KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — Datuk Bung Moktar Radin tweeted a salute to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler today, presumably after Germany thrashed Brazil 7-1 in the World Cup 2014 semi-final early this morning.

The Barisan Nasional (BN) Kinabatangan MP’s salute led many Twitter users to chastise him. An unrepentant Bung then heaped abuse on them.

“Well done… Bravo… Long live Hitler…” tweeted Bung early this morning on his social media account @MyKinabatangan.

The tweet has since been reposted over 140 times.

Austrian-born Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany between 1934 and 1945, and was at the centre of World War II.

Hitler was also behind the Holocaust, the mass extermination and execution of millions of European Jews in concentration camps.

When a user @An____________ replied, implying that Bung’s remark was a result of him “sniffing glue”, the BN MP retorted: “Mungkin kamu mcm P Ramasammy baru minum todi.”

“Maybe you are like P Ramasamy after drinking toddy,” said his reply translated from Malay, referring to the Penang Deputy Chief Minister.

Ramasamy, who is Batu Kawan MP, had challenged Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin last Sunday to “bring [on] May 13” in response to the deputy prime minister’s remark on the deadly interracial clash between Malays and Chinese 45 years ago.

When another user @redzwanrashid mentioned that he was “not surprised” of such remark coming from Bung, the latter shot back “Whatever.”

DAP’s Serdang MP Dr Ong Kian Ming has since called the remark “Disgraceful tweet by an ignorant MP”.

Meanwhile, Selangor Speaker Hannah Yeoh tweeted “Well done BN, Long live BN!” in response to Bung.

At the time of writing, Bung still could not be reached by The Malay Mail Online for clarification on his tweet.

Bung is no stranger to controversy with his politically incorrect and sexist remarks.

He had previously in Parliament mentioned women’s menstruation in reference to another MP, and criticised women drivers.
