Hypocrisy, Umno style

First and foremost. I just have to do this. From the bottom of my sincere heart. Thank you, Ahmad Ismail! I also must thank your 13 merry men. You have just proven to the world what the world has suspected all along. Our racial harmony nothing but a sham.
Ever since Mar 8, I have waited patiently to see when Umno will succumb to its racist mentality. For the rest of hardworking and sincere Umno members, too bad you had to be dragged along for the ride.
I would like to share with the general public what corporate culture instills in us. You as an individual may express your views and your actions are not limited by the company. However, whatever you do while working for a particular company reflects very much on the company itself.
So, you carry your name as well as the company you represent. In this case, Ahmad has expressed his views. Another 13 merry men also stood by Ahmad. It's not difficult to conclude that Umno's policy has been pretty much racist all this while.
I want to stress again that I do unto others what others would unto me. I've already emphasised time and again, that non-Malays are not seeking to steal Malay special rights. What we do care about is how you use it as an excuse to justify racist policies.
For one to purposely deny the rights, freedom and opportunity of another at none of his own expense is very unfair and unjust.
So, Ahmad, you and your 13 merry men would like to rile up racial tension again. Great!
One who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it. Well, what can I say? If anyone has read the small little red book that details the nitty gritty events leading to May 13 1969, it's not difficult to believe the contents of the book now after this debacle involving Ahmad and his 13 merry men.
Well, I do hope May 13 does not repeat. I have high hopes that Malaysians, no matter what ethnic group they belong to, are more mature these days. If it does repeat, then here is something to ponder. Malaysia's future is pretty much doomed.
What took 51 years to accomplish will be lost. We moved 51 steps ahead only to find ourselves sliding down the snake to square one. Our economy will be considerably weaker than it is now. No one wins. Malays may win politically, but eventually lose economically.
However, losing economically will be Malaysia's final blow. It will take at least another generation to bring us back to where we are today. So, to anyone who is prepared to stir up racial tension, by all means, go ahead. No one will win.
On another note, we now see the clearest hypocrisy Umno has ever shown. Umno/BN tells everyone to maintain racial harmony. But we not only see one, but another 13 from Umno ready to create racial unrest.
Anyone deemed as opposing or destabalising the government and peace of the county are often swiftly arrested. Yes, I realise it's highly likely that if Ahmad and his 13 merry men together with their supporters were to be all detained under ISA, Kamunting would be overcrowded. There is no denying this fact. Maybe this is the reason why they weren’t?
Thank you Ahmad. You have pushed Malaysia up one notch to the highest scale on the laugh-o-meter.
