'Don't vent anger against Umno in by-election'


TELUK INTAN In the wake of widespread criticism over the violent protests by Umno Youth, Gerakan adviser Chang Ko Youn has appealed to Teluk Intan residents not to translate their anger against the ruling party into votes.
  
Condemning the protests, Chang said Gerakan, which is a member of the ruling BN coalition, was worried that it may affect its chances to wrest back the Teluk Intan parliamentary seat in next Saturday’s by-election.

“We are a bit concerned,” replied Chang when asked if the protests affected Gerakan's campaign in the by-election, which is contested by party president Mah Siew Keong.

Chang urged the voters to “see things differently”, stating that the rowdy demonstration on Thursday at the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur and the sincerity of BN candidate Mah to serve the community were two separate issues.

While staging a demonstration at the DAP headquarters, a group of Umno Youth members had threatened to burn down the building over DAP state assemblyperson RSN Rayer's "celaka" remark.

Rayer used the word when condemning Kepala Batas MP Reezal Merican Naina Merican and two other Umno leaders who joined a rally at Sunway Carnival Mall, Seberang Jaya, in January where DAP was accused of instigating the May 13, 1969 violence.

Chang said that while he understood the anger of Umno Youth members, but violence was not a right way to settle dispute.

“They (protesters) do not represent the majority of Umno, we (BN members) do not condone to such action,” he stressed.
              
Dyana is DAP tool

Meanwhile, Chang slammed DAP candidate for Teluk Intan by-election Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud for denying that she was a puppet of the party.

“There is no point for her to deny this, people know how (party veteran Lim) Kit Siang snatches her microphone away, and how other senior leaders interjected her.

“She doesn't have freedom of speech (and) freedom of mind. This is what happens even before she becomes MP,” he chided.

Dyana denied that she was a DAP tool when she was repeatedly asked about it at a press conference yesterday for reportedly not being able to answer controversial questions on her own.
