Talking cock – a part of daily political life?

Normally I would have just skipped over something like this. But today’s story on page N14 of The Star just made me want to puke and laugh at the same time and that they will tell you is not a good prognosis at all for a citizen of any country when reading about their government.

Some days ago The Herald allegedly published an article on the Permatang Pauh by-election. This was deemed to be outside the parameters of its publishing licence which supposedly allowed it only to publish articles and editorials on religion.

Syed Hamid, the Home Minister said that the Catholic newsletter The Herald should provide information on only religious issues if that is the term stipulated in its publishing licence. Okay. Fair enough.

Then this Y.B. goes on to put his foot further into his big mouth by saying that the Herald’s editor’s excuse that the newsletter discussed politics as it was part of daily life (isn’t it? – Niamah!!!) was not good enough. “If we start to interpret, every matter can be broadened; fighting and public demonstration can also he part of daily life.” Huh???!!! But when you think about what’s happened in the past few days isn’t public demonstrations especially by frenzied bigoted mobs a part of daily Malaysian life? No? Could have fooled me!

Anyway, I apologise. I am digressing from the real reason why I am writing this post. After saying all that rubbish this Home Minister fellow, who should really just go home and stay there, admitted that he did not know what the Herald had written or was going to write but he also did not deny that warning letters had been sent to the newsletter’s editors. What the F**K!!! Don’t know anything but want to tokkok issit?

The Y.B. also ended his comment on another matter by saying that “…if we do not put our security perspectives in gear, we may just be caught off -guard.” Yeah? Maybe this Syed goondu should engage his brain before opening his mouth isn’t it?

Niamah!!!
