MCA Alor Gajah has questioned where Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s political aide Wong Nai Chee was, when Malaysian tycoon Robert Kuok was subject to a gratuitous, malicious, baseless and savage attack by UMNO leaders recently in their opposition to Wong’s candidacy as Barisan Nasional parliamentary candidate in Alor Gajah in place of the current incumbent Koh Nai Kwong.

I am very interested in the question as to what are Wong’s political contributions in the past, when MCA Alor Gajah asked what right Wong had to contest in the Alor Gajah parliamentary seat.

During my speech in Parliament yesterday in the debate of thanks on the Yang di Pertuan Agong’s Royal Address, I specifically referred to the recent four-day UMNO bashing of Malaysian tycoon Robert Kuok, where he was subjected to four days of demonization and gratuitous, baseless, malicious and savage UMNO attacks over the false accusation that he had funded the DAP to topple the Barisan Nasional.

I had called on the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, to tender an official and public apology to Robert Kuok in Parliament during the Ministerial winding-up of the debate next week for the gratuitous, malicious, baseless and savage attacks which UMNO leaders had made on Robert Kuok recently.

As Wong is Najib’s political secretary, Wong should advise Najib to tender the public apology to Robert Kuok in Parliament next week or resign as Prime Minister’s political secretary and refuse to be a MCA candidate in the 14GE if his advice is not accepted.
