Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh’s response to the issue of China flags being waved during a festival in Teluk Intan has irked a DAP Youth leader, who accused Akmal of playing to the opposition’s tune.

DAP Youth national varsity affairs bureau director Ho Chi Yang claimed that Akmal’s remarks were only furthering rumours spread by PAS against the Guan Gong cultural festival and fanning racial tensions.
