Bar Council a ‘bastard’ council, says Ibrahim Ali

The burning of posters with Ambiga's image at the Perkasa gathering last Sunday at Kelab Sultan Sulaiman, Kampung Baru June 19, 2011.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — Datuk Ibrahim Ali called the Bar Council today a “bastard council” and accused it of playing double standards for attacking the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

“They are hypocrites...I don’t respect at all the Bar Council,” said the Perkasa chief at a press conference today.

Ibrahim pointed out that the Bar Council had protested the burning of Bersih 2.0 chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan’s pictures at a recent Perkasa gathering, but was silent on the burning of Interlok writer Abdullah Hussain’s images at another protest.

The Independent Pasir Mas MP also said the July 9 Bersih rally was a guise to “save” Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim by sparking chaos in the country.

“Anwar Ibrahim is forced to defend himself because prima facie was ruled in the Saiful Bukhari (sodomy case) and because there is a (sex) video of a man resembling the Opposition Leader,” said Ibrahim.

“So...the spirit behind this rally is to overthrow the government,” added the pint-sized Malay rights advocate.
