I am of course referring to Najib's comment after DAP's CEC election results...
"DAP does not represent ‘Middle Malaysia’ or the spirit of unity of all races in Malaysia when all eight Malay DAP leaders did not garner enough votes to sit in the party’s central executive committee (CEC) during its congress yesterday..."
Najib: DAP doesn't represent 'Middle Malaysia'
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/216790
I am particularly attracted by a comment by Changeagent in Mkini:
'Najib, why don't you open up Umno memberships to the non-Malays, get them to contest for positions in the supreme council, and then see how many of them win a seat before you comment on another party? By the way, speaking about family dynasty, have you heard of the PM whose father was the second PM, his uncle was the third PM, and his cousin is the Home Minister? His wife is also the Queen of Malaysia.'
Contrast this with an older democracy, a fellow former British colony...
THIS IS INDIA
When Pranab Mukherjee was sworn in as the President of India in July 2012 the world witnessed a Parsi Chief Justice Kapadia swear in a Brahmin President Mukherjee, with a Muslim Vice President Hamid Ansari, a Sikh Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, an Italian-born Catholic chairman of the ruling party Sonia Gandhi, a Dalit Speaker of the Parliament Meira Kumar a Sikh Chief of the Indian Army, General Bikram Singh, an Anglo Indian from Allahabad - Chief of Air Force Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne - (whose son Omar is also a fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force) attending the ceremony . Wonder which other country on this globe has a similar record?
