Pahang MB: Look, I didn't mean it literally

Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob today clarified that he did not mean cut off his ears literaly if Barisan Nasional lost in Bentong.

Instead, he explained that it was a figurative speech intended for his critics to learn English.

"Do you know figurative speech? In English language, we have figurative speech. We have simile, we have metaphor, hyberbole...

"So when I say cut my ears, that means they (DAP) can never win. That shows the level of confidence. This is not that is we (BN lose) they (opposition) take the knife and cut off my ears literally.

"No, this is figurative speech - figurative language to let these people study English," he told journalists along the sidelines on the last day of the Umno general assembly today.
