In the 9.30pm incident, two men on motorcycles had earlier attempted to disrupt the ceramah by blasting their vehicles' horns and revving their engines repeatedly.
Subsequently, one of the men got down from his motorcycle and walked towards the makeshift stage before confronting Chew, who was delivering her speech.
His action prompted Chew, who was standing on the bed of a pickup truck, to pause her speech before other MCA members rushed to her aid to stop the man from getting close to her.
MCA Bentong division's publicity bureau head Lim Chau Leng said the man and his accomplice left 20 minutes later after they were ordered by senior MCA members.
Lim said quick action by MCA members who were standing near the makeshift stage prevented any untoward incident as the man could have tried to attack Chew.
"Although he appeared unarmed, anything could have happened. This is shocking as previously, our ceramah in Bentong would go on peacefully without any trouble.
"MCA had lodged a police report on this matter. We hope police will be present at future ceramah to ensure the event continues smoothly. I would like to remind the culprits not to continue causing trouble as it will only scare the public," he said yesterday.
Lim said both men were believed to be opposition supporters as they had tied flags of the respective political parties on their motorcycles.
He said Saturday's ceramah was the first organised by MCA Bentong, with six speakers invited to talk.

ReplyDeleteAngkatan Belia Islam Malaysia (ABIM) menggesa agar budaya politik yang ,merugikan rakyat serta negara seperti amalan politik lucah, fitnah, samseng serta rasuah dapat dielakkan daripada menggejala sempena PRU 13 kali ini.
ReplyDeleteSekiranya gesaan ini dicabuli, ABIM ingin menyeru umat Islam memainkan peranan selaku check & balance kepada pihak yang terlibat agar tidak mengamalkan budaya ini.
ReplyDeleteSekiranya ia dicabuli, umat Islam serta para pengundi secara umumnya hendaklah mengatakan protes dengan tidak menyokong serta mengundi pihak yang berkenaan.
ReplyDeletePilihanraya adalah manifestasi amalan demokrasi sihat di negara ini. Kesuciannya selaku wadah memartabatkan suara rakyat perlu dibela daripada dicemari dengan amalan-amalan politik yang tidak memberikan sebarang manfaat kepada masa depan politik rakyat.
ReplyDeleteharap2 PRU-13 berjalan dengan lancar dan tiada kekecohan berlaku.ini tidak mustahil jika semua pihak ada kerjasama dan bertindak tidak melampaui lunas undang-undang.
