I hope the armed forces leader be reprimanded for his statement.We want the armed forces and the police to be apolitical.The police should act if there is a breakdown of law and order.The armed forces should only come in if directed by the ruling government if it is beyond civilian control.Any statement made must not have any politcal connotation as this is a multiracial and multireligious country.Abullah had given his verdict and it should satisfy everyone and we shall wait for the police to take action.It is very sad for the country when one tears a picture of an exMB: perhaps the first in Malaysian modern history.We do not want this incident be repeated and we do not want the government to wait long before forced to take action.There should be no winners inthis type of fight.

MCA president Ong Ka Ting said Umno has honoured the collective decision made by the Barisan Nasional supreme council on Tuesday that stern action should be taken against Ahmad Ismail for his alleged racist remarks.

Three-year suspension from the party, with the possibility of being appointed as an adviser of the Umno branch - Is this a stern action?

Tell this to the Hindraf chaps who are locked up in Kamunting.

Anyway, what do we expect from ‘Ahmad Ismail’ whose name conceals the following messages?
‘Hi I Am A Mad SL’ (SL = sore loser)
‘I M Dial A Sham’

If the division is smart enough to create a new post, like an adviser, I can become an adviser.

“It does not end there and I can even become executive secretary,” said Ahmad.

Squatter Sandiware Part 2–

A police report has been lodged against state Umno liaison secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim for allegedly saying a reporter should be shot, at a press conference last Friday. Komtar assemblyman Ng Wei Aik, who made the report at the Patani road police station on Tuesday, said it was very unbecoming of the Umno leader to have said that if there was any racial tension, a certain reporter should be the first to be shot.

We have yet to see how this Ahmad Ismail factor unravels.

The question of 13 division leader is part of a larger question of post-Ahmad Ismail suspension announcement. The real big question is NOW WHAT?

What is being confirmed by Ahmad Ismail suspension is that the Chinese (as all citizen of this country) have equal right in this land. So when? How?

The post-annoucement Ahmad Ismail press conference confirm that the standard of ‘when the Malay are ready’ is just not good enough. The resistance to change almost immovable and unaccountability is evident. If the resistance is almost immovable then no less than an unstoppable force is needed get to equal rights ultimately.

So MCA, Gerakan, MIC, when and how? Don’t expect my vote unless you answer that.

One of the Sultans made the racial remarks several months ago, suggesting not to question the rights of Malay and non-bumi cannot be treated equal, etc., but no action was taken. That provoked this series of remarks by Ahmad. Ahmad showed no regret as if he is slapping Abdullah and Najiv’s face continuously, right and left sides of the face… If that was the problem between him and Tsu Koon, he should not have dragged UMNO and BN, not to say the whole Chinese and Malay populations, into trouble.
