He said that the remark was merely a response to Yuki Tan, the wife of Tanjong MP Ng Wei Aik (left), because she had earlier criticised Malaysia.Mohd Razlan told Malaysiakini that he did not know if the word "Tongsan" means anything significant.
"Does the term even exist?" he asked.
"Firstly, I feel the term is just a normal word. Like Chinese are fighting and one person asks the other to go back to the village (balik kampung)," he said.
"’Balik tongsan’ means leave the country. She needs to respect the country and the law of the country where she stays," he said when contacted.
DAP's Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming today demanded that disciplinary action be taken against Razlan (below in songkok) for making that remark in a tweet directed to Tan.
His
tweet was in response to Tan's status on the networking site, where she
wrote "Malaysia is a scary country, what useless country is this?"
following the MH17 tragedy which claimed 298 lives.Tan has since deleted her post and apologised after it triggered widespread criticism in the social media.
"If this is an useless country, why still stay here? The Chinese who are really from Malaysia who not feel offended, except if they are still 50-50," he further said.
He also criticised Ong for asking for disciplinary action against him.
"Ong Kian Ming knows what I meant but it's normal. What action? Maybe he wants to form a disciplinary body by himself to punish me," he said.
"He intends to implicate me. His politics is different, mine is different," he added.
