KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — M. Kulasegaran has failed to behave as a Cabinet member, Tan Sri Rais Yatim said today amid the brouhaha on the human resources minister’s alleged “pendatang” comments.
Rais, who is a member of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM), tweeted a picture of local daily Sinar Harian’s front page today with the headline “Desak Letak Jawatan” (Demands to Quit) that featured Umno Youth’s call for the DAP leader to resign as minister for allegedly calling the Malays “pendatang” (immigrants).
“When a minister or civil servant is urged to quit because of his ‘mulut celupar’ (rudeness) about an issue with a negative impact on the nation, the implications are huge.
“This minister has lost his credibility because he is unable to present himself as a Cabinet member,” Rais tweeted in Malay.

Who is Rais Yatim to talk about Kula?
Prior to GE14, Rais was in UMNO but tap-dancing through the tulips when he sensed Mahathir was doing great guns, thus just before GE14 was called for, he jumped ship and joined Pribumi, another racist organisation (from same DNA).
After not being appointed to anything anywhere following Pakatan's victory, he participated in an UMNO-PAS protest.
He should STFU and return to UMNO.
