When I had raised a point of order in Parliament this morning to demand that Badruddin Amiruddin should withdraw the term, which is regarded as most derogatory by the Hainam community, the MCA MP for Mentakab, Fu Ah Kiow, stood up to defend Badruddin.
It is already most shameful that not a single MCA or Gerakan MP dare to stand up to protest against the derogatory use of the term "Nang bo te nang, gui bo te gui" by Badruddin, but it is most unbelievable that a MCA MP could stand up to defend and justify Badruddin's use of a term which is regarded as most insulting and offensive by the Hainam community.
The MCA President should haul Fu Ah Kow before the MCA Disciplinary Committee for defending Badruddin in the use of the derogatory term, "Nang bo te nang, gui bo te gui" and drop him as a MCA candidate for the forthcoming general election.
