KUALA LUMPUR, WED:
The use of the words "Pemuda Umno Celaka" (Damn Umno Youth) by Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor) caused a major uproar in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Karpal, who is also DAP chairman, at first had taken to task the over 100 police reports lodged against him for stating that he would sue the Sultan of Perak following the political crisis in Perak.
Debating the motion of thanks for the Royal address, he then went on to say:" This might be a world record. Two bullets, Mr. Speaker. Under Section 57of the Internal Security Act, if a person is in possession of even a single bullet and is found guilty, he or she is liable to face the death penalty. I want to know where this "Umno Youth celaka" got two bullets."
This drew the ire of Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi (BN-Batu Pahat) and Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan (BN-Kota Belud) who immediately got up and demanded Karpal withdrew the unsuitable word.
"Pemuda Umno celaka. Don''t disturb me," Karpal continued causing the Dewan to descend into chaos and Deputy Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar reprimanding Karpal not to use the words again.
Karpal, however, ignored it and repeated the words but retracted them after Wan Junaidi directed him not to do so.
In his parting shot, he gave Umno Youth a warning saying," Don't mess around with me. Singh is King," echoing the title of a recently released Bollywood movie.
On his recent criticisms of Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, he said he accepted Anwar as the head of the opposition coalition and any misunderstanding between them was "none of the Barisan Nasional's business".
He also asked the chief of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to withdraw his remarks about an alleged corruption case involving Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
He cited Section 58 of the MACC Act which stipulated that "no prosecution shall be prosecuted except from the consent of public prosecutor".
