Puteri Umno raps Abdul Hadi for calling MCA, MIC racist

Its chief, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin, said Abdul Hadi's statement reflected his narrow-minded and fondness for political slander.

"His statement proved that opposition leaders in the country are fond of spreading lies even though they are aware that it is wrong and sinful.

"It is very disappointing because while BN component parties are doing their level best for the people, the opposition are working hard to twist the facts," she said.

Rosnah was commenting on Abdul Hadi's speech at an opposition-organised gathering in Seremban last night in which he allegedly described MCA and MIC as racist because their memberships consisted of just one race, while the opposition parties, including the DAP, were multi-racial.

Rosnah also reminded the people not to be influenced by the opposition's claims without considering the efforts done by the government in their interest.

"We must not destroy the unity we enjoy today. To destroy it is so easy, but to build it takes a very long time," she said.

She also stressed that the opposition had no qualms about letting the country plunge into chaos and using slanderous politics to pursue their dreams to be in power.
