YOURSAY | ‘I guess Ambassador Huang may issue a travel warning to his fellow citizens.’

'Rude Chinese' causing issues, Umno Youth tells envoy

Odin Tajué: Umno Youth exco member Arman Azha Abu Hanifah, you do not respect other races, especially the Chinese. You always blame your shortcomings and failures on them - as well as on Christians, Jews, the Mossad, and the West.

Your idea of dignity is siphoning public resources, making money fast and from doing nothing. Your idea of dignified persons is those who use their positions to steal millions and billions of public funds and strut about in fine clothes, luxury cars, and diamonds, acquire properties in several advanced countries, and jet to the capitals of the world to shop.

Your idea of dignity is the supporting of such people in the hope of getting crumbs from them, never mind if by their action they insult your own race and religion, and they and you accuse those of other races of insulting your race and religion, when, in fact, they do not need to; you all have been doing it yourselves.

In short, you all are ‘bangangs’ and ‘bangsats’. And, no, I am not Chinese.

Quigonbond: Yet another Umno extremist out to make a name for himself. Malays always respect the rights of other people, race and religion - that statement is true on most counts, except the creed from Umno who does not respect other races and religion, but also their own.

As much as Umno tries to turn this into a Chinese versus Malay conflict, most Malaysians yawn at the silly rhetoric because they know that at the end of the day, if there is such tension, and we are embroiled in a civil commotion, the ones who will really lose out are the many Umno monopolies in the country - and their bosses who are in cushy positions while the rest of Malaysians have to suffer from their lack of patronage and connections to get contracts now reserved for Umno cronies.

Hplooi: "The ones disrupting peace lately are the ethnic Chinese, who provoke and insult Malays and their leaders," said Arman.

This statement is as clear as day what Umno is driving at. Now what has the rest of the Chinese population got to say? I can ‘ludah’ (spit) in your face, MCA chief Liow Tiong Lai.

From Penang: Dear Jaguh Kampung (village champion), China is now the world’s second largest economy and Malaysia’s biggest trading partner.

China is Malaysia’s second largest export market - worth about US$29 billion (12.6%) in 2013. It is the largest import partner for Malaysia, also at about US$29 billion (15.1%) in 2013. However, this only represented about 1.23% of China’s exports.

While you can be upset with the Chinese envoy, please look at the bigger picture.

Voice: By summoning the ambassador, this Umno regime has just brought the matter to another level. Earlier it could be tens of millions of people in China but now it could be hundreds of million who will know about it.

If this Umno apple-polisher wants to take it up to the next level, he can get his men to protest in front of the Chinese embassy.

Mushiro: In case the Chinese ambassador is confused, Arman said the ones disrupting peace are the ethnic Chinese who provoked and insulted Malays and their leaders and this happened in last month’s Bersih 4 rally.

The 35% Malays who attended the Bersih 4 rally were very well mannered and did not insult anyone. PM Najib Razak's close Chinese friends such as Jho Low, the tycoons in George Kent, etc, have never insulted the Malays and the Malays are not angry with them.

Arman also meant that the Malays are upset with the counterfeit business in Petaling Street, but are happy with the 1MDB’s RM42 billion debt and the RM2.6 billion 'donation' that Najib received.

Aries46: Arman is not fooling anyone, including the Chinese ambassador. Everyone knows what Umno is up to. The world is watching.

And speaking of rudeness, Arman would do well to dwell on who are the custodians of amok, rabble-rousing, race and religion rhetoric, butt-dancing, brandishing race battering and threatening placards and banners, kissing the keris and blaming others for Umno’s internal problems.

We are governed by laws and those that take to the streets to threaten other races to divert attention from their self-created problems must be dealt with by the law.

Apa Nama: Arman, just because two Malaysians of ethnic Chinese step on a photo depicting Najib did not mean the whole race is rude.

If you make a generalisation like this, others too can generalise that the whole Malay community is rude because one or two of its members called the Chinese "Cina babi".

Ib: I guess life must be frustrating when you have all the patronage privileges because even if you are successful there is no pride as this success is not earned.

Then after a while you start to imagine that everyone does not respect you, and you ended up calling them rude.

Voice: Arman, if we are to follow what you said then Malaysia should not have interfered in Palestine-Israel conflict and Bosnia, which are thousands miles away in the first place.

Anonymous #523894157: Stay focused, 1MDB scandal is the problem. Let’s not divert our attention to foreigners. Malaysia is sinking like a submarine, or rather a rock to be more precise.

Tembikai: China ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang. I guess your visit to Petaling Street was to gauge how safe the place is for Chinese tourists.

Now that you have the answer, you may issue a travel warning to your fellow citizens, just like what other countries have done.

Send in the Clowns: Perhaps the tourism minister should take the initiative to sell Malaysia to China with the campaign, "Cina babi welcome to Malaysia".

For Umno, calling all Chinese 'Cina babi' not rude?
