The answer is very simple, Abdullah is weak, not powerful, fear his own subordinates and totally hv no idea how to run our country.

According to this article, "The modern keris has existed since at least the mid 14th Century. It developed in East Java from an earlier form known in Java as the keris buda. The keris buda was preceded by and, coexisted with, a Javanese dagger with a leaf shaped blade which resembled the leaf shaped blades of Indian swords". http://www.vikingsword.com/ethsword/maisey/index.html Virtually all depictions of early keris' have some sort of association with Hindu deities http://www.nikhef.nl/~tonvr/keris/keris1/keris.html So, when Hishamuddin kisses the keris, is he really going back to ancient Hindu heritage?

Pulling out the kris during UMNO assembly only goes to show how coward these people are. If at all the government believed in what they have legislated, this would provide an opportunity for MCA to pull out a Chinese sword at its general assembly, in line with the provisions of the Rukunegara which states that "......membina masyarakat yang ADIL....". So in order to be ADIL, what the Malays can do under the law, the Chinese can follow suit? Only cowards show arrogance!
