The Perkasa chief hits back at Wong Chun Wai for calling him a "dinosaur" and labels him as “father of crocodile”.
PETALING JAYA: Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali has branded Group Chief Editor of the Star, Wong Chun Wai, as the “father of crocodile” and accused him of writing “very subtly to destroy the country’s basic constitution”.
Ibrahim’s latest tirade was provoked by Wong’s column in the Sunday Star today entitled “Talk Less, Listen Harder” in which he suggested that politicians begin paying attention to the real boss – the rakyat.
“We are not interested in 100-storey buildings, whether wives should be obedient to their husbands in bed or racist tirades from political dinosaurs like Datuk Ibrahim Ali of Perkasa,” Wong wrote.
During his opening speech at the Perak Perkasa annual meeting this afternoon, an indignant Ibrahim told 1,200 delegates that he wasn’t interested either in a” racist tirade from a columnist father of crocodile like Wong Chun Wai”.
“I know this is a person who writes on and on very subtly to destroy the country’s basic constitution,” he said in a statement via text message. “So I would like to say right in front of Wong Chun Wai, you can write and fool others but not the dinosaur Ibrahim Ali.”
“I’m proud to be a Malay dinosaur who will protect at any cost against those who try to write a new social contract for Malaysia. So Wong better behave and be a good Malaysian citizen. Don’t try to ask more. Enough is enough.”
When asked what a “father of crocodile” meant, Ibrahim said that it referred to a hypocrite who swallowed everything.
The independent Pasir Mas MP then proceeded to dragged Pakatan Rakyat’s national leaders into his diatribe.
“If I’m a dinosaur then (Opposition Leader) Anwar Ibrahim, (DAP advisor) Lim Kit Siang, (PAS spiritual advisor) Nik Aziz Nik Mat, (Penang chief minister) Lim Guan Eng and (DAP national chairman) Karpal Singh are fathers of dinosaurs,” he ranted. “They (have been in power) longer than me. We call them the fathers of nepotism.”
Ibrahim questioned why Wong chose to overlook this fact.
