Reports claiming that Pakatan Harapan will have to get the Election Commission's permission to use a common logo have incensed coalition chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"This morning we heard his (Umno president Najib Abdul Razak's) goons, including the EC chief (Mohd Hashim Abdullah) saying that if we want to use a common symbol, we have to crawl and prostrate in front of this person for permission.
"I want to use a ‘keling’ word. The keling say ‘podah’ (get lost).
"Where is the law (that says we can't use a common logo), this rule was formed this morning," Mahathir said at a fundraiser in Muar this evening.
The word ‘keling’ is considered a derogatory reference for Indians in the modern context, even though it was not originally considered so when the word was first conceived in the 15th century.
It is commonly used among northerners, especially the older generation.
