MCA president Wee Ka Siong has suggested that DAP should end its cooperation with partners and exit the government if it genuinely despises crooks.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, he responded to comments by Tony Pua, DAP’s disciplinary committee chairman.
Wee questioned why DAP continues partnering with those Pua labels as “crook lovers” if the disdain is real.
Pua’s Post on Najib Verdict
Following Monday’s court ruling on Najib Razak’s failed house arrest bid, Pua posted that he and DAP are proud of contributing to the downfall of a “kleptocrat”.
He stated there is no need to sympathise with such a person.
Pua added that those urging humanity while supporting the individual are free to do so, but should not prevent others from celebrating justice upheld, and looked forward to another conviction later this week.
Chong Sin Woon Criticises Yeo Bee Yin
MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon has rebuked DAP national publicity secretary Yeo Bee Yin for her social media post on Najib’s house arrest case verdict.
Yesterday, the High Court dismissed Najib’s judicial review attempt to serve the remainder of his jail term in the RM42 million SRC International case under house arrest.
Chong described her remarks as showing incivility, uncouthness, and a lack of empathy among DAP leaders.
Call for Political Maturity
Chong stressed that, despite political differences, one should not rejoice in another’s difficulties.
It is ethical to avoid celebrating others’ hardships, he said.
He questioned how long it will take for politicians to mature and stop actions that stir controversy and divide society.
The comments from DAP leaders have provoked responses from their government partners.
