PETALING JAYA: Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has slammed a DAP leader’s social media post celebrating the High Court’s decision to dismiss a bid by Najib Razak to serve his sentence under house arrest.
Asyraf said the comments by Yeo Bee Yin were “very rude and inhumane”.
“If you are unable to offer any sympathy, do not issue such rude and offensive statements,” he said in a Facebook post in which he also uploaded a screenshot of Yeo’s social media post.
Asyraf went on to say that maybe it was time for Umno to review its cooperation with those who did not appreciate the party’s contributions.
“What more mocking a former Umno leader who is still revered by the party of which helped form the unity government.”
Following the court’s decision Yeo, who is the DAP publicity secretary, wrote “another reason to celebrate this year end”. PKR’s Wong Chen said “justice lives” in a separate Facebook post.
Separately, president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has warned against adding fuel to the fire in a cryptic message.
While Zahid did not identify anyone in particular, it is believed to be directed at those celebrating the High Court’s decision.
