©The Star (Used by permission) SHAH ALAM: Two Selangor Umno Youth leaders who confronted Karpal Singh outside the Parliament tower block say they have nothing to fear because they did not “even touch Karpal or his wheelchair” during Thursday’s commotion. Ungku Mat Salleh said he entered the Parliament compound after obtaining a visitor’s pass. He and a few other Umno Youth leaders had a smoke while waiting for Karpal Singh outside the tower block. When they saw the Bukit Gelugor MP arriving, they approached him and asked him to retract his statement, or repeat outside Parliament his allegations against the movement. “We did not even touch him or his wheelchair,” said Ungku Mat Salleh, adding that Karpal Singh refused to answer and accused the Umno Youth leaders of preventing him from entering Parliament. A few minutes later, Ungku Mat Salleh said that Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng came and, after some heated words, pushed him and Megat Zulkarnain. Megat Zulkarnain also said that he went to Parliament on his own accord. “I just wanted to hear for myself what Karpal Singh had to say about calling Umno Youth celaka, such a rude and unacceptable word. “I spoke nicely to Karpal Singh but it was someone else who was rude,” he said. On the eight-man investigation committee set up to look into Karpal Singh’s complaint that the group who confronted him had committed contempt against the House, both the Youth leaders said they were not afraid because they did not start the commotion, or did anything wrong to Karpal Singh. Former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo said Umno Youth would defend its dignity in whatever way necessary and warned opposition leaders to stop playing on racial sentiments.

Circular No 023/2012: Talk on ISO 9001 | 2008 Quality Management System Certification
Who started the confusion?
Why was there such a commotion?
It was certainly an angry display of emotions;
With all those involved being at high tension.
Let us all be cool !
If indeed reasoning is at all our tool.
Without our power of reasoning;
It is like foods without seasonings.
How tasteless that can be!
Surely that's not the way we want it to be.
May we all what we want to be;
And not to experience anything we do not foresee.
The unexpected is bad;
Always making others, not themselves, feel sad.
