What next? Kuey teow before PM's residence?

Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar said he is “uneasy” over the ‘butt protest' in front of Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga’s home on Tuesday, saying there are other ways of expressing dissent.

As an example, he pointed out that he had held a debate with Ambiga, and said there was no necessity for the protests in front of her residence.

Khairy (right) is particularly worried that the whole thing could deteriorate into a tit-for-tat saga with the country ending up the laughing stock of the world.

“If not, this thing will never end: Sell burgers in front of Ambiga’s house one day, sell thosai in front of the deputy IGP’s house a few days later. Maybe sell kuey teow in front of Seri Perdana (the prime minister’s official residence) next week.

“This will get ridiculous and we will be the laughing stock of the world... Let’s be more mature in our politics,” he said when asked by reporters at a press conference after launching Auto Forum 2012 in Kuala Lumpur today.
