Isma attacks MCA for disagreeing with Ismail Sabri’s call to boycott Chinese traders who refuse to lower their prices.

BANGI: Malay voters were urged today to reject MCA leaders if their party continued to only champion the rights of the Chinese as this proved the coalition partner of Barisan Nasional was racist.
”MCA is willing to cooperate with DAP regarding issues involving the Chinese.
“This means MCA is fighting for only the Chinese, not all Malaysians.
“This proves MCA is racist,” said Haji Aminuddin Yahaya, the deputy president of ISMA in a posting on the NGO’s website today.
He was referring to a retaliatory statement by MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon against Ismail Sabri, the minister of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, who called on Malay consumers to boycott profiteering Chinese traders who refused to lower the prices of their goods.
In his statement, Chong had called Ismail a racist and accused him of acting contrary to the spirit of the Federal Constitution, a view that was shared by DAP leader, Ong Kian Ming who said Ismail’s remarks would divide society along racial lines.
In expressing his dissatisfaction over Chong’s remarks, Haji Aminuddin said Ismail’s suggestion would in fact benefit all consumers and not just the Malays.
He was also of the opinion that Chong’s remarks were made without a clear understanding of the essence nor the context of Ismail’s statement because it was addressed not only to Chinese traders, but to all who showed reluctance in lowering their prices.
“If MCA supports traders who hike up the prices of their goods, it clearly shows they are on the side of Chinese traders who exploit consumers.
“Is this how they fish for Chinese votes?” asked Haji Aminuddin.
