What about WP? Should it go back to Selangor?
What about Labuan? Shouldn't it be reattached to Sabah?
Why only Penang?
PETALING JAYA: Controversial academician Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has come under fire for saying Malaysian Olympic medal winners are unpatriotic and only competing in sports for monetary rewards.
MCA Youth Secretary-General Leong Kim Soon said the article penned by Tee could destroy the harmony and unity of Malaysians. [...]
In his column in a Malay language daily published on Monday, Tee said sports had become a business and also a means to gain popularity. He said it was no longer for patriotism, but only for show.
He wrote that “ultra-kiasu” (mercenary) athletes competed for monetary rewards rather than for patriotic reasons and thus were driven towards individual sports, rather than sports which required teamwork.
Ridhuan, a Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) lecturer, also urged for more diversity among Malaysian athletes.
In response, Leong said sports transcended race and religion.
“Malaysia’s badminton exponents, who coincidentally are ethnic Chinese, united all Malaysians, irrespective of race and religion, during their semi-final and final matches at the Rio Olympics.
“Malaysians were kept glued to their television sets, cheering for our sportsmen and sportswomen. They fully embodied the spirit of solidarity when our badminton players were presented with the precious medals,” said Leong.
The athletes’ passion, skills and hard work were dismissed by Tee, said Leong, “He not only belittled the efforts and hard work of our Olympians, he also insulted everyone across the nation.”

Leong Kim Soon has missed an important point in the lexicon of Ridhuan Tee Abdullah (RTA).
'Ultra kiasu' in RTA's words does not mean 'mercenary'. Indeed not - it specifically means Chinese Malaysians, especially (though not exclusively) those aligned to the DAP. Sometimes he extends 'ultra kiasu' to Chinese Singaporean, wakakaka.
Thus he was criticising ONLY Chinese Malaysian athletes, people like the 6 Chinese Malaysian silver medallists, namely Lee Chong Wei, Goh V Shem, Tan Wee Kiong, Chan Peng Soon, Goh Liu Ying and the Chinese half of the silver-winning diving pair, Cheong Jun Heong.
God forbids RTA dares to or has the balls to question Malay/Bumi athletes like Pandelela Rinong and Azizhasni Awang.
It's rumoured that during RTA's hasty circumcision to desperately become a Muslim, the harassed Ustaz's hand slipped and apart from nipping off the foreskin of RTA's wee weenie, he also accidentally sliced off both of RTA's balls.
RTA just couldn't control his obsessed need to speak out against 6 Chinese Malaysian medallists in the Malaysian contingent to the Olympics in Rio. No one else in Malaysia other than Utusan and Cosmos have noted the distinction of races in the Malaysian winners, thus RTA is in his usual racist company.

There is no one in Malaysia, not even PERKASA or ISMA or low-yat-2 Ismail Sabri Yaakob or Mahathir or any Chinese Malaysians hater, who has attacked, condemned, criticized, blasted, spat at or kicked at Chinese Malaysians more than Ridhuan Tee Abdullah. It has become his sole obsessive fixated objective in his miserable life, to prove to Malays he is a true convertee.
I urge him to forgo his name of Tee because he has been insulting his Chinese ancestor day in and day out. Please change Tee to Taufik or Tambee or Tawab a.s.a.p
