黄和联：要告就告 行动党补选没犯错

砂行动党主席黄和联国州议员要求黄顺舸尽快对外宣布﹐其口述的“恶棍” 所谓何人﹖

（本报民都鲁20日讯）砂行动党主席黄和联国州议员扬言﹐他无须对砂州第二财长拿督斯里黄顺舸或把行动党控上法庭一事做准 备功夫﹐因他强调﹐行动党在诗巫国席补选期间﹐并无犯下错误。

于此﹐他希望黄顺舸铭记行动党国会领袖林吉祥于516诗巫补选获胜后﹐送给黄顺舸作为“生日礼物”的赠言。

“当时﹐黄顺舸在民众会堂的台阶处﹐要求林吉祥不要将西马的政治文化引进砂州﹐而林吉祥就说了‘不要胡说八道’这句话来处理。”

针对砂州第二财政部长拿督斯里黄顺舸于今日的报章上提出﹐或把行动党控上法庭一事﹐其中还指责行动党善于玩弄政治手段﹐并在诗巫国席补选期间发表引起选民 反弹的种种言论。黄和联于今早受邀出席行动党民都鲁支部2010年（第三十一届）常年大会后受访时抨击黄顺舸完全不了解何谓“民主”﹐更不了解何谓选举过 程﹐鉴于此﹐他建议黄顺舸熟读高庭和联邦法院的法律。
