      Akmal is recycling old technique of pressing someone profusely apologised at the unintentional mistake committed by them. The civic society and majority of Malaysians accepted their apology and their unintentional mistake. Even PN and PAS is able to understand the situation in fasting month of the purpose of most forgiving and compassionate like most citizens. Akmal harping on it that too in fasting months which is holy month of repentance and sharing. I hope Akmal as a young leader who going to represent Malaysians in totality of all races n religions will portray love peace,caring and forgiving to his followers and the nation rather than arrogance and nonforgiving as if one doesn't do mistake in life. He must remember, he represent every individuals in the country as a politician. He needs everyones vote for him to win. If he is so prejudice, with what face he can approach others, whom he keep condemning them.

      Very sad that such a trivial thing can incite such a vitriolic response from a community leader. What century are we living in where a pair of socks takes the headlines. It’s as if small tiny issues amuse small tiny brains. Akmal seems unable to rise up from his childish concerns into the world of long pants, real grass roots issues where he can move the Rakyat’s well-being FORWARD. Rather than these petty tribal-like tantrums to gain a few Taliban votes.

      Now you know why Malaysia will never get Taylor Swift or other world class artistes to perform in Malaysia. It’s because of low class people like Akmal who will incite people for the slightest personal political gain. Untuk sendiri, sendiri dan sendiri. Why don’t ask China and Xi Jin Peng the Communist Party leader to apologise? He is the leader of all the evil Chinese shoe manufacturers. If he represents UMNO then UMNO hasn’t changed. If UMNO doesn’t disassociate themselves from Akmal and his comments, then UMNO has no one else to blame for its demise.

      "This is harmful and utterly unacceptable behaviour." What does one expect from an UMNO "representative" (please feel free to substitute a more appropriate word)?

      This issue not looking good with this madani government because of one coalition party. More of this will be coming to make people fed up with PH.

      UMNO's old DNA has not changed. It survives on racism in the past and seems not to see the light, If the Youth Wing continues on this path, the Party is doomed. Their young mind is fossilised in the past due to the education system and the indoctrination. They have no vision and no strategic except to stir racial hatred.

      "He added that Akmal’s manipulation of racial and religious sentiment was an outdated strategy that did not suit his youth and today’s era of globalisation" You are absolutely wrong here, Nga. Manipulation of racial and religious sentiment is the cardinal rule UMNO lives by. Its very much alive and kicking! Akmal is not an outlier but the embodiment of it. That is why he is UMNO Youth Chief.

      UMNO youth is helping to dig UMNO's grave. Already the rakyat are pissed off at dirty corruption scandals in the ongoing trials of bossku and the recent partial pardon.

      The same can be said of umno.who's ex-president has cheated the country of billions of ringgit. Lets boycott this political party in the next election unless banners are put up at every branch with apologies for having a criminal as their president. The court's verdict puts his guilt beyond any doubt.

      If Akmal and his ilk want to show how garang they are go to Gaza and fight the Israelis for the Palestinians.

      Some UMNO leaders never grow up. Nothing great from them but keep playing with race and religion that God totally detests. They cause the nation totally backward. They ought be to judged harshly by a just and righteous God for His creation of all races and peoples
