Karpal: Charge ex-judge with sedition for Malay backlash warning to Chinese


KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 — Karpal Singh urged the police today to cite Datuk Mohd Noor Abdullah for sedition, claiming the former Court of Appeal judge had used provocative language when he warned the Chinese of a Malay backlash for their alleged "betrayal" of Barisan Nasional (BN) in last Sunday's polls.
The DAP chairman said he had been shocked by the remarks made by Mohd Noor, who was reportedly speaking at a forum titled "GE13 post-mortem: Muslim leadership and survival" this afternoon, organised by the UiTM Malaysia Alumni Association and Gabungan Melayu Semenanjung.
"There is no doubt Mohd Noor has used language which is extremely provocative. What he has said amounts to sedition."
"I call upon the police to have the necessary report lodged against Mohd Noor with a view to his being charged for sedition," Karpal (picture) said in a statement here.
In his remarks reported on news portal Malaysiakini today, Mohd Noor had purportedly warned the Chinese to prepare for a backlash from the Malay community for their alleged betrayal to BN at the ballot boxes last week.
According to the portal, the Chinese had "plotted to seize political power", despite the fact that they have already benefited economically from the "Malay's hand of friendship".
"For the Malays, the pantang larang (taboo) is to be betrayed, because when they are betrayed, they will react and when they react, their dendam kesumat tidak tersudah-sudah (wrath will be endless).
"When Malays are betrayed, there is a backlash and the Chinese must bear the consequences of a Malay backlash," he was quoted as saying.
To stress his position, Mohd Noor, who currently sits on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) complaints committee, said the Malays have always been on the defensive but if the community were to move to the offensive, they should demand for the creation of more Malay rights, including reserve lands and a higher Bumiputera equity target.
"The nice term would be called 're-organising society' but the crude term would be for Malays to emigrate into the cities so that we will own the houses together with others and not only be able to just look at them,"
"Arrange it in such away, that from today on, every businesses would have a 67 per cent share ready for Malays to be taken up at any time," he was quoted saying.
Post-Election 2013 has seen scores of BN and BN-friendly leaders take pot shots at the Chinese community for their clear backing of federal opposition Pakatan Rakyat (PR) during the tumultuous polls last week.
But while they argue that it had been a "Chinese tsunami" that had cost BN to bleed seats, analysts and PR leaders have denied this, pointing to the 51 per cent in popular vote that the opposition had won against BN's 48 per cent.
Instead, they have argued that the vote trend did not reflect a Chinese vs Malay contest but rather an urban vs rural divide that has resulted in the emergence of two Malaysias.
