I'm done keeping myself silence over the current politic issue in Malaysia. For the past few months, so much had happened and I do not know what to talk about or where to start.
So, the latest is about a racial remark made by Datuk Ahmad Ismail, calling Chinese are squatters in this country, and therefore deserve no equality. Below are the chain of things happened :-
1) Datuk Ahmad Ismail said Chinese are squatters in Malaysia
2) MCA, Gerakan request for an apology
3) Datuk Ahmad Ismail insists, he made no mistake and therefore won't apologize (He never deny he made such statement)
4) UMNO stripped Datuk Ahmad Ismail posts and suspended for 3 years (No ISA involvement, eventhough he made such remark that threats the national security. So weird)
5) Datuk Ahmad Ismail accepted the punishment but stays defiant (Still not denying he made suck remark)
6) Sin Chiew News reporter, H.C Tan arrested under ISA (Held under ISA because her life is threatened? Where is our police?)
7) Seputeh MP's Teresa Kok arrested under ISA, because of her comments on mosques and the Azan (How about Datuk Khir Toyo whom first made the allegations against Teresa? No ISA acts on him?)
8) Malaysia Today's blogger, Raja Petra also arrested under ISA, for incite racist feelings (How come Datuk Ahmad is not arrested under ISA when making racial remarks?)
I was hoping, someone with very good idea can come out to justify my questions on what's happening. Bare in mind, there'll be more questions though. LoL.

Hello Ricc,
From my interaction with various friends of all colours, I've come to conclusion:
1. Ahmad's 'squatters' was referring to history. It was stupid of him to make that remark, not knowing that people would make connextion with the present time.
2.MCA, Gerakan asks for apology. Koh Tsu Koon has an axe to grind with Ahmad Ismail. No love lost between these two fellas. Koh's constituency was under ambit of UMNO Bukit Bendera (Ahmad's domain)
3. In historical context generally speaking, he made no mistake in making the sweeping statement. (Like some people would say Chinese are greedy, etc)
4. Ahmad lost big time, lost money, lost opportunity to retain or contest in UMNO for next 3 years. To an UMNO guy, this is the ultimate loss.
5. Thence defiant.
6. We wonder if Sin Chew reporter write out the historical context for the sweeping statement?
7. Many non Muslim do not know if they have issues with this matter, they should refer to the highest Muslim authority (not some local ulama).
8. RPK was accused of against Hadith.
Mind you, I am not a member of other BN or PR. I'm just a Malaysian with my eyes wide open to the chasm in Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak included.)
