Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the protesters, who clashed with police during yesterday's rally in the city, were merely reacting to DAP lawmaker Nga Kor Ming’s Hari Raya greetings on Facebook that he termed as insulting.
"And the Umno Youth members were merely carrying out their responsibility to defend the pride of the Malays and of Islam that were insulted by Nga Kor Ming.
"Yesterday was an example of their reacting to his statement. It is their duty to defend the integrity and the dignity of the Malays who were insulted," he said.
He also cautioned other politicians against making such controversial statements, even in jest, as it could affect the sensitivities of Malaysians.
“I hope after this there will be no more incidents like this. All leaders, opposition politicians and such have to be careful when issuing statements.
