WONG King Wei (DAP-Padungan) is upset over racist remarks made towards him during the delivery of his maiden speech at DUN yesterday.

He was speaking on the issue of statewide transportation system when he chose to cite example of China’s advanced transportation system and questioned when the state will have our very own railway.

Wong then congratulated China for the upcoming launch of their Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway.

During his speech, faint shouts were heard over the live recording which he pointed out to the DUN Speaker Dato Sri Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar was racist in nature.

“This is racist. I’m in Malaysia born in Malaysia I am a Malaysian.

“Withdraw the statement please,” Wong demanded to the other side of the chamber, while requesting that the Speaker switch on the microphone of the person(s) who made the remarks.

Asfia urged him to continue his speech and he continued touching on electricity, treated water supply, centralised sewage system and exorbitant tuition fees imposed by a private universities.

Later in the evening, at around 4:45pm, Wong posted on his Facebook Wall, decrying his experience.

“I gave my very first speech this morning at the Dewan Undangan Negeri and was asked by a BN member to go back to China. This is blatant racist!” said Wong on his Facebook Wall.

The post drew angry response from netizens who also slammed the remarks and chastising the BN member who supposedly uttered the words.
