Kit Siang touched by MCA man's 'sorry'



Lim Kit Siang is touched by suspended Pahang MCA division leader David Choi's apology to a farmer who was arrested for sharing a video deemed insulting to Deputy Education Minister Chong Sin Woon.
The farmer's video was in response to Chong's “deity” jibe at Lim's son and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng after massive floods hit the northern state.
As a result of his apology, Choi was stripped of all party positions in the Indera Mahkota division.
Lim said although Choi had been punished by his party superiors, the latter, however, had done the right thing by apologising for the injustice suffered by the farmer from Taiping, Perak.
“In fact, the MCA national leadership should emulate Choi's example, apologise and make amends to the Taiping farmer as well,” he added in a media statement.
The farmer was arrested in Taiping over a police report lodged by MCA Youth and brought to Kuantan, Pahang, to be remanded for sharing the video, in which a netizen had insulted Chong using vulgar words.
However, the netizen who shot the original video is yet to be located.
Following the farmer's release two days later, Choi met him and apologised for the incident, much to the chagrin of MCA leaders.
He told Malaysiakini that he was merely representing some of the party members.
"MCA leaders claim to represent all Chinese Malaysians but so much effort was used to go after a poor farmer.
"The people will judge MCA from this incident. I want to tell them (MCA leaders), the 'heavens are watching you'," he said.
Chong, who courted flak for his deity remarks during the MCA annual general assembly, had immediately apologised.
Chong is also the MCA Youth chief. -Mkini
