If I were Koh Tsu Koon, after watching TV news on Ahmad Ismail and gang's behaviour, I would take the party out of BN. As someone at a coffee shop said, 'Lin Peh ka lu kong, mah siong ter choot!' which literally means, 'as a father to a son, leave immediately' and I would add, 'if not, I would disown you' after all the insults from left, right and centre. It was his reluctance to face up to Umno that costed Gerakan Penang.
Tony Pua's post on Sept 7 in his blog, is still relevant.
What a difference a day made…
Last night I read The Sun and according to Ms Tan Siok Choo, excerpts in her latest article, 'Politicall bind and tone deaf?' in her column 'Making Sens' http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=25455 :
IRISH author of Gulliver’s Travels and the foremost political satirist of the early 18th century, Jonanthan Swift once wrote: "There’s none so blind as they that won’t see."
“First, a basic rule in politics is subtlety and nuance. Take for example, the suggestion that Ahmad should apologise for his statement on the Chinese being squatters. As every politician in this country should know, there are two types of apologies.
A person can apologise for the statement made. Alternatively, he or she can express regret for the hurt caused by the statement. This means the person implicitly stands by what was said but apologises if the statement was regarded by some as hurtful or offensive. Provided the person trying to make amends is sufficiently contrite and is seen as sincere in trying to ameliorate ruffled feelings, this apology is usually accepted.”
A polite discourse on the matter.
Then this morning I read The Malaysianinsider’s comment http://themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/8714-ahmad-turns-to-divide-and-ruleAhmad
Ms Tan appears too polite and too subtle in her comments for Ahmad's type of behaviour.
Government fed by the people
Career options
I suggest government... because nobody has ever been caught.
