PETALING JAYA: Poor show – that’s the view of Umno and MCA Youth leaders to DAP’s handling of the letterhead issue and the “OMG! The real culprit freed” tweet.

Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said it did not make sense for Selangor DAP leader Teng Chang Khim to use a movie as a cover-up for his tweet, and that he believes Teng had actually meant to describe another DAP leader.

On Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu, he said Liu’s explanation was weak when he claimed he was not aware his letterhead had been used in a supporting letter for a company linked to the son of a Klang councillor.

“It is nothing less than covering up what they did. They try to sweep things under the carpet,” Khairy said yesterday.

The DAP disciplinary committee held an inquiry on Thursday to probe Teng’s “OMG!” tweet and the letterhead issue involving Liu.

Teng posted the tweet on July 31 after the committee announced its decision to sack Selangor DAP organising secretary and Klang councillor Tee Boon Hock for allegedly issuing several support letters with Liu’s letterhead.

Teng told the disciplinary committee that his tweet was about the Hong Kong movie 14 Blades, in which a character betrayed the chief imperial guard.

It also issued a “severe reprimand” to Liu over the letterhead controversy, saying he had not managed his office diligently.

MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong did not believe Teng had meant to tweet about 14 Blades as the movie did not dwell on politics.

Dr Wee said it was difficult to believe Liu’s statement claiming he did not know a support letter with his exco letterhead had been issued to a company in which Tee’s son is a director.

Dr Wee had on Thursday tweeted: “OMG, who is the culprit that escaped from the ‘kangaroo court’ of DAP? From now on, DAP means Drama Action Party. Please get a good director & producer!”

MCA deputy publicity bureau chief Loh Seng Kok said “they (DAP) are trying to fool the people”, adding that what Teng tweeted was in public domain.
