Hisham: It’s another lie

SINGAPORE: Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the latest malicious SMS made against him is another lie by unscrupulous people who are trying to disrupt racial harmony in the country.

“I read this SMS today, which is untrue, a deception, and is laced with racism. It accused me and my deputy Khairy Jamaluddin of planning to go to Kampung Baru to incite hatred of the Malays against other races on Dec 19.

“The intentions (of the sender) is evil. It is an act to worsen the situation. Just like the earlier SMS, which claimed that I do not need the support of the Indians and Chinese, it is a lie,” he said.

Hishammuddin said neither he nor Khairy has any intention to go to Kampung Baru to incite the Malays against the non-Malays.

“That is not how we work in Barisan Nasional. That is not something we will ever do,” he said.

He called for Malaysians not to be easily influenced by lies and deception that can disrupt harmonious society, saying that those spreading them wanted to create chaos in the country.

While the earlier SMS quoted Bernama as the source, Hishammuddin said the new one did not quote anybody.

“When Bernama was framed, Bernama denied sending it and that shows that the SMS was a complete lie.

“This recent SMS did not quote Bernama, so they have learnt from their mistake,” he said.

He vowed to expose those behind the rumours and said that they will continue to monitor the SMS although he would not lodge a police report.

“We will expose them, their evil intentions, and their narrow-minded aim. If I am to lodge police reports over SMSes, then I will be at the police station every day,” he said.
