BTN man bad example of 1 Malaysia, says Soi Lek
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — The MCA described the National Civics Bureau (BTN) official today who allegedly made racial slurs as a poor example of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s 1 Malaysia inclusiveness policy.
The Chinese party’s stand follows that of MIC and DAP leaders who agreed yesterday that Najib’s 1 Malaysia was being undermined by his own men in the government’s controversial agency.
“He is not a good example of a 1 Malaysia spirit citizen,” MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek (picture) told reporters today, referring to BTN Federal Territory deputy director Hamim Husin.
Hamim had yesterday referred to the Chinese and Indian communities as “Si Mata Sepet” and “Si Botol” respectively when telling Puteri Umno members to approach the non-Malays for votes.
“The ‘si mata sepet’ that has never gone to a mosque or surau only has one vote. The ‘si botol’ that only knows how to go up to Batu Caves up and down only has one vote,” Hamim told the closed-door gathering.
Dr Chua also urged the Public Service Department (PSD) to act against the BTN official.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — The DAP and MCA demanded the immediate punishment of a National Civics Bureau (BTN) official today for making racist remarks during a Puteri Umno function yesterday. Lim Kit Siang from the DAP also pushed for BTN to be dissolved in the wake of the comments made by the bureau’s deputy director Hamim Husain.
Hamim had yesterday referred to the Chinese and Indian community as “Si Mata Sepet” and “Si Botol” respectively when asking Puteri Umno members to approach the non-Malays for votes.
“The ‘si mata sepet’ that has never gone to a mosque or surau only has one vote. The ‘si botol’ that only knows how to go up to Batu Caves up and down only has one vote,” Hamim told the closed-door gathering.
