It appears that Khairy Jamaluddin had lied about the UMNO Youth Facebook page. Khairy had even lodged a police report, claiming that the person who put up the poster with the controversial remarks was “unauthorised” to do so and that the page was not the youth wing’s official Facebook page.
The administrator of the page had posted an apology on the page. But irreparable damage had been inflicted and UMNO/BN are set to lose more middle ground votes that they could ever imagine.
“Kami minta maaf secara terbuka kepada semua rakyat atas kesilapan mengeluarkan gambar yang tidak patut pada 17/18 Aug 2012. Admin itu sudah dikeluarkan dari fanpage,” the page’s administrators wrote in a posting late last night, just hours after Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin told the media that he was closing in on the culprit behind the poster.
Ultra-fast exemption!
The police is quick to say that the newly enforced Section 114A of the Evidence Act will not be used against UMNO Youth in this case.
If nothing is being done to haul up the culprit, the federal government is going to face more credibility issue. It is clear cut that BN/UMNO is immune to prosecution. No wonder unscrupulous UMNO linked bloggers are even used in advertisements promoting the party.
It is not enough for the administrator of UMNO Youth Facebook page to apologize alone. Khairy Jamaluddin must tender his sincere apology for trying to dupe us that UMNO Youth was not at fault in this senseless propaganda which screams religious bigotry!
This is another reason why a major overhaul is needed in Malaysian politics
