WHAT A CLOWN! 'To me she is a cat' - Ibrahim Ali on French researcher who said Perkasa was over-rated

Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali today said he would reject French researcher Sophie Lemiere’s thesis if he was her PhD examiner.

Ibrahim said this was because her thesis is “biased” and “not truthful”, and as such, “deserves a place in the toilet”.

This is despite him initially saying that he was “not offended at all” over Lemiere’s comment that Perkasa does not deserve the media space it is getting.

Lemiere at a Kuala Lumpur forum on Tuesday had also said that Ibrahim is a “communication genius”.

On this he said: “It is in fact a recognition for me, even though it came from somebody ‘not known and (has) no class’.”

“Her name Lemiere… to me she is a cat. Why didn’t she invite me to the forum?”

He also wished Lemiere (right) ‘a good time in Malaysia and if she wants to date me, anytime, my pleasure”.

Meanwhile, Perkasa secretary general Syed Hassan Syed Ali said the group has the right to occupy space in the media especially if the media is independent.

"You talk about democracy but at the same time deny the rights of others to media coverage, what happened to fundamental rights?" he lashed out in a statement.

Syed Hassan said it would be better for Lemiere to write about the ban on Muslim women wearing headscarves in her native France than to be a "busybody in someone else’s country".

In his tirade against Lemiere, Syed Hassan (left) said that the researcher has ulterior motives in coming to the country.

"As an outsider, you shouldn’t play with fire. You only mix around with non-Malays and as such only hear unfair views on Malay NGOs like Perkasa, Isma and Pekida.

"It could be that you are a Jewish tool to destroy Muslim and Malay political clout," he said.

He said those "using" Lemiere may be doing so because Perkasa, Isma and Pekida are obstacles to gain political support from Muslims and Malays.

He said if Lemiere’s findings that Malay NGOs are engaged in gangsterism are indeed true, then she would have long been "picked up" by Pekida.

"You should be given the boot and banned from ever entering the country again," said Syed Hassan. -Mkini
