MCA Youth is disturbed with the outburst by UMNO Youth Chief Dato’ Hishammuddin Tun Hussein published in Berita Harian today over the Islamic state and secular state issue. The tone and choice of words said are alarming and does not reflect the spirit of the Barisan Nasional.

We certainly cannot agree that opinions supported by factual events and legal documents, expressed by the leadership of the most senior partner to UMNO in the Barisan Nasional can be treated with such scorn.

Any major disagreement over this nature can be resolved by the top Barisan Nasional leadership without any issuing of warnings or any show of one upmanship. We are indeed disappointed that legitimate differing views are responded with threats. More so in a period where we are all reminded of the sacrifices and gentlemanly conducts of the Tunku, Tun Razak and Tun Hussein. We urge that goodwill n sheer common sense would prevail. 

MP for Kota Melaka and MCA Central Committee member, YB Wong Nai Chee reiterated that MCA has made our stand abundantly clear and we have nothing more to add. Wong added that we don’t intend to engage in public outcry.
