KUALA LUMPUR: Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali is the one who should be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for spewing out racist comments, said MIC leader S Vell Paari.
The MIC central working committee member told FMT that he is upset with Perkasa's call for Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong to be arrested under ISA.
Vell Paari warned Ibrahim, who is the Independent MP for Pasir Mas, not to threaten others to further his agenda.
“Does he think that ISA stands for Ibrahim's Security Act?” he asked.
“Wee has explained himself (over the scholarship issue), and if Ibrahim thinks Wee should be held under ISA, (the rest of us think) that it is Ibrahim who should be put under ISA,” he said.
“It is Ibrahim who labelled the Chinese as ungrateful and wanted them to be punished just because they exercised their right to vote for the opposition. Is this not a threat?” he added.
