BENTONG MELEE: First Adnan offers to cut off his ear, now MCA MPs to auction off their 'penises'?

After the pledge by Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob to cut off his ear if DAP wins in Bentong at the coming general election, another member of the human anatomy took centre stage in the MCA-held constituency last night.

Only this time, it was the cause of a brief melee when MCA supporters swarmed several DAP leaders doing their walkabout in Bentong, set to be one of the most hotly contested parliamentary seats between DAP and MCA.

The DAP walkabout in Kampung Manchis, which included Pahang DAP chairman Leong Ngah Ngah and Anthony Loke, the DAP Youth chief, was briefly halted when several MCA activists confronted them to demand Loke's explanation over issues in Rasah, Negeri Sembilan, where he is the member of parliament.

Trouble started when a MCA member got physical by pulling Leong's shirt, sparking reactions from other DAP members.

Queried later by news portal Malaysiakini, Kampung Manchis village head and MCA supporter Lee Ah Kaw said he was angry over a DAP speaker's remark during a recent ceramah there to auction off penises of the Chinese-only party's 15 MPs after placing them in a glass.

"BN has been in power for decades and has never threatened to auction off (penises).

"This is what I wanted to tell Leong. I wanted his response to this," Ah Kaw was quoted by the portal as saying.

Ah Kaw was recently in the news complaining that organisers at a DAP dinner had 'bowed to PAS' for stopping a female singer's sexy performance at the event.

“How do you expect us to place our trust in DAP for the wellbeing of the Chinese?” he had asked.

But Leong told Harakahdaily that the performance had to be stopped as it had taken too much time at the cost of other performers and programmes lined up for the event.

Leong also urged Ah Kaw to resign as village head, saying he had only caused disunity among residents.

In recent times, MCA has been battling PAS and Islamic values, hoping to regain support from Chinese voters who largely abandoned the BN party at the 2008 general election.

Pahang is seen as a frontline state as Pakatan Rakyat steps up its campaign in the wake of several controversies, including the state government's support for the Lynas rare-earth refinery in Gebeng.
