MCA Youth holds peaceful demos in support of Wee
Demonstrations must be held peacefully and any form of violence is unacceptable, said MCA Youth as its members rally around their chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
Some 200 people yesterday gathered outside the United Chinese School Committees Association (Dong Zong) building here in a show of support for the Deputy Education Minister.
The supporters, wearing white shirts, gathered behind large banners with Chinese slogans and proverbs, such as one that denounced violence.
Among those present were MCA Youth vice-chairman Datuk Yoo Wei How, the movement's information bureau chief Dr Kow Cheong Wei and Selangor MCA Youth treasurer Looi Eng Hua.
In Ipoh, Perak MCA Youth held a similar show of support in front of the party headquarters.
Holding banners, some 30 of them denounced attempts by participants of last Sunday's Dong Zong rally to intimidate and assault Dr Wee.
"Please give some time for Dr Wee to solve the shortage of Chinese school teachers.
"He has been doing his best," said Ipoh Timur MCA Youth chief Tony Khoo.
Separately, in Kajang, the man who is alleged to have assaulted Dr Wee has lodged a police report.
Retiree Lee Siak Ta'a, 65, said that some Chinese dailies had reported that he had hit Dr Wee. He said he was only there to accompany a friend.
"When I saw him (Dr Wee), I got enraged and went up to question him about his inability to tackle Chinese education issues and yelled at him. I made a thumbs-down sign and pointed at him.
"It was chaotic and there were people pushing me from behind. I may or may not have accidentally touched his cheek. Even if I did, it was not intentional."
Meanwhile, in Kuala Lumpur, Dr Wee said he would cooperate with the police following a report lodged over the case.
Dr Wee added that five others who were with him during the incident would also come forward to help in the investigations.
He insisted that in the incident where he was verbally abused, objects were hurled at him and he was even almost assaulted by an unidentified person despite DAP claiming otherwise.

I am Myanmar who working in Malaysia more than 10 years and I would like to explain about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. Therefore, recently I stayed at Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS), Taiping, Perak. I am very close with Ven. U Nandiya Maha Thero.
My monk Ven. U Nandiya is very good heart and compassion to everyone in the world, also I heard when he stayed at Kuala Lumpur Buddhist Temple, he lend donation money to President of Temple(Datuk Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak) with amount RM20,000.00 only and he said that money belong to Myanmar society in Malaysia.
On the other hand, my monk said, also many things happened when he stayed there because committees always disturbing, I am very sadly about that matter, why committees are very poor and crooks. Others Temple, people come to Temple to respected Buddha and Monks, also give red packet to monks. Why this Temple, monks must give money to committees, this is opposite.
If anyone receive or read this message, please inform to DATUK YIP KUM FOOK to return that amount to my monk as soon as possible.
