Ronnie Liu has one week to apologise, says Syed Saddiq

PETALING JAYA: Bersatu Youth (Armada) chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has slammed Ronnie Liu over the latter's critical remarks on Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Oct 21), Syed Saddiq labelled Liu's remarks as "rude", and "disrespectful to the harmony within Pakatan Harapan".

He added that Armada will give Ronnie Liu a week to apologise.

"Either that, or he must be disciplined by DAP. If not, Armada Bersatu will not hesitate to act on such a rude attack.

"If DAP does not do anything, Armada will freely attack DAP, including its top leadership," said Syed Saddiq.

Earlier on Wednesday (Oct 23), DAP national organising secretary Anthony Loke said that Liu will be facing the DAP disciplinary committee over his opinion piece about the exclusion of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia from Pakatan Harapan.

“That statement is Liu’s personal opinion, and it is very uncalled for and very irresponsible.

“No one from Pakatan should ever question the unity within the coalition and no single leader from any component party should talk about the exclusion of any component of Pakatan, including DAP, ” Loke said.

In an opinion piece entitled “Mahathir: The Paper Tiger” yesterday, Liu had written that DAP, PKR, Amanah, Warisan and UPKO can band together and form a government without Bersatu.

“Bersatu may have 26 MPs now, but DAP, PKR, Amanah, Warisan and UPKO collectively have 113 seats in parliament, enough to form a majority, ” he wrote.
