikian dalam perjumpaan dengan ketua-ketua masyarakat di Kampung Durian Sebatang in Teluk Intan.

Beliau juga menyeru semua pihak, tidak kira Melayu, Cina dan India, memajukan daerah hilir Perak itu dengan memilih calon BN supaya semua kaum tiada masalah.

“Betul saya Melayu, tetapi (tidak kira) Melayu, Cini, India, kita berada dalam keluarga besar, satu Malaysia,” katanya lagi.

Chinese voters, especially those with successful businesses, who choose DAP are "ingrates", said Umno vice president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

According to the Home Minister, this is because they are abandoning Malays and Indians who contributed to their wealth.

"I will be sad if the people of Teluk Intan choose DAP again. The Malays will be sad, and Indians even sadder.

"It is fine for the Chinese as they are traders, but what will happen if the Malays and Indians do not support the Chinese traders by not buying their goods. They can't survive either.

"So the Malays and Indians support the Chinese traders... They become successful, and vote for DAP. They are ingrates, right?" he said, posing a rhetorical question to the audience.

The audience, made up of community leaders at Kampung Durian Sebatang in Teluk Intan, answered in the affirmative.

Ahmad Zahid (above) said that by voting for the DAP, these wealthy Chinese traders are turning their backs on Malays and Indians who now need help .

He did not elaborate on how the Chinese voting for the DAP would mean that Malays and Indians would not get the help they need.

However, he said that under BN co-operation model, all races work together to develop the region to benefit all.

"Today Malays, Indian and Chinese unite and develop the northern Perak region by choosing BN candidate Mah Siew Keong...

"Yes, I am Malay but Malays, Chinese and Indians are all part of a big family, 1Malaysia," he said.- mk

Shahrizat: BN tak minat politik perkauman(Shahrizat: BN doesn't play racial politics)...

Pengerusi Wanita BN Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil berkata, BN tidak berminat dengan politik kotor termasuk politik berunsur perkauman sebaliknya memberi tumpuan kepada kempen membantu rakyat.

Katanya, kempen sebegitu tidak akan ke mana dan apa yang penting segala yang diungkapkan perlu disusuli dengan tindakan demi mengutamakan kepentingan masyarakat setempat, lapor Umno Online.

“Apa yang kita cakap kita buat, kita tidak banyak main politik khususnya yang berunsur perkauman dan lain-lain atau macam-macam taktik. Kita tidak minat.

“Kita ikhlas untuk bantu rakyat dan ingin melihat negara stabil. Kita tidak main politik kotor dengan pergi dekat kaum Melayu cakap begini, kaum India cakap begitu, Cina pula begini dan lain-lain lagi.

“Politik apa macam itu? Saya tidak setuju dengan politik sebegitu,” beliau dipetik sebagai berkata di Teluk Intan hari ini.

Shahrizat juga dilapor mengingatkan mana-mana pihak agar tidak menuding jari kepada BN apabila timbul sesuatu isu sepanjang kempen pilihan raya kecil kawasan itu.

“Janganlah semua nak tuding dan salahkan Umno. Kena ingat, kadangkala musuh dalam selimut lagi bahaya daripada musuh lain.

“Jadi janganlah nak selalu sangat kata Umno buat. Kita tidak minat pun,” beliau dipetik sebagai berkata oleh media Umno itu.

It appears that Shahrizat Abdul Jalil and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi have contradicting views on BN's campaign tactics for the Teluk Intan by-election.

While the Wanita BN chief claimed that BN does not exploit racial politics, the home minister, however, described the Chinese who vote for DAP as ingrates.

"We don't play dirty politics whereby we go to the Malays and say this, go to the Indians and say that; and tell the Chinese something else.

"What kind of politics is this? I don't agree with this kind of politics," Shahrizat was quoted as saying by Umno Online today.

On the other hand, Zahid, when speaking at a Malay village in Teluk Intan this evening, said that the Chinese earned their wealth with the help of Malays and Indians.

"So the Malays and Indians support the Chinese traders... They become successful and vote for DAP. They are ingrates, right?" he had asked the villagers of Kampung Durian Sebatang.

However, Sharizat, who is also Wanita Umno chief, claimed that BN is more interested in running a sincere campaign, which focuses on helping the people.

"The Wanita machinery is going well and our campaign is sincere. What we say, we do. And we don't play politics of race or other sort of (dirty) tactics. We are not interested," she added.

Stating that racial politics would not go far, Shahrizat said the Wanita wings are sincere in wanting to help the people and see this nation remain stable.

Meanwhile, the Wanita Umno chief also reminded all quarters not to point fingers at Umno whenever an issue crops up during the by-election campaign.

"Don't point fingers and blame Umno. We have to remember, sometimes the enemy within is greater than the enemy outside," he added.- mk
