Warning to MCA by Lowly UMNO Youth Leader

The sudden and uncalled for announcement made by our Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak about Malaysia being a Islamic state and never a secular state I was not going to bother to post it here, but this piece of news from opposition leader Lim Kit Siang's blog that was published on one of our local Malay daily, Berita Harian, really made my blood boil. Here is what UMNO (United Malays National Organisation, a component of Barisan Nasional, the ruling party of Malaysia) Youth Movement's leader Hishammuddin Hussein said or wrote in a warning letter to MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association, component of Barisan Nasional):
“Saya beri amaran kepada pemimpin MCA supaya berhenti membuat kenyataan sedemikian. Ingin saya tegaskan, saya bukan pemimpin naif yang akan membenarkan perkara ini berterusan. Amaran saya ialah berhenti membuat kenyataan."

Translation:

"I am warning the MCA leaders to stop making such statements. I stress that I am not a naive leader that will allow this to continue. My warning is to stop making statements."
Hah! Warning? Warning a major component party by a youth party? One of the statements he was referring to was made by MCA Secretary-General Datuk Ong Ka Chuan that MCA has ample proof that Malaysia WAS a secular state and not an Islamic one.

Let's see if there are any replies from MCA to this keris wielding (that is another story) Hishammuddin who spoke out of his turn.
