An MCA leader reminds Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman's wife that extremists cannot be community heroes.
Ong Chong Swen said Nor Saleha Mohd Salleh had further insulted Chinese Malaysians by pouring accolades on her husband.
The Wanita MCA vice-chairperson also questioned where Abdullah and Nor Salleha’s ancestors hailed from.
"My grandfather came from Southern China a hundred years ago to do business and resided here; subsequently my parents, my children and I were all born on this land.
"Thus, I would like to ask Nor Saleha where and when did her husband and her ancestors come from?
"How many generations have they resided in the peninsula? Malaysia is a multiracial country and I advise this husband-and-wife team to re-study their national history," she added.
Yesterday, Nor Saleha, a university lecturer, criticised the authorities for charging her husband with sedition for his "Chinese Malaysians are intruders" statement.
She also described it as an "insult" to the Malay race.
'Shallow minds exposed'
Ong said it was regrettable that Nor Saleha, as a wife and woman in this age, was not able to differentiate between truth and falsehood.
"A modern woman should be independent-minded and rectify those inappropriate remarks about her husband, instead of rendering him blind support.
"But she further said that charging her husband in court is an attempt to refrain him from telling the truth.
"As a lecturer of Kolej Universiti Islam Selangor (Kuis), I am worried for the students taking her course. How she can guide the students to see the truth?" Ong asked.
If others made similar discriminatory remarks about the Malays, Ong added, how would Nor Saleha have reacted.
"Such remarks only expose their lack of thought and shallow minds," she added.
On the same note, Ong also praised attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail for taking prompt action in dealing with those who fan racial sentiments.
