'Pakatan price hikes' is Umno's kangkung logic
YOURSAY 'Umno cronies monopolise things like drugs, rice and sugar and hence these prices keep on going up and never come down.'
So now price hikes are Pakatan's fault?
CiViC: So according to Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, prices going up is Pakatan's fault. Kangkung prices coming down is to BN's credit? This is coming from people managing a country. Go figure.
Apa Nama: Tengku Adnan, if pro opposition middlemen are really increasing price as you claim, then the enforcement units under your cartoon government could certainly move in and start to take action against them. Your cartoon government has all the power at your disposal to prosecute these culprits, either selectively or otherwise.
So do not just complain. Take action before you open your mouth. Do not make jokes and make our country become more cartoon in the eyes of the outside world. Your boss already makes us a cartoon joker country through BBC.
I notice you are fast becoming a stupid minister. Time to retire and stay at home to play with your grandchildren. Please use your intelligence when making public statements.
Pemerhati: As usual Tengku Adnan talks nonsense and tries to hide the truth. The prices of things that are not controlled by Umno and their cronies fluctuate according to supply and demand. Thus if there is plenty of rain and floods the vegetable supply will be reduced and prices will go up. When things return to normal the supply will increase and the prices will come down.
But the Umno cronies have monopolies on things like drugs, rice and sugar and hence these prices keep on going up and never come down.
Anonymous #74536756 : Kun Nan is a kangkung minister, hollow like a kangkung which has no substance to stand up, and just creeps on the ground.
Abu Hasan Adam: Every comment from a leader has to be seen to display intelligence and not narrow and rigid mentality.
1960's: I have said this many times: since when has BN spoken anything logical, except cow logic and now kangkung logic, from the PM to the ministers, deputy ministers, rent seeker, cronies and all?
Oh Ya?: He has made too many unfounded allegations, which is very unbecoming of him as a minister. He should apologise or be sacked.
Anonymous$&@?: Umno ministers all have kangkung brains
PKR: Will Najib, IGP act against Umno's incitement?
Kangkung: As (the pro-kangkung protest) was an Umno event, no action will be taken. Umno is above all laws, they have immunity from everything and that includes embezzlement, inciting racial riots, making threats, making racist comments etc. The inspector-general of police (IGP) and attorney-general (AG) being lifetime members of Umno will ensure the opposition gets the blame.
Apa Nama: Was May 13, 1969 started due to this humble water spinach? Is it due to shortage of or the high price of this vegetable during that time? BN cabinet ministers, please answer this question if you are smart enough.
Paul Warren: Err, did they give the 10-day notice to the police about this assembly? Obviously if the police say nothing (about this protest) then the police admit that that piece of law only applies to everyone else, and not to Umno. Or that they don't have the wherewithal under their pants to do their job.
Ramesh Rajaratnam: First, numerous police reports must be lodged so that nobody can say "no report" was lodged so action cannot be taken. Then we should urge the IGP to investigate for sedition. Especially since no notice was given for the illegal assembly?
Well Thats Fantastic : PDRM is another party of BN, no more proof needed!
'Allah' exclusive to Muslims, decrees Agong
Anonymous #33877536: I believe Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was ignorant of the fatwa ruling when he announced the 10-point solution before the Sarawak elections. Probably, it was an election gimmick which the Sarawakians bought without thinking.
Now, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has spoken, the country's monarch. Can one party give in on this issue rather than prolong the issue? Religion and faith comes from our heart and soul and our gods know that.
Apa fasal? :: We must tell religious chauvinists of all varieties that the issue on the use of the word ‘Allah’ is all about race and ethnicity.
The issue is not a theological matter, but rather has been turned by partisan politicians into a pseudo theological matter to take over into religion the politically-inspired attempts to divide Malaysians into two clearly demarcated halves - indigenous/non indigenous and the Muslims/non-Muslims - and to instigate each half at the other.
Old timer: I wonder if Utusan Online got it right? The agong is agong for all rakyat, is he not? Surely, he also cares for non-Muslims, no?
EvenSteven : I don't give a hoot because I neither use the ‘A’ word to refer to my creator, nor use the other 34 words except whilst playing Scrabble (I take it this is allowed or does the fatwa apply to the game too?).
But I do feel some concern for the Sabah and Sarawak Christians and Sikhs. Maybe Umno gives a damn for Christian and Sikh votes, but that would jam to some extent Kedah MB Mukhriz Mahathir's populist thingy . Fed up betul.
Geronimo: The word can only be used by Muslims, or do they mean only Malaysian Muslims, because the world's Muslim community doesn't think so.
SpongeBob: There is a great amount of confusion. Self-interest is at play now. Dirty politics have been crossing over many boundaries. The nation's law is being abused and some are behaving as though they are above the law. The law enforcers and the legal system are slaves to political parties.
All this is because of one political party which has reached its doomsday and is trying very hard to revive its glorious status by using religion as its political tool as a last retort.
Awang Top: There is no point fighting with people who have a siege mentality; you will never be able to talk sense into them.
