Malaysian MP Sorry For Hitler Tweet After Germany-Brazil Match

A Malaysian politician said he's sorry for the insensitive Hitler tweet he posted after Germany's World Cup win over Brazil earlier this week, but he's still continuing to draw gasps with his online musings.

Bung Moktar Radin, a member of the United Malays National Organization, took to Twitter Tuesday after Germany beat Brazil 7-1 with the following sentiment:

WELL DONE..BRAVO...LONG LIVE HITLER...

Radin's comment immediately sparked a firestorm of controversy and many profanity laced messages from Germans, leading to a series of tweets from Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

The comments made by Datuk Bung Moktar are unacceptable and wrong, and he will withdraw them.

He does not speak for Malaysia, or for ordinary Malaysians, who understand Europe’s tragic past, and respect its modern unity.

— Mohd Najib Tun Razak (@NajibRazak) July 10, 2014

This should be a time of celebration for Germany, and we wish them all the best in the final.

Radin issued an apology Thursday ...

"I don't know what's wrong with people sometimes," he told the Malaysia Star Online. "Hitler is part of history and the German team fought like how he did."
