Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan said the incident involving Agriculture Minister Salahuddin Ayub politicking at a school shows that Pakatan Harapan is no better than BN.
Salahuddin had on Monday given an allocation of RM5,000 to SRJK (C) Pei Chio in Kukup Laut, Tanjung Piai.
In a leaked video of a meeting he had there, the Amanah deputy president also warned that if BN and PAS are supported, there will be chaos in the country.
Mohamad, who is widely referred to as Tok Mat, said this was a similar kind of issue that Harapan had used to attack BN in the past.
"BN was condemned for meeting with teachers, now Harapan is licking their own spit.
"It's all like beruk (monkeys). Sorry, to say but everyone's a monkey.
"It's just the same, there's no need to talk bad about others," Mohamad told reporters in Kampung Penerok last night.
He added that Harapan appeared to be worse than BN.
Tanjung Piai Umno Youth had lodged a police report against Salahuddin yesterday over the remarks about there being chaos if BN and PAS won the by-election.
The wing claimed that such remarks are racist and threatened national stability.
Addressing this in Parliament yesterday, Salahuddin said he was merely delivering promises that had been made beforehand this only served as a reminder to PAS and Umno to stop fanning racial sentiments.
Mohamad likewise warned Harapan against playing with race, saying this would be crossing the line.
Polling for the Tanjung Piai by-election will be held on Nov 16. - Mkini
