Following his remark, a protest was staged by Penang Perkasa Youth and several Penang UMNO members in front of the state assembly hall. They stormed into the state assembly hall by crashing through the gates of the building.
They have also demanded apology from R.S.N. Rayer.
However, Rayer refused to apologise. Rayer was arrested in a sedition dragnet for his "UMNO celaka" remark under the Sedition Acting and was charged on 27 August 2014.
