Ahmad : Why should I apologize?

One can be excused of not using his/her brain before speaking every once in a while, especially if it was at the spur of the moment, when tensions, excitement and adrenalin is high.

After that, if one were a mature human being, they would reflect on their own actions, conversations throughout the day/week and find ways to improve and possibly correct one's self.

This does not hold true for our BIGOT politicians.... who have been sitting on their high chairs for so long, that they no longer need to check what they say, or do because the law can't touch them!

One week after uttering sedicious remarks that the Chinese community are “immigrants who do not deserve equal rights”, Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail remains unrepentant of what he says, and the investigations against him are painfully slow. It's as if the authorities want the issue to be put to bed, put out of front page news so that they can just drop the charges and leave him be.

These are the *leaders* that are supposed to be safeguarding the rights of all the communities in the country... these are the *leaders* that are quoting the "Constitution" of the country at every turn.

Happy 51st Birthday Malaysia. We've walked 51 years in the wrong direction.
