THE rightist fraternity has apparently hailed New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters who recently faced backlash for characterising a China-born lawmaker as a “loudmouth” whom he urged to “go back to your own country” as “spot on” and reflective of the current situation in Malaysia.
Peters, the leader of the populist New Zealand First party, had made the remarks in response to heckling from Green Party MP Lawrence Xu-Nan who was born in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin but who grew up in East Auckland during a parliamentary debate on the NZ government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The remarks drew flak from fellow lawmakers, including Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, who criticised the “inappropriate attention-seeking comments” and not least a diplomatic protest from the Chinese ambassador Wang Xiaolong.
But while the Kiwis are admonishing Peters for his unkind remarks, rightists here seconded Peters as gauged from comments to a report on Peter’s tirade in the Sinar Harian Facebook page by drawing what is seemingly universal parallels of the Chinese behaviour/attitude.
3R breaches law
“Same attitude, different country” was their instant reaction with one cheeky commenter wondering “maybe NZ has started to feel what the Malays feel”.
“But NZ is luckier because there are no separate schools,” he jibed while another concurred with Peters that “they behave as if the land belongs to their father after being granted citizenship”.
One commenter cynically remarked that “Malaysia is ever prepared to promote such people to be ministers whereby they feel more entitled than the host 😆😆😆”.
Examples rendered to this include the Chinese “harbouring ambition “of seizing Malaysia to become a communist country”, “having no qualms behaving rudely to Malay rulers” or “sharing same traits with the Rohingya who will come to do business but once prosper, will readily climb over the host’s head”.
One cunning rightist challenged DAP as the deemed protector of Chinese interest in Malaysia by insinuating that the party should send a protest letter to rebuke Peters’ the way it has been infuriated by Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s statement that the “Chinese have China”.
Others relished at the prospect that “this must be a case whereby the NZ minister contended that New Zealanders only have New Zealand and it must be protected at all times. 😀😀😀”.
Quite a few rightists painted the scenario as one equivalent of the Malay proverb “seperti kaduk naik junjung. 🫢” which simply means an upstart who forgets where they came from.
One even joked of a potential affiliation between the said China-born lawmaker with the likelihood of “maybe there’s a DAP branch in New Zealand 🤣🤣🤣”.
In short, the rightist fraternity is rejoicing at the prospect that “the entire world has exposed who the Type C is when they got some power 🤣🤣”.
Last but not least, some commenters teased if the NZ Foreign Minister will be subject to 3R (race, religion, royalty) breaches law for racial incitement or would police reports be lodged against him. – Aug 4, 2026
