With statements like this coming from “friends”, who needs enemies? I am beginning to wonder if my faith in a two-party system where a certain Chinese-inclined party is part of is totally misplaced. What is the purpose of raising such issues in the Dewan Rakyat which clearly goes against the Federal Constitution, in particular Article 152? I had thought that with the coming of the new guard, a much “softer” image of the party in question will come forth and that they will shed their extreme Chinese chauvinism.
Apparently, I was mistaken. If this continues, I hope that the Pakatan tripartite leadership council will come to a directive disallowing any such statements that reeks of chauvinism to be made by any Pakatan MP….or risk getting censored and kicked out.
The Devils After Power is rearing their ugly head.

I do have a Bahasa Melayu blog but as one can obvious see, it is updated quite sparingly not because I don’t have anything to write about, but because I really dislike using the Blogger posting system. I guess that happens when one is attached to WordPress for far too long.
