UMNO Should Act Against Those Trying To Wreck The Life Of My Young Son With Cruel And Barbaric Lies Just To Finish Me Off Politically To Prove That UMNO Is Not A 3D Party That Employs Desperate Dangerous And Dirty Tactics.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had declared during the Gerakan National Delegates Conference two days ago that BN had not given up on Penang and will go all out to recapture the state from Pakatan Rakyat. Following those Najib’s declaration of intent, we see pro-UMNO blogs and some UMNO leaders carrying out a serial campaign in the internet to systematically not only character assasinate me but also cruelly dragging in my young 16 year old son with their lies.
My wife and I are furious that pro-UMNO blogs and some UMNO leaders have made or perpetuated false allegations against my young son of criminal wrongdoing. My family and I deplore these lies and fabrications against my young son as morally despicable and barbaric. UMNO should act against those trying to wreck the life of my young son with cruel and barbaric lies just to finish me off politically to prove that UMNO is not a 3D party that employs desperate, dangerous and dirty tactics just to cling on and retain power at any cost.
My son had transferred to St Xavier Institution in Penang from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Cina Heng Yee because I had promised him that he could transfer to the school of his choice if he scored at least 6As in his PMR. When he achieved that, he was transferred at the beginning of the school term this year in January 2011. My son wanted to go to St Xavier because he did not want to have his hair crew-cut as is required for Heng Yee students but wanted to keep his hair longer.
In this modern world, it is difficult for a young kid growing up, especially so when his father is a Chief Minister targeted daily by the pro-BN media. For a young kid growing up, to be maligned in such a beastly and cruel fashion publicly is unacceptable and inhumane.
My son is very shaken up by these lies. He has also not gone back to school for two days. I feel sad and that I am not able to protect my young son from these pro-UMNO ferocious beasts.
I urge these ferocious pro-UMNO beasts not to prey on the innocence of my young children. If you want to finish me off, do your worst to me but leave my innocent children alone. UMNO politicians have children too and DAP have never gone for their children and do not intend to so.
Amongst some UMNO leaders who highligted this shameful episode in the blogs is Bukit Gelugor(Penang) UMNO Division vice-chairman Dr Novandri Hasan Basri. He was then followed by many UMNO leaders rehashing the lies. Sadly even UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaludin joined in these shameful lies by poking fun at my son with this tweet:-
@Khairykj Khairy Jamaluddin
@PapaGomo Mungkin dia roboh Kampung Buah Pala sebab nak ganti dengan Kampung Buah Dada.

I hope those poking fun and spreading lies at my young son can look at themselves in the mirror as a father and ask whether they want their own child to suffer the trauma of such lies. My family and I reserve the right to take any further action to protect my family. In the meantime, my wife and I will try to heal my young son and pray that he will recover from having his innocence so cruelly destroyed by these pro-UMNO beasts.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年10月18日在吉隆坡发表声明：
巫统应该采取行动对付那些为了在政治上除掉我、而企图利用残忍及野蛮手法毁坏我儿子一生的人，以证明巫统不是一个不择手段、危险、肮脏的“下三烂政党”。
首相拿督斯里纳吉在两天前，于民政党全国代表大会上宣布，国阵还没有放弃槟城，并且会全力以赴从民联手中重夺政权。纳吉做出上述宣布后，我们看到亲巫统部落客及巫统领袖纷纷在网上有系统地发起一系列的宣传战，他们不只谋杀我的人格，还残酷地用谎言把我16岁的儿子也扯下水。
我和我的妻子都感到非常生气，亲巫统网站及一些巫统领袖不断地诬蔑我的儿子犯罪。我和我的家人对于关于我儿子的诬告感到悲痛，这些谎言及虚构的报道都是卑鄙及野蛮的。巫统应该采取行动对付那些为了在政治上除掉我、而企图利用残忍及野蛮手法毁坏我儿子一生的人，以证明巫统不是一个为了重新夺回政权，而不择手段、危险、肮脏的“下三烂政党”。
我的儿子从恒毅国民型中学转较到圣芳济学校，是因为我答应他，若他在初中评估考试（PMR）中考获6科A的话，他便可以选择自己想要就读的学校。他做到了，于是他便在2011年1月转到新的学校就读。我的儿子选择圣芳济中学是因为他不想如恒毅中学校方所要求的那样剪平头，他希望可以把头发蓄长一点。
这个现代世界对一名成长中的少年并不容易，特别是他的父亲是一名首席部长，日夜被亲国阵的媒体紧紧盯牢。有心人士使用如此无人性、残忍的方式公开地诋毁一名成长中的少年，是不能被接受及野蛮的。
我的儿子因这些谎言感到恐慌，他已经两天没有上学。我本身也很难过，因为我无力保护他不让这些亲巫统的凶恶爪牙伤害。
我促请这些亲巫统的爪牙，别再打我无辜儿子的主意。如果你们要除掉我， 尽管使出你们最恶毒的诡计，但是别碰我的孩子。巫统政治人物也是有儿有女的人，民主行动党从来没有招惹他们的孩子，我们也不想这么做。
在部落格中突显这宗荒唐事件的巫统领袖包括：槟城牛汝莪区部副主席诺万迪里哈山，许多巫统领袖也闻鸡起舞，一起散布谎言。令人遗憾的是，就连巫青团团长凯里加玛鲁丁也加入他们无耻的行列，在他的推特上拿我的儿子开玩笑：
@Khairykj Khairy Jamaluddin
@PapaGomo Mungkin dia roboh Kampung Buah Pala (译：豆蔻村) sebab nak ganti dengan Kampung Buah Dada（译：“胸部”村）.
http://twitter.com/#!/Khairykj/status/125841671102529536
我希望这些散布谎言、拿我儿子开玩笑的人可以扪心自问：身为一名父亲，他们会不会要自己的孩子承受这些谎言带来的创伤？
我和我的家人将保留我们的权利，采取必要的行动来保护我的家人。同时，我和我的妻子会努力护慰我们的儿子，并祈求他能早日恢复被亲巫统爪牙所恶意诋毁的自尊与清白。
林冠英
