Under fire for threatening to "chop off" the heads of those who ridicule Islam and the Selangor sultan, Perkasa information chief Ruslan Kassim now claimed the remark was just a figure of speech.

Instead of decapitation, the fiery orator said that what he meant to say was to "kill" the political careers of four PAS parliamentarians - Khalid Samad (Shah Alam), Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud (Kota Raja), Hanipa Maidin (Sepang) and Che Rosli Che Mat (Hulu Langat).
