Umno Youth Told To Refrain From Confrontation
KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 (Bernama) -- Umno Youth vice- head Khairy Jamaludin today advised its 700,000 members against resorting to confrontation or physical violence which could lead to chaos.
He said the movement had never encouraged or condoned such acts by its members.
"But a the same time, I wish to stress that all this cropped because of Karpal Singh's abrasive remarks in the Dewan Rakyat.
"I feel Karpal Singh should be careful, don't provoke the sentiments of Umno Youth grassroots because I think their anger is serious and he should watch his words," he told reporters after officiating the Seputeh Youth Open Futsal Championship, here.
Khairy, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Rembau, said this when asked to comment on the commotion that occurred at Parliament House on Thursday, involving 30 members of the Selangor Umno Youth and Karpal, who is the Bukit Gelugor MP and DAP chairman.
