Your kind also love to make fun of other Chinese who happens to support BN or do not share your point of view on issues. You demand absolute loyalty to your kind. Dissent will be dealt with severely and swiftly. Your operators online and offline will ensure these voices are silenced.
Has the success of the Pakatan parties gone to your heads? Sometimes, it's wise not to step on too many people on your way up, because you'll be meeting them on your way down.
And of course, true to form, UMNO responded ostensibly to defend the PM, but in reality, to threaten the Chinese with another May 13, a threat they never fail to repeat since 1969...
Sometimes I really do wonder if it was UMNO's intention all along to kick the Chinese out of BN so that they have the excuse to whack them more. Perhaps MCA, Gerakan & MIC have outlived their usefulness. I really do think so, especially after the last general elections. It looks like the only way UMNO will get Malay support is through the demise of the Chinese. Without the Chinese, somehow PAS & PKR will become redundant.
It's really quite a strong hint on what the Malays actually think of the Chinese doesn't it? Usually smart people would get it the first time they are told, but apparently, some communities despite being told for 45 years, still don't get it.
The zeal these UMNO people show in defending the PM and their party President is indeed commendable although the intention is somewhat questionable. The fact that right now, various factions within UMNO are moving to topple PM Najib seems not to be of any significance to them. To these people who see themselves as the power behind the throne, he's just the President of their party, a position he holds for as long as he does what he's told. They are never short of eager volunteers from within their ranks to choose from anyway.

PKR urges police to act over May 13 threat by Umno supporters
PKR has urged the police to arrest those involved in yesterday's protest in Penang which saw several placards raising the spectre of May 13-style riot.
Its vice-president N. Surendran, described threats of a racial bloodshed by Umno members as shocking and a blatant act of criminality.
"Umno has clearly lost its senses, it is increasingly losing the rakyat's support and is now resorting to tactics commonly employed by North Korea," he said.
Surendran also took to task Barisan Nasional's Kepala Batas MP, Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican, for joining "this criminal Umno mob waving banners and placards which are inciting the public to violence".
"The crimes committed during yesterday's protest by Umno include criminal intimidation, public mischief and participating in acts detrimental to parliamentary democracy," he said.
"Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar and the Penang police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi cannot afford to keep silent on this issue.
"Police must take action against the protesters because of the openly criminal nature of this Umno mob," said the human rights lawyer, questioning the police's silence despite the news of the protest being widely reported.
"This is blatant hypocrisy, Pakatan Rakyat's previous peaceful gatherings and flash mobs have seen police cracking down in a heavy-handed manner," he added.
He said the rowdy protest in Seberang Jaya yesterday showed that Umno was now completely intolerant of criticism.
Surendran (pic, left) also defended Machang Bubuk state assemblyman Lee Khai Loon and his actions during a flash mob last week, where he stuffed kangkung (water spinach) into an effigy resembling Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
"Lee was merely expressing his right to freedom of expression which is enshrined in Article 10 of the Federal Constitution," Surendran said.
"There was nothing wrong or inappropriate with Lee's flash mob protest as these things are normal in any democratic country."
Surendran reminded that as Prime Minister, Najib was not above criticism, and urged him to condemn Penang Umno and take disciplinary action on Reezal.
An estimated 600 people comprising Penang Umno members had gathered to condemn Lee for the flash mob.
The crowd carried placards and banners, chanted "Allahu Akbar" and "Hidup Melayu" (Long live the Malays).
One of the banners read: "Because of DAP's leaders mouth, May 13, 1969 happened ... Want some more?" Others had messages like "Insulting the PM is like insulting the Malays", "Penang Malays survive by eating kangkung", "ABCD - Asal Bukan Cina DAP" and "DAP is the enemy of Islam".
Najib has come under attack over a recent speech in which he cited the low price of kangkung as an example that the government had no say in prices of goods.
He has since said he used the kangkung example to explain the principle of supply and demand.
"I like to eat kangkung, you all like to eat kangkung. As such, I gave an example which everybody eats. If I use quail as an example, only certain people eat it," he was quoted as saying by Bernama. - January 19, 2014. - SOURCE
