He was immediately slammed for his ultimate remarks, which indeed do emanate of the same domestic injustice adopted by Prime Minister Najib Razak's ruling United Malays National Organization or Umno.

"Stop politicizing Islam or any sacrament for which matter. This is obviously an choosing tactic expelled by Umno to spin the minds of the Malays opposite the non-Malays. They will attack Pakatan Rakyat especially PAS by mixing competition with religion," Chua Jui Meng, PKR vice president, toldMalaysia Chronicle.

"Tee should just admit he wants to 'bodek' Umno leaders as well as not be hypocritical about it. we don't what he is, but he is the disgrace to both Chinese as well as Malays, Muslim as well as non-Muslims alike. His statements have been self-contradictory. He says Islam taught him which sacrament takes precedence over ethnicity.
