We never ask for it!

I was away in KL for a few days and wasn't in the mood to blog, especially with the usual politicking nonsense we read these days. What really got on me was the staged demonstration against Khalid Ibrahim's proposal to open up UiTM by 10% to non-Malays.

As far as I know, we would not ask for something which we know we could not get, and it was a real surprise that he even thought of that, for us! Even Raja Petra thought he was silly in doing so and suggested whether he could be sabotaging Anwar's chances in Permatang Pauh!

So, Mr. PM for all Malaysians, do what you think is necessary to keep your supporters happy. It is expected of you and all that Umno stands for anyway.

I watched the tv press conference and this spokesman thought he was great in pointing out that Khalid Ibrahim had forgotten that he was a beneficiary of the NEP. Inevitably, the reason (read excuse) was the people are not ready for open competition. When is the right time? I hope we will get some indication from this mother of all by-elections, which essentially is the closest we can get to electing a Prime Minister.
