What DAPSY did was tantamount to vandalism

Like everyone else, I am not amused with what the Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth #DAPSY did to the road signs in #Kuching city centre which is tantamount to vandalism and I am sure the Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) and the relevant authority must be firm on this matter.

We simply cannot have two sets of laws whereby when ordinary persons desecrate a public property, they would be charged in court, but if DAP leaders did it, they go scot-free. 

I thanked our #media friends who requested my comments on the recent actions of #DAPSY whose members pasted Chinese characters on road signs at Jalan Main Bazaar, Wayang Street and Jalan Green Hill on August 20.

I have also stressed that the police and DBKU must haul up these rascals and charge them in court. The issue here is not about language and signage. The issue is about public property being openly vandalised and the authority cannot just sit still.

We all know Malaysia is a multi-racial and a multi-religious country with Bahasa Malaysia as the official language. In Sarawak itself, English is the second official language. If DAP feels that Mandarin should be the third official language, they should raise it up in Parliament or in the state assembly. They should not vandalise public properties just to put their ideas across.
