Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has demanded an explanation from the Federal Territory (FT) Umno following chaos involving Umno Youth members outside the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Saying the protesters had crossed the line, Tengku Adnan (pic) said action would be taken against them.
"We will question them. What they did was unethical. We want a peaceful country.
"To me, whoever holds a protest, let the police handle it, as this country has laws," Tengku Adnan said at the Gerakan by-election campaign operations centre in Teluk Intan today.
Yesterday afternoon, some 50 FT Umno Youth members protested in front of the DAP headquarters in Jalan Loke Yew, threatening to burn the building.
DAP leaders claimed the group had destroyed the party's signboard.
The protesters later handed over a memorandum to party strategist Dr Ong Kian Ming, denouncing Penang's Seri Delima assemblyman R.S.N. Rayer over his "Umno celaka" (Umno be damned) remark.
Tengku Adnan said Umno Youth members were not exempt from disciplinary action if they were found to have breached party constitution.
"If they breached party rules, we will take action. I was not aware as I was outstation (during the incident).
"We leave it to the police. If Umno Youth is wrong, let the police act against them.”
Tengku Adnan, however, took aim at the opposition, saying its elected representatives were exploiting house immunity by saying "whatever they like" during sittings.
