00:00DAP's Ong Kian-Ming called tone-deaf the celebratory social media posts over the High Court's

00:05dismissal of Najib Razak's bid to serve his SRC international sentence under house arrest,

00:11saying they ignored Malay community sensitivities about humiliating a former prime minister.

00:16The former Bangi MP said many did not want leaders of a party they already disliked celebrating

00:21the decision, especially amid ongoing racial and religious divisions after the cabinet

00:26reshuffled.

00:27Ong warned such remarks added fuel to the fire and could weaken the government's ability

00:32to function effectively.

00:34He also said they could threaten an electoral agreement between Paketan Harapan and Barca

00:38National and push BN closer to Perikatan National.

00:42Yesterday, Ong's party colleague, Yo Bi Yin, wrote another reason to celebrate this year's

00:48end, following the court's decision.

00:50Her comment drew the ire of UMNO Secretary-General Ashraf Wajdi Dusuki, who described her as being

00:56very rude and inhumane.
