Umno members today burnt an effigy of Machang Bubuk assemblyman Lee Khai Loon, spitting and stepping on it in front of his service centre, for his role in a flash mob last week deriding Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's now famous 'kangkung' speech.
The mob of about 300 gathered at Lee's service centre in Alma, Bukit Mertajam, bearing handwritten placards condemning him. One man was even seen mooning at Lee's portrait.
Some of the placards were pasted on the shutters of an unused shoplot nearby, and the crowd vented their anger against DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang and his son Lim Guan Eng, the Penang Chief Minister.
One of the protesters poured water on a banner bearing the two leaders' faces and a message that read, "Guru yang mengajar MP DAP biadap pada Melayu" (the teacher who taught the DAP MP to be insolent).
The protest comes a day after Penang Umno members protested yesterday in Seberang Jaya with slogans threatening another May 13-style riot, and marched about 1 kilometre towards the Sunway Carnival Mall with banners.
Today's protest was also joined by leaders of several pro-Umno organisations including Penang Malay Congress, Penang Pekida and Perkasa.
They made fiery speeches to defend Najib, whose kangkung (water spinach) analogy has been recently at the centre of cyberspace humour.
Lee had earlier led a flash mob where an effigy of Najib was stuffed with the vegetable. - January 19, 2014.
