Full of class Ibrahim Ali calls MCA a "bloody fool party". "Basket!"

Full of class Ibrahim Ali calls MCA a "bloody fool party". "Basket!"

As usual, Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali blamed all and sundry for the avalanche of objections raised against his self-proposed and sponsored Ibrahin Ali Leadership Award for selected UiTM students, but reserved the crudest remarks such as "stupid and bloody fool party" for the MCA.

“What is MCA Youth secretary-general Chai Kim Sen's right to oppose? Who is he? What has this got anything to do with MCA? UiTM is for Malay and bumiputera students. So what? I don't care," Ibrahim told the Internet protocol television (IPTV) station e-TV program.

"Who cares? Where is the so-called human rights? Where is the democracy they are talking about? Democracy only for them? Human rights only for them? Basket! Put it on air, I don't care, I don't even lose one sen."

No votes for you, MCA

Trying to explain the fine line between language befittting a Member of Parliament, of which Ibrahim is one, and a sheer lack of finesse usually exhibited by the uncouth is perhaps too arduous a task.

Moreover, the 60-year Ibrahim may have motives other than anger to direct at the MCA, which is known to be UMNO's whipping boy.

Although the Pasir Mas MP denies it, most people believe he acts on behalf of UMNO, the ruling party and BN boss. Perkasa patron is Mahathir Mohamad, the former prime minister and ex-UMNO president. Most of Perkasa's members come from the right-wing section of the Malay nationalist party.

Indeed, Ibrahim made sure to hammer once again into MCA's consciousness that it could only win in 'mixed' constituencies and due to Malay support for UMNO, and not the Chinese community.

"If these members don't vote for MCA, what will happen?... I think it is a bloody fool party, stupid and bloody fool. So is it wrong? They all want to disturb, even the internal affairs of others, shameful lah, really, they are basket!” said the Malay-rights rabble-rouser known for his sledgehammer mouth.

Trying to shed his Clown image

Ibrahim had intended to gift his alma mater with the award so as to motivate young Malays to share his self-professed passion for the community. The award is meant to commend students with proven record of having “clear and consistent” principles in upholding their ethnicity. UiTM's student body is mostly Malay.

Ibrahim's critics also say he saw the Award as a way to overcome his own bad image and regain some credibility as a serious leader. It is not an exaggeration to say that most Malaysians see Ibrahim as a first-class Clown.

Nonetheless, in his venom against the hapless MCA, Ibrahim revealed the precise reasons why the greater objections to the Award had actually come from the Malay community itself, rather than the Chinese.

Malay leaders - old and young - raised a stink after news broke that UiTM had called for nominations. The strength of the objections and the insulting nature of many of the comments have embarrassed Ibrahim deeply, unceremoniously knocking him off his self-imagined hero's perch.

"The comments were clear. The Malays themselves call him a disgrace to his face. The UiTM management is having second thoughts because the reaction was so strong. If they decide to cancel the award, how malu (or shameful) for Ibrahim. So as usual, our friend must politicise the issue. He must find a place to throw the blame, so of course, the Chinese lah," PAS leader Hatta Ramli told Malaysia Chronicle.

No class

This was the crux of the objections against allowing Ibrahim to be endowed with such an honour, even though he is paying the RM5,000 annual cash prize from his own pocket.

Many Malays have said his behaviour, attitude and sheer bad-heartedness should be never be emulated or be aspired to by the young, unless the Malays wanted their own children to self-destruct.

However, Ibrahim explained away the protest from his own community as "jealousy".

He cited his "clean" record of activism over the past 30 years as justification for such an honour, which is likely to be rejected by the UiTM management when it meets to make the final decision on Friday.

“Because I'm too active, organising things sometimes in a big way, there are people who are jealous of me. Just for nothing, they are jealous of me. What the hell are these people talking about? The award is from me. I donate my own money just to give to any student who is credible, so what?" said Ibrahim.

“If they are not happy, they create their own award lah. Because this is all jealousy. You see, all these came from PAS and the opposition and they are shameful, have no class."

A victim of jealousy

Ibrahim also claimed a chaste background of never having been involved in any corruption or sex scandal. Yet, few politicians hold much respect for the dimunitive leader, who only climbed out of obscurity last year due to the controversy over the Allah issue.

Ibrahim has a chequered past and apart from his noisy speech is most famous for his party-hopping ways. He has been sacked from UMNO previously and even contested under the PAS banner for his current term as MP. He soon dumped PAS and is now an Independent in Parliament. Many in the political arena have given the nickname 'katak'or frog to poke fun at his quickness to switch allegiance.

But of course, Ibrahim doesn't see it that way. As far as he is concerned, it is him who is popular and the others who are "jealous" - another of his favourite terms to describe those who cross swords with him.

“When I was in Umno, when I cooperated with PAS, anywhere I go, not only those from opposition parties, even Umno friends are also jealous of me. I don't want to be popular, but it became that way so I become a victim of jealousy,” Ibrahim said.
