Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor today called PKR vice-president N Surendran "crazy" and a "loyar burok" (braggart) for likening the opposition's struggle against Umno to an "anti-Apartheid" struggle.
"If Surendran says that Umno follows an apartheid system, please ask him how there are Indian and Chinese schools in this country?" he asked during a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) training institute today."That is his problem, he wants to be popular, he wants people to pay him as a lawyer, he's a loyar burok. He's crazy, even in Parliament, the speaker asked him to get out," he said.
Tengku Adnan had just returned from South Africa after representing the Malaysian government in the Nelson Mandela memorial in Suweto.
"Umno is an anti-apartheid party, that is why the government sent two ministers to represent Malaysia. I went to Africa representing the government and Umno," he said.
On Dec 9, Surendran had said that the Malaysian politician who comes closest to comparison to South Africa's iconic leader Nelson Mandela was Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Surendran himself was responding to Umno, after party president Najib Abdul Razak had, during the Umno AGM, likened Umno's struggle to Nelson Mandela's anti-apartheid struggle.
