In his own Facebook post, Reezal Merican says Tony Pua is mediocre and immature for resorting to name calling
Kepala Batas BN MP Reezal Merican hit out at Tony Pua over the DAP MP’s Sept 29 Facebook posting labelling the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and Malay daily, Utusan Umno’s running dogs. Reezal, in his own Facebook posting this morning, slammed Tony.

Image via imgur.comUmno mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia has once again trained its guns on Tony Pua after the DAP publicity chief's Facebook posting in which he described the Registrar of Societies (RoS) and Utusan Malaysia as running dogs of Umno.
“Once again he has shown his true colours when he called the RoS and Utusan Malaysia as Umno’s dogs. I don’t know what is Tony Pua’s problem. Is he always disturbed by dreams of animals during his sleep, lacks in affection, has a twisted mind or lacks in good values?
yahoo.comThe columnist added that not all Malaysians can be blindfolded to the extent of not being able to see manipulation. "Pua's strategy to blame ROS and media like Utusan for the weakness of his own party will not cover up the truth," he went on.
yahoo.comThe columnist also challenged DAP to prove itself as a political party having class and integrity and not through "extreme actions" which humiliate Pua and the party. "His rough words are like the disgusting graffiti on the wall of a public toilet, reflecting the scribbler as one of low morals."

Pua said the Bahasa Malaysia daily had for weeks been suggesting that the party's secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, veteran member and adviser Lim Kit Siang and several of its top leaders would be discarded by delegates in the central executive committee (CEC) polls.

He said the outcome, however, proved Utusan to be "a frivolous gossip rag and nothing but an unscrupulous Umno mouthpiece".
"So where was I wrong in what I said? Our DAP delegates made Utusan swallow its own vomit and forced them to eat humble pie, and that is the reality," he said.

"My colours have remained true and the same, dulu, kini dan selamanya. So, I would like to thank Utusan for pointing out the obvious," he said in taking a jibe at the daily.
