Ahmad Ismail: UMNO’s racist thug and poster child for the dangers of inbreeding.

Heaven knows Malaysia has suffered more than her fair share of pustulent bigots, but Bukit Bendera UMNO chief Ahmad Ismail takes the definition of ‘pustulent bigot’ to even more putrid depths, first with his racist tirade against ‘Chinese squatters’ during the Permatang Pauh campaign, and now his equally fetid defiance in the face of public outrage.

The delicious irony is that this inbred, racist thug has done far more damage to UMNO than to anyone else, really. Even better, he’s actually managed to insult his own UMNO leadership as well in the process. It takes real talent to be be able to do all that. Of course, this festering sac of pus pretending to be a human being rationalises that he is doing a great service to bigotkind.

So, the question is: will Badawi and Najib make an example of Ahmad Ismail to stamp out the growing UMNO mutiny (no one expects them to disown the statement and make a real apology to the Chinese and minorities), or will they quietly appease the extremist faction represented by this rabid dog, who after all was only reiterating the racist sentiments so often uttered in the past by UMNO leaders – including Najib himself?

It does not matter now. Either way, great damage has been done to UMNO, and to a lesser extent, BN.

This is what happens when one interbreeds and inbreeds racists and thugs: In its quest for ‘racial supremacy’ UMNO has instead succeeded in producing a new breed of untermenschen – vile, gibbering, inbred creatures dripping with corruption and fattened on the twin poisons of bigotry and ignorance (Much like J.R.R. Tolkien’s Orcs and Uruk-hai); vermin like Ahmad Ismail, Hishammudin, Khairy, Najib, Bung Radin, Nazri Aziz, Adnan Yaakob, Hashim Suboh… the list goes on and on.

Ironically, the fool has inadvertently helped us advance the popular, multiracial platform of Pakatan Rakyat, by highlighting (yet again) the undisguised racism within UMNO. We could spend hours (and we do) expounding the virtues of the Bangsa Malaysia principle – ‘colourblind’ Malaysian multiculturalism – and still be scarcely more convincing than having this vile creature demonstrate for us the dangers of bigotry.

That UMNO should be undone by the rantings of one of its own racist dogs is but poetic justice.

May I suggest that when Pakatan Rakyat reclaims our country from the UMNO-BN regime, we each send a thank-you card to Ahmad Ismail for his ‘help’.

THAT, my fellow Malaysians, would be poetic revenge. Serve it cold.

Best regards,

Penang Umno backs Ahmad, snubs Pak Lah
Athi Veerangan | Sep 5, 08 4:10pm

Backed by all 13 Umno divisions from Penang, the embattled Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Ahmad Ismail today fervently defended his stand not to apologise for his alleged racist remarks against the Chinese community.

All Penang Umno divisions, including Prime Minister and Umno president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s Kepala Batas, fully supported Ahmad’s stance, which erupted into a national furore since last week.The Penang Umno’s action today came as a snub against the prime minister who had earlier urged Ahmad to make an apology.

Abdullah, who is Penang Umno chief, is scheduled to have a meeting with the division leaders tomorrow in his home state.

Instead of apologising, the local Umno strongman today accused vernacular daily Sin Chiew Daily and its journalist for triggering the controversy by reporting his speech out of context, which was delivered during the recent Permatang Pauh by-election rally in Kampung Belah Dua on Aug 25.

“The newspaper and reporter were the ones who should apologise to me, my family, my friends, Umno and all Malaysians for misrepresenting the facts and wrongly reporting my statements,” he said.

Ahmad also took a swipe at the so-called trial by media, which had publicly found him guilty without hearing his side of the story.

The packed press conference was unexpectedly held under a rather intimidating atmosphere with the presence of some 100 Umno members, mostly from Bukit Bendera division, and it was frequently punctuated by shouts of racial slurs and threats.

…

Other local Umno leaders such as state secretary Azhar Ibrahim, Bukit Mertajam division chief Musa Syeikh Fadzir and Bayan Baru division chief Mohd Zain Omar joined Ahmad to rap those who objected to Ahmad’s rally speech.

Azhar blasted the Sin Chew Daily journalist who first reported Ahmad’s speech as ‘idiotic’, saying that “the reporter and the newspaper should be held responsible for inciting racial hatred and conflict”.

Meanwhile, Ahmad also slammed Gerakan acting president Dr Koh Tsu Koon as a “great liar and opportunist”, and said Gerakan can always “get out from Barisan Nasional”.

He even claimed BN would not have lost in Penang in the last general election if not for the incompetency of former chief minister Koh and his party.

“MCA could have won more seats if not for Gerakan,” he claimed.

He accused Koh and Gerakan of using him as a pawn to resurrect their waning credibility, position and relevance among the Chinese community.

In a clear sign of defiance and internal mutiny over the controversy, Musa hit out at the Umno top leadership for apologising on behalf of the party without checking the facts with Ahmad.

Deputy Prime Minister and Umno deputy president Najib Abdul Razak had already apologised over the issue to Chinese Malaysians on behalf of the party.

“The national leadership can have its own stand, but Penang divisional leaders have theirs.

“We fully back Ahmad on this issue,” Musa told journalists, rejecting outright Najib’s apologetic gesture.

But the most intimidating threat came from former Bayan Lepas assemblyperson Mohd Zain, who warned “non-Malays to be extra careful with their deeds and words”.

“Don’t disturb and push the Malays too much. Don’t think we are quiet.

“We can retaliate very aggressively,” he thumped home amidst applause from supporters.

Mohd Zain rapped “Chinese and Hindus of blowing up Muslim conversion issues out of proportion while at the same time, being quiet on Christianity conversion issues”.

At the same time, Ahmad argued that he was neither a racist nor anti-Chinese.

The former municipal councillor, who is being investigated by the police under the Sedition Act, said he has many Chinese friends, both personal and business, all these years.

The press conference ended with a show of solidarity and strength from local Umno leaders, and shouts of ‘Hidup Melayu’ (long live Malays).
