MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek said DAP's M Manoharan was "politically retarded" for the latter's criticism against national shuttler Lee Chong Wei's Olympic performance.
In his speech today at an event to honour Lee and fellow Olympic medallist Pandelela Rinong Pamg, Chua said Manoharan was undoing attempts to unite Malaysia.
"If politicians fail to unite all Malaysians, at least both of you have helped to unite all Malaysians I the spirit of 1Malaysia," he said of Lee and Pandelela, who bagged a silver for badminton and bronze for diving respectively.
Without naming Manoharan, Chua said the former had spoiled the heroic efforts displayed by the Olympic duo.
"I have not forgotten one politically retarded politician who tweeted rubishing the achievement of Lee - which is rather unfortunate - and sang praises for his opponent from China.
"After that he apologised. I felt it was meaningless for him to apologise," said Chua, during the event in Petaling Jaya.
