"MCA: Who are we to ask for apology ?"
Yen Yen: MCA did not ask Nazri to apologise
GEORGE TOWN, March 27 — MCA vice president Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen has reiterated that the party did not ask Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz to resign or apologise following his controversial comments on MCA, MIC and Gerakan.
Ng (picture), who is also the Tourism Minister, said everyone had the right to voice out their comments but also must observe the ethics of the Barisan Nasional.
“For MCA, the most important persons whose opinions matter to us are Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. So we are not going to be bothered over Nazri’s comment,” she told reporters after attending the 1 MCA Medical Foundation fund raising dinner here today.
She was responding to a Nanyang Siang Pau report on Wednesday, quoting Nazri as comparing MCA’s current situation to “a wife who complains all day long that she was being abused, raped and not given enough food, but yet does not want to divorce her husband.”
Earlier today, speaking in Padang Rengas, Perak, Nazri had said that there was no need for him to apologise for the remarks as they had been misinterpreted by the journalist conducting the interview. — Bernama
