Members of Malay Sons of Penang Association hold a protest after Friday prayers against Jeff Ooi and Tony Pua.
GEORGE TOWN: A Malay NGO plans to present DAP parliamentarians Jeff Ooi and Tony Pua a stray cat and dog each as tit-for-tat for their recent damning remarks against civil servants.
Malay Sons of Penang Association president Jahangir Abdul Sukkur also called on other Malaysians to do the same to both the DAP elected representatives.
“We will make an appointment to meet the MPs and present the animals as gifts to them.
“We want to show them how stray cats and dogs look like,” he told newsmen after leading a brief post-Friday prayers demonstration against the MPs Jeff Ooi of Jelutong and Tony Pua of Petaling Jaya Utara outside Masjid Melayu Jamek Lebuh Acheh here today.
A association committee member Wan Shahriwal Salim told the crowd Chief Minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng’s deafening silence on the issue confirmed that the DAP was a “racist, anti-Malay and anti-Islam” party.
Some 30 association members took part in the high noon demonstration.
The demonstrators also held up anti-Jeff Ooi, anti-Tony Pua and anti-DAP banners, streamers and placards to express their displeasure and anger against the parliamentarians.
They also chanted ”Allahu-Akbar’ several times.
Last week, Ooi courted controversy when he described low-ranking municipal council officers as “kucing kurap” (stray cats).
Previously Pua described the officers of Registrar of Societies (ROS) as Umno’s running dogs, which Jahangir claimed was equivalent to “anjing kurap” (stray dogs).
Remarks by both Ooi and Pua drew flaks from various parties, including from DAP.
A check during on-going Penang assembly sitting revealed many Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers, and civil servants were upset with Ooi’s remarks.
“He is a parliamentarian but he blatantly uses an un-parliamentary word,” said a Pakatan legislator, while his colleague slammed Ooi as being “arrogant and mulut celupar (trouble shooting mouth)”.
A civil servant summed up general feelings among his colleagues when he said: “Just because he is an elected rep does not mean he can use any words he like. Kucing kurap is strong word. We are also humans, we also have feelings.”
