Hard to say I'm sorry

Right. So everyone knows about this man oredi


Unrepentant racist?

Wait. He looks a little familiar, doesn't he? Like a movie star! I think i saw him in a movie very recently! Was it in The Clone Wars?

But moving on.

He called the Malaysians of Chinese ethnicity 'immigrants' who do not deserve equal rights (as reported in a local paper which is linked later in this post).

The DPM apologised on his behalf. He also apologised on behalf of the Malay political party, UMNO (see here).

The PM was of the view that the DPM's action was 'the right thing to do' (see here).

But now, our fren Jabba Ahmad has come out of 'hiding' - and not only does he refuse to apologise, he is demanding that the Chinese community leaders apologise to him (see here)!!!! What the...?????

Further, '...state Umno liaison committee deputy chairman Datuk Abdul Rashid Abdullah said Umno’s 13 divisions in the state supported Ahmad’s decision not to apologise over his remark'.

Oh, it gets better - our former PM who does not know his time is up but still must stick his butt in everything goes public and questions why the Malay leaders should apologise (see here)! His reasoning is that when non-Malays utter racist sentiments, the Chinese leaders do not apologise.

Hello???? In the first place, that is not true. If non-Malays make racist remarks against the Malays, the Malays will take to the streets and riot and perhaps kill. And even if his remark is true - but is strongly denied - does 2 wrongs make a right? Can you justify your wrongdoing by pointing out that others are doing it also?

Is it also not a basic Constitutional law principle that there must be collective responsibility? Should not the political party take a collectiuve responsibility over the wrongdoing of a party member - especially when it was a leader speaking in such capacity?


Doesn't know basic consti principles?

So that's how it is folks. A leader utters racist remarks in public. he refuses to apologise. he demands to be apologised to. His fellow leaders support him. His superiors apologised but their actions are not followed (shows how much respect they have for their party leaders). Former leaders go public and say Malay leaders should not apologise.

Oh, someone was blogging about this and commented what a country we live in. A comment was left asking why he was still in this country. Typical response.

Malaysia boleh!
