Barisan Nasional component party Gerakan has upped the ante in the Ahmad Ismail ‘racial slur’ controversy.

The party has today issued an ultimatum - that the Gerakan Bukit Bendera division will “disassociate itself” from the Umno division chief if he continues to refuse to apologise for his allegedly racist remarks.

“(We) will have nothing to do with Ahmad Ismail any more. We call upon all like-minded Malaysians to do the same,” said Gerakan Penang secretary Dr Teng Hock Nan in a strongly-worded statement.

Teng described Ahmad’s refusal to apologise as “a clear sign of disrespect and insubordination” to both the prime minister and deputy prime minister.

Calls for Gerakan to leave BN
Gerakan has demanded that action be taken against Ahmad.

“We urge the prime minister to take stern action without fear or favour against Ahmad, not only for his racist and extremist remark which jeopardises and threatens the existing racial unity and harmony in the country but also for his disrespect and insubordination to the prime minister and his leadership,” said Teng.

Meanwhile, the party’s Penang Youth wing called on Gerakan to withdraw from BN “immediately”.

“If Umno not willing to listen and respect the views of other member parties, then it gives no reasons for Gerakan to continue working with Umno in BN,” he said.

Gerakan and MCA finally claimed back some of the supporters that they had lost since March 8 by defending the chinese in the Ahmad Ismail racial controversy.

The man has spoken. There will be no apology coz he did no wrong. It is the chinese leaders that owes him an apology.

So what say you, Koh Tsu Koon and Ong Ka Ting? The ball is at your feet now.

Gerakan stance to dissassociate themselves from Umno Bukit bendera is so lame and tame and doesn't really have any meat in those actions.

Are you guys really gonna up the ante and issue him an ultimatum or you gonna be a good servant and quietly go back to your corner and shut up?
