Did you all not read RPK’s “The real May 13-Part 1″? Ahmad …, whatever his name, is probably the instigator for May 13, the 2nd. That’s why ISA is not used on him, otherwise he would let the cat out of the bag. Umno is hoping his remarks will incite racial riots similar to May 13 of 69 and fall into their trap. So, we should be careful NOT to react violently. Let us use our ‘anger’ in the next election and wipe Umno from the face of this earth.

If you are in a corporate environment and you perform a misconduct, the misconduct can either be classified as a major or minor misconduct. If it’s a major misconduct, the fella just gonna get terminated or dismissed. But if it’s a minor misconduct, most probably the fella will get a warning and a suspension from work. So in this case, seems like causing unnecessary racial tension that can lead to bloody chaos is a minor offence since the fella only got suspended. So is the message here that it’s ok to cause racial issues ??? How much longer are the gutless “so-called-Chinese-representatives” in BN gonna stand this? Shame on them… I’m glad I did not repeat the same mistake of voting from them again last Aug.

I can’t stop laughing everytimes I remembered how Najib appologised and yet this big mouth Ahmad refused to do so. Clearly a slap on BN leaders’ face. Chinese proverb says ” if you cannot handle family issue, how can you handle country issue??”

Look at yourself in the mirror, foreigner. Look who’s making innuendoes and childish comments. Don’t be like your hero mamakthir who steadfastedly refuses to acknowledge the errors of his ways.

just watched malaysiakini TV “This is what Ahmad said..” What’s the relevance of telling early education by Chinese from British? It is racist remarks when speaking in front of his kumpulan only. If he didn’t mean it, he should have spoken in front of multiracial crowd.

This is precisely the type of action that had put me off the ruling coalition over the years.
A set of privileged and elitist rules for the UMNOputras.
The worst is that they have the police and judiciary in their pocket and can get away with murder, figuratively speaking – or is it otherwise now as well.
And so, as with many who voted the PR on March 8th and have moral misgivings with regards 916, I’m praying Anwar will manage to pull it off and show those goons the door.
Then , the new Malaysia that many of us are hoping for shall dawn.

Ha ha ha ha ha! What a joke! What a farce!

I think the whole name calling thing was a non-issue. I have been called names for decades, but has it made me any less a man or a citizen?

Why are you guys so weak that statements made by a nobody like Ahmad Ismail can affect you? Does the fact that Ahmad Ismail call you a non-citizen, make you a non-citizen? His statements can only affect you if you allow it to affect you. And by allowing it to, you have made him larger and more famous. He will one day come back as CM of Penang. It will no longer be a Gerakan CM. He will be the hero.

His sentence? I think its a real joke. It’s like the “lesser” citizens are asking their big brother to discipline Ahmad Ismail for his words.

Its like a sibling running to Mummy to ask mummy to punish Koko for what Koko said. Sounds familiar? Since everyone waited for that to happen, That only means you are lesser citizens! Kapish?

And you allowed it to happen to you.

If a riot does break out due to Ah Mad’s words, then this Ah Mad should be given 2 years’ jail and 2 strokes of the cane or a 50% discount if he “pohon maaf” !

Ahmad Ismail punishment is purely public symbolism not real of course. So how do one turn public symbolism into something real i.e., hypocrisy back to the hypocrite?

Answer: By drumming the beat of that public symbol. At least publicly non-bumis is declared entitled to equal rights and the drumming of this point cannot be let off. In order we need a broad long term anti-Ahmad Ismail campaign. Keep drumming equal rights for everyone and eventually it will happen. So everyone especially Hindraf should as part of their cause keep drumming the message ‘don let Ahmad Ismail dream come true’.

Bravo Gusto Zak, there you go, its alright except ur opinion at times are incomprehensible? Like any brainstorming session we need someone like you to play the Devil’s Advocate role? You’re perfect for this role, keep it up.

Some people still attracted by the decoy, it is donkey in disguise of a horse and it not a thoroughbred too but a rojak and it has lead the herd for 20 over years.

meee heee or heeeee ho

your choice

why is every body assuming that the nkp club is the de facto authority for the nation,,,hey it only a club decision , we need the association decision….it is his club business what they had in store for him. What is in store for the association is the question and still left unanswered…the m see hair is seen again confused and assumed to speak for all by literally accepting a decision made privately of their master’s gang. It is another classic admission to all the tuanan syndrome of the bee end regime.

So far botak dont know what to say, it appears there will be tendencies where conflight of interest will prevail in whatever decision he has in his pea brain. He is also a member of that club which houses many loud mouth like this one and so far all are scot free and pristine condition.

lets see if others can embrace change

opps..typing error….

UMNO Supreme council’s meeting deciding on Ahmad’s case should be attended by observers from BN component parties to ensure that it is not just ’sandiwara’ , its transparency and actual stand of UMNO on this case.

It is just another ‘SANDIWARA’.

LKS,
Yes I definitely agree that Datuk Ahmad has gone overboard this time and he deserves the punishment meeted to him. But before you too go overboard about him, maybe you should be more concerned with your own backyard.

At least UMNO has taken the rather quick decision to punish Ahmad. What is PKR, DAP and PAS (PR) doing about their members and leaders who were present at the Bar Council forum?? The only lame item I’ve heard so far is the issuance of a show cause letter.. and that happened after about a month! That must be even more `lame’ compared to the 3 year suspension meeted to Datuk Ahmad don’t you think so? Why is DAP not pushing your PKR and PAS partners to punish their members?? Or is DAP too scared to speak out against their partners?

Malaysia can no longer afford to play race based politics, the country is facing very stiff global competition.We must unite Malaysians of all races & religions together to become a single competitive force. Look at our currency today 1Sing dollar = 2.4 ringgit (In 1970′s you could use them interchangeably!)!!! Our income per capita is 4 or 5 times LESS than Singapore!!!
Malaysia must change quick to catch up!

France has been one stubborn country against the English language but yet in view of fast global development, they are willing to make amend today. Their education ministry is proposing for school to give additional English lessons after normal school hours (NOT THE SUPER STUPID WAY BY CHANGING SCIENCE & MATHS SUBJECTS INTO ENGLISH) and provide further intensive English proficiency courses during the Winter & Summer holidays. I’m sure Malaysia is not that stubborn to change.

Yes, together we can catch up! All the best to all Malaysians!!!

Sounds more like a 3 years fully paid leave to me. Can imagine…

Datuk AI to PM: “I have done my job. I want my reward.”

PM to Datuk AI: “Sure. Tomorrow we announce your ‘suspension’ for 3 years. But you know lah, not really a suspension. Just to please the people we have done something. We can’t drag this any longer. It would have been 6 years for you if the plot worked.”

Please don’t lose sight of the big picture – BN is in deep trouble, especially UMNO. The cheeky way out is resorting to 68′ and 88′ method by arousing Malay sendiments against the Chinese ie manage by fear. Ahmad is the front runner this time but you can easily smell Mahathir all over the place.

See how subtle he is putting his foot in again -

Malays from PAS & PKR should counter his argument and make sure Malaysians of all races and religions are not fooled.
