ATTORNEY-GENERAL Tommy Thomas has had to shift his press conference at the court complex in Kuala Lumpur to another venue this afternoon after a large crowd became unruly, shouting at him to speak in Bahasa Malaysia.

Thomas was supposed to speak to reporters after proceedings at the Sessions and High Courts earlier today, in which former prime minister Najib Razak was charged.

“Cakap Bahasa Melayu,” shouted Umno blogger Papagomo, whose real name is Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris.

This led to several hundred Umno supporters shouting similar taunts at Thomas.

They shouted “Melayu, Melayu, Melayu”. 

Thomas was drowned out and left hurriedly, escorted by security officers.

Papagomo and his men wore black shirts emblazoned with the words “Bumiputera Brotherhood”. – July 4, 2018.

  • Red Shirts, Black Shirts... long past their use-by date. What this excrement-flinging Ketuanan Melayu rabble needs is a quick change of clothes. Polis lokap purple would suit them just fine.

  • Let the duration of court proceeding process run along on its own time and when money are running out you will see all these scumbags fizzle out. The shouting for ketuanan for will also die out. Right now emotions are high and anything will do be it trivial concerns but sure enough a reason for them to create commotions but on any ordinary day when the Malay Drama where actors and actresses dialog in bastardised English , the same group of such scumbag feels so proud that the drama is depicting themselves in line with modern western world and the false sense of success in greater living of the Datuks and families in the drama. Pathetic !!!!. They are doomed in their cause to carry on in the New Malaysia

  • Scumbags showing their stupidity at the courthouse. The moron, Papagomo, is very worried that he will be a "papakedana" when he can no longer get his dedak, that's why he's making so much noise.

  • Keep them out of the building as we would like to follow the case and PCs. Bring in the FRU to deal with these unruly hooligans, for God's sake.
