BERSATU Youth (Armada) chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said yesterday he is ready to face any action if his call for Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P. Waytha Moorthy’s resignation is deemed wrong.

The youth and sports minister said he did not enter politics just to “play safe” or be a “yes man” or just to keep silent or turn a deaf ear to the people’s voice.

“I will never apologise for speaking my mind,” he said in a statement in response to Penang Deputy Chief Minister P. Ramasamy’s call for action against him after Armada submitted a memorandum demanding Waytha Moorthy’s resignation.

Syed Saddiq said he regretted when Armada was accused of betraying Pakatan Harapan and playing up racial sentiments and also likened to Umno and PAS just because it voiced its opinion on the matter.

“This has nothing to do about race. It’s about agreeing to disagree, about not suppressing people’s right to freely express their viewpoints.

“So YB, don’t ever think that you can quieten me down.” – Bernama, December 22, 2018.

  • Small boy just grow up you have damaged the cabinet by your antics, foolishness and immaturity. You are no where near comparing to KJ in fact you are only qualified to carry KJ's boots. You should be the first to be booted out. You are just a pitiful dude trying to wear the oversize shoes that Tun M gave.
