Selangor MB in firing line by rightists for wanting to turn Chinese new villages into a tourist attraction
SELANGOR Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has apparently been taunted by nationalist-slant groups for “overzealously wanting to lift the status of Chinese new villages” in the state.
In so doing, he has earned the wrath of one rightist for turning a deaf ear to the so-called previous reprimand by Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
“Selangor is a Malay state. Its ruler is Malay. Its B must be Malay. Its (official) language is Malay. It is located in Tanah Melayu,” berated Randuk on his Facebook page.
“The state’s coat of arms is Jawi-based. There’s not a single word of Chinese mentioned in the Federal Constitution nor the Selangor State Constitution.”
In his rant, Randuk went on to give Amirudin who is also the Selangor Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman tongue lashing for what he deemed as “mushrooming of archways to Chinese new villages in Mandarin side-by-side the Selangor state coat of arms without permits” during his reign.
“In fact, there’re lots of Chinese business signs that prosti*ute the Malay language. For your information, all business signs must prioritise our national language in terms of size, position and colour,” fumed the poster.
Kita kena lebih vokal bersuara terhadap MB Selangor YB Amirudin Shari ni. Dah kena marah dengan Sultan Selangor pun tak jalan.
Selangor adalah negeri Melayu. Rajanya Melayu. Menteri Besar nya wajib Melayu. Bahasanya Melayu. Duduknya di Tanah Melayu.
Jata negerinya berteraskan jawi.

“Didn’t the Selangor ruler order the removal of Chinese signs in 2018? I was personally involved in this protest.”
Support pouring in
Delving further, Randuk pointed to Sekinchan whereby for a year now, complaints have been made about signboards in the state being written in Chinese “even though the law requires them to be ONLY in Bahasa Melayu”.
“It’s like Tongsan (slang for China) now. Is Amiruddin the Selangor MB or a DAP puppet? It seems like they’re riding on the tourism industry to prosti*ute the Bahasa Melayu and try to change our country’s identity.”
Like it or not, Randuk was successful in hitting a raw nerve with many like-minded rightists in concordance that the PKR vice-president “truly deserved” the derogatory title of “a DAP lapdog” for undermining the national language/identity.
Others accused the PH-led Selangor state government of having a “hidden agenda to specifically luring Chinese tourists” rather than to make Selangor a global tourism hub.
One netizen claimed that Amirudin “has no love for Selangor as he wasn’t a genuine Selangorian (he grew up in Pontian, Johor) but just a salaried worker”.
“Can the Selangor ruler kindly appoint a Malay child from Selangor?” he pleaded.
Others labelled the state leader as a “traitor to his own race” while a few commenters suggested that it would be more worthwhile to visit China if one wants to view Chinese villages.
Well, narrow-minded or otherwise, this is a major challenge that PH has to anticipate in the 16th General Election (GE16) lest the Opposition will make bigger breakthrough into Selangor. – Nov 14, 2025
PAS &PN have a very good chance to takeover Selangor State Government in the next General Elections.
