The incident where some 100 men claiming to be members of Umno Youth and Malay NGOs stormed into the Penang state assembly building was provoked by DAP representative RSN Rayer, said state opposition leader Jahara Hamid.

Therefore, the Umno leader noted that the Seri Delima assemblyperson should face action under the Sedition Act before Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng could call for stern action against the mob.
