Malay DAP members today said they turned their backs on Umno, and joined the federal opposition party because Umno treated Malays like "meat chicken" (ayam daging).
They said this after Federal Territories Umno Youth chief Razlan Rafii said in a forum on Monday said DAP did not respect Malays and would continue to do so if it comes into power.
"Malays under Umno are like meat chicken at a poultry farm, fed animal feed so they will be healthy and fat before taken to the slaughter...," they said in a statement.
Malays under Umno are "slaughtered" with issues like the goods and services tax, 1MDB debt scandal, high household debt and other economic issues, they said.
"These chicken reared by Umno are fed with fear of losing power... they are intimidated by the Chinese.
"This is what Umno teaches Malays, so they can easily be rounded up and slaughtered to satisfy the hunger of the Malay elite to remain in power at the expense of the people," they said.
The statement was jointly issued by Young Syefura Othman, Edry Faizal Eddy Yusof, Syerleena Abdul Rashid, Mohammad Firdaus Babh, Muhammad Shakir Ameer Mohideen, Nor Miswary Ramli, Azfar Faruqi Mohamad Idris, Shukri Mokhtar, Farhan Haziq, Numan Afifi, Ahmad Irfan Hani, Izmil Amri and Muhammad Khairil Khalid.
They are listed as members and office-bearers at grassroots and state levels in Penang and Selangor.
They said Razlan, who has led two violent demonstrations in front of the DAP headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, was fortunate to have "thick skin".
This was because he kept defending Umno at a time when the party was attacked from all corners, including by its former president Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"We hope Razlan's sacrifices will reap him just reward," they said.
"But we advise Razlan to monitor the situation and realise that Malays today no longer want to eat animal feed.
"Malays today know that Umno has all this while placed them at the bottom of its feet," they added.- Mkini
