MP Tony Pua receives a live bullet and a threatening note for his statement on scrapping Bumiputera discount for luxury and commercial properties above RM500k.
Is this what Umno Ahmad Maslan meant when he advised Pua not to 'play with fire'? It looks like someone in Johor has taken the remark quite seriously.
Politicians should learn how to debate sensibly and respectfully. However, the death threat should be taken seriously. Moreover, indirectly and whether Umno likes it or not, the threat has dented the party's credibility with even more voters.
Public perception of the party is so poor that an act like this, although may not be directly linked to the party, will affect the party's credibility the same. It means Umno should seek out the culprit and kick his ass for creating another perception problem for the party.
BN or Umno must be confident enough to engage with their competitors through healthy and clean competitions. Ultimately, the party can only win back lost support by being responsible and reasonable.
Definitely not through hurling threats, abuses or sending death threats.
This is yet another sign of this country going the wrong path.

People like this Mazlan Ahmad(and the like of Ibrahim Ali of PERKASA) are low mentality persons.This gives a very bad impression of muslim and tarnished Islam.They are seen to be hostile people and always utter threats at the slightest inkling of things.What difference is that from a taliban-type of behaviour? or is that the trait of the malay race? Can't you defend or argue out rationally? Is that so-called race supremacy(ketuanan melayu) that you are so untouchable?
"Moreover, indirectly and whether Umno likes it or not, the threat has dented the party's credibility with even more voters."
Since when they had credibility to lose.
Hi everyone,
It seems that UMNO and BN keep on shooting their own foot!!
With characters, like Ahmad Maslan and other UMNOputras, spinning that Tony Pua has questioned the constitutional rights of the Malays when he urged that the 7% discount for houses worth more than RM500 000 and commercial premises of more than RM2 million be reviewed, and instead, be rechanneled to help the 'poorer' segments of the population, particularly the Malays, it is little wonder that the Singaporean Malays look on their brethens across the causeway as "malas dan manja". BTW, may I ask which article in the constitution are they referring to?
Then, we have the I.O., of no less a rank than an ASP,in TBH's case, who admitted that he didn't realise the significance of the alleged suicide note a year ago is so so very hard to believe!! All items in the sling bag would have been inventoried immediately, and each item scrutinised and examined in all such cases, more so in such a very high-profile case!!
Suspicion is further fanned by the fact that the AG office took 10 months (since Oct 2009)to then realise its significance in the case! By then, authentic or otherwise, which is not for the AG to decide anyway, a 'miscarriage' of justice has occurred!! Moreover, how is it that Ezam fellow and other UMNO bloggers knew of the note before even the announcement by the AG of its existence?
Moreover, does it take that long to determine the authencity of the hand-written note? Also, is it mere coincidence that this note is revealed on the 'eve' of when the Thai forensic expert is scheduled to appear in court?
Is UMNO so naive to believe that the people would believe them, or is it a case of sheer desperation in TBH's case that they keep shooting their own foot?
UMNO is the voice of rich, connected and greedy Malays. It makes sense to help the poor financially more by removing the discounts given to the rich. No matter how you slice it, it is the right thing to do.
This bullet thing, I bet my bottom dollar it is another UMNO's dirty tricks.
I would also wager by GE13, if god blesses us with a political wind of change, every Malaysian will get a bullet in their mailbox. UMNO won't go down peacefully. And they certainly won't have any trouble going down the violent and unlawful route.
Hi KHOO,
As much as this piece of NEWS comes a SHOCKER to many (including myself), somehow I have an EERIE FEELING it's all a PRE-PLANNED PERFORMANCE.
There's a saying which goes "POLITICIANS ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE TO EXECUTE THE OUT OF THE ORDINARY STUNTS SIMPLY FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN"
Could TONY PUA be the one who STAGED his OWN SELF THREAT??? Could TONY PUA be the one who send himself the LOVE LETTER + the BULLET??? Could this be an act of DESPERATION to GARNER sympathy from 'the rakyat', while making TONY's rival as the CULPRIT??? Could this be an act of KILLING 2 BIRDS with 1 slice of a PAPER???
Let us NOT simply JUMP to the conclusion like MANY people here. These people LACK wisdom (let alone intelligence)
We ought to ADOPT some WISDOM before we make proper JUDGEMENT on an issue. Don't BLINDLY jump into a POOL just becos' we can see the DEPTH of the pool. It's all a MYSTERY, correct???
It's VERY, VERY EASY to stage a SELF THREAT attempt, while it VERY, VERY DIFFICULT to get hold of a LIVE BULLET.
Let's weigh on the TRUTH vs FICTION properly, yeah???
WhatTOKZ says above, blaming Tony Pua for staging his own death threat reminds me of how Mahathir conveniently told the country and the world that Anwar punched himself in the eye when the black eye incident became public! How low can people like TOKZ and his hero Mahathir go? And what has that mamak got to say on his bold assertion after ex-IGP confessed that he was the one who punched Anwar? UMNO and their goons like TOKZ shot themselves in the foot with stupid statements like these!
Hi everyone,
I am confident that TOKZ is very aware that it is a criminal offence to lodge a false police report. Is he accusing Tony Pua of making a false police report?
People like TOKZ are helping UMNO and BN to shoot their own foot every time they open their mouth!!
Let TOKZ and the likes of him continue to spin and comment as they're helping the people to realise the need and urgency of a 2-party system in Parliament and the States which would afford the people a choice of throwing out the incumbent party for non-performance!!
Seems like getting a live bullet sent to you is becoming very common in malaysia.
Ya,this TOKZ fler is talking cock(shit).Why don't you comment on that Mazlan fler who is trying to fan hatred and using threat word like "jangan main api".What is so wrong of Tony Pua to comment on the abolishment of discount for luxury property purchase for bumiputra?If you think his comment is unjustified,then reason out rationally.TOKZ,your name sounded like 'talk cock',can't blame you.
What Tony said is to HELP the poor Malay. And only for their own race.
Is it wrong to help your own race??
He only mention "poor Malays" & nothing more & that brainless bum says 'not to play with fire'...???
That bum being in UMNO should be agreeing as this is what UMNO is all about...!!!!
Waaaaaahh....!
Must be damn wrong till Tony gets a bullet for asking "them" to help their own..!!!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk...!
