PETALING JAYA: Known for making controversial statements, Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman (pic) denied he used words such as lempang and tampar (to slap) on Chinese who highlighted complaints outside the country.

Tajuddin, the Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister and Pasir Salak MP, said such choices of words "are not suitable for a veteran politician like me."
