Having just said it’s a difficult life when you choose to love a place that doesn’t love you back here is an example in the papers why it is so hard:
The Star reports:
GEORGE TOWN: Komtar assemblyman Ng We Aik has lodged a police report against Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail, who allegedly called the Chinese pendatang (immigrants) during a ceramah in Permatang Pauh on Aug 25.
Why don’t we ever just come out straight, call these morons racists and censure them to hell and back? Oh wait, that would involve a government that actually has a spine and is opposed to these xenophobic behaviours.
Unfortunately for you and me:
“I’ll tell him not to do it again. You know during campaigning all sorts of things can come up. I don’t think he meant it. I’ll make sure to tell him not to say it again.” – PM to instruct Bkt Bendera chief not to repeat remark.
P.S. – somewhat unrelated and for those who are still wondering, Malaysia Today is being blocked back home. You can access the site via http://mt.m2day.org/2008/. kthxbai.
