Dr M: Why must Malay leaders say sorry?

Eddy said: Given that UMNO is still the largest political party in the nation and which is still in power, how the heck you compared the influential of the words coming out from the mouth of its leader and some daring song from a youngster and
some stupidity acts from a group of fanatic people. Not Apple to Apple, dude. It's like durian to langsat comparison.

And on top of that, Najib doing quite well in being a role model (or he just try to cover his own as*es) and demonstrated that leaders do apologized (Well, although most of them did and that seems like the only thing they are very good at).






PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned why Malay leaders were apologising over a remark deemed as racist by an Umno leader.

He said non-Malay leaders never apologised when similar racist remarks were made by members of their community.

The former prime minister said in his blog (www.chedet.com) the Malays were so scared of being labelled racist that they even wrote in Malay papers that the Malays were not racists.

He was referring to the apology by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak made on behalf of Umno over a racist statement by Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail.

He cited the case of the Hindu Right Action Front, he said so many allegations including Islamist extremism and ethnic cleansing were hurled against the Malays.

However, no one demanded apologies from leaders of the non-Malay community.

He also cited the case of Wee Meng Chee who made parody of the Negaraku and poking fun at the call for prayers but there was no apology from leaders of the community over Wee’s actions.
