Bersatu assemblyman told to retract ‘DAP chauvinist’ remark at Penang legislative assembly

“I believe that more ethnic Chinese bought the housing units due to affordability, I believe the main issue is about financing problems, I don’t want the perception out there that this DAP state government is a chauvinist because of this,” he said when debating the Supply Bill today. “When I raise this, don’t say I am being racist, but silat as a Malay sport was not included and it will lead to a bad perception of the state,” he said.

Deputy Speaker Dr Amar Pritpal Abdullah then instructed Zolkifly to retract the phrase “chauvinist” in reference to DAP, in which he agreed to retract. Dr Amar told Zolkifly that his intention behind the remark on silat was not right, so he had to retract it.
