KUALA LUMPUR: Umno's Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi has ripped into the Immigration Services Union of Peninsular Malaysia over its criticism of Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi's surprise visits to border checkpoints in the state.

Puad said union president Ajeet Singh Gurbax Singh's remarks reeked of a "denial syndrome" and a "Little Napoleon" mentality.

Yesterday, Ajeet said while Onn Hafiz's frequent checks on border checkpoints were commendable, the menteri besar should also look into other issues affecting Johoreans.
