		<description>When Hishammuddin took over the leadership of Umno Youth, he was considered as a hot potential candidate for the premiership in the future. But he doesn&#039;t seemed to have inherited the family’s gift for politics, his strange ideas of Malay champion, with the unnecessary antics of brandishing the keris, spell the end for his dream to be the future Prime Minister.</description>

		<description>Umnoputras believe that they live in a different, elevated world than other mortal Malaysians, and are above the law.

Even the Wives of Selangor Assemblymen and MPs followed the SOPs of their husbands - semua pun boleh, tipu, gasak semua, and act without concern about rules and regulations, all can be bent like Beckham.</description>

		<description>HH declared that he was willing to sacrifice his political career for the party. Soooooooooo noble, for someone who said that he will continue to wave and poke an unsheathed keris at Umno GA until the non-Malays are sensitised to the act!

The spirits of his immediate relatives are watching him!</description>

		<description>Hishammuddin should have performed the keris-wielding ceremony closed-door.  There was hardly any need to publicize such an act as people not of the Malay culture might misconstrue it as a threat or an insult to them.</description>

		<description>We are not &quot;GOD&quot;, so we all make mistakes. What is wrong to apologise if a person make mistakes???That is the problem with BN, &quot;apologising&quot; is not thier culture. If this mentality persists, you will see BN loses more seats.

l am sure all Malaysians agreed that the &quot;Kris&quot; were shown in the inappropriate place to pursue personal agenda. But our Krismuddin denied and insisted that the &quot;Kris&quot; showing were to protect malay&#039;s culture. Come on, an uneducated layman easily understood the motive.

Now, l am totally amused that the &quot;apology&quot;was said, again, to protect malay&#039;s culture and Umno.It is hard to accept an apology if it is said merely for other purposes then admitting self-wrong-doing.</description>

		<description>The PR should not only ask federal government to reveal the income tax revenue but also the custom &amp; excise collection from the 5 PR states. The BN government is staffed by &#039;racist politicians&#039; who are good only in &#039;saying good things&#039; to the PM, and are &#039;arrogant&#039; to the rakyat.</description>

		<description>wait.. wait... wait.... did hishamuddin apologise?? i dont think so... i dont even see any coverage or anything that he is apologising, let alone his sincerity.. then najib backed him up but closing the topic forever.. what is the game that they are playing? Malaysia is the best country is the world, but with this kind of torture and tarnishment.. it is closer to hell day by day....  UMMO is using propaganda to separate the malays and other races..  so WHERE IS THE MUHHIBAH SPIRIT THAT HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a fake apology, the Lingam&#039;s type .... looks like it, sounds like it, but definitely not an apology.

After the 2004 GE, HH, KJ, and the whole bunch of Umnoputras were so, soooo arrogant and invincible. They treated non-Malays as najis and dirt, to be trampled upon. Umnoputras then believed that they did not need the votes of non-Malays to continue to rule the nation. The keris was unsheathed and held high menacingly to reinforce &#039;ketuanan Umnoputra&#039; and to threaten non-Malays. Words (which would get normal mortals under ISA) were shouted in front of the entire nation.

What did SIL say during the raising of the keris?

Did they feel sorry about it? Certainly not. Just wayang now to pretend to shed some sorry crocodile tears. They think people are dumb and mudah lupa.</description>

		<description>THIS MAN HAD WIELDED THE KERIS SEVERAL TIMES, WITH EACH TIME KNOWING FULLY WELL THAT HE WAS HURTING THE FEELING OF THE NON-MALAYS!  HE HAD THEN ARROGANTLY CONTINUED TO DO SO WITHOUT SEEING THE NEED TO APOLOGISE.

SO, WHAT FOR APOLOGISE NOW?
APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED!</description>

		<description>Tribal minds minds with ancient ways have no place in times like this in boiling land, loud mouth should just resign from politics and save the apology for his father.
No one will be foolish enough to accept those statements once said cannot be unsaid, no a piece of paper under editing stage but spoke with a loud mouth , all clear and recorded. there is no slip of the tongue nor a fault of his mind, those statements are orchestrated with much thought and unilateral reasoning filled with bias intentions.
There those who were present at that moment, but did nothing and silent , some even gave weight to it too.
I wonder where are these people now.</description>

		<description>He is paving way to be VP of UMNO. I am sure more news will come from him in the next few months so as to catch limelight. UMNO&#039;s election is around the corner..I would rather hear him apologize for the drop in standards of our local universities..Without high quality education provide to the mass, we just could not survive in this globalisation.</description>

		<description>My belated response to this “keris” wielding; I posted the same thing in MT. 

“”Dilemma of the keris. 
At this age, the struggles for Malays are global – Malaysian Malays prosper in London, New York, Singapore, Melbourne. Confine Malays to the backwaters of ulu kampongs and they rebel, not because they reject opportunities, but for far too long they have been treated as a group with very little ability and talent, both to think and to act. Shout “keris” in New York and Melbourne and the people there show you the middle finger. You can’t bring the “keris” to these places. In fact, you don’t need the “keris” anymore. What you need is your intelligence, ingenuity and sweats. 

No, the Malays hadn’t forgotten their race. Why should they? But there is a clear agenda in politics that the Malays see. The Malay race had been the thrusts of independence and formation of Malaysia, well and fine, but now the Malay race is being exploited to support a small group of politicians who regard Malaysia, Malaysians and the Malays as their domain and fiefdom. The Malays are manipulated as the group that helps them to cheat, plunder and pillage, manipulate and destroy. 

This is the same Malays that rebelled against the British. Would the Malays TODAY exchange one master for another? Never, the Malays will never allow that. The also won’t the cheapening and manipulating the symbol of the “keris” for cheap political gains.””

Keris wielding has insulted many people, not just the non-Malays. For example, Hisham’s apology had a “doublespeak.” He apologised to the Malays for failing to “instigate” Malay patriotism with the Keris – another insult, this time to specifically to the Malays. Is he a self-appointed sentinel to the pride of the Malays as much as he was hurting the non-Malays? Won’t that incidence be repeated in future? Won’t the Keris wielding resurfaced in another form(s) in the next General Assembly? That is the question YB Lim KS presented here. The apology had not given us any assurance at all.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t understand why people are still mad about this keris-waving incident. It is one of the factors that brought down UMNO. When he is pressured to apologise, everyone claims he is insincere, but he doesn&#039;t apologise, everyone claims he is arrogant. So exactly what is he expected to do over this incident?

I say, just forget about it get on with other more crucial issues. Frankly, it doesn&#039;t matter what he does or does not do. We don&#039;t like him and we don&#039;t want him. All we want is to kick him out completely.

Just as RPK said, the more UMNO opens their mouths, the deeper the hole they&#039;re digging. I say, let them dig deeper and deeper. The deeper the hole, the easier to bury all of them.</description>
