Rais Yatim, Nik Aziz - Eh? Betul ke ni?

1) A big shock and 'shy' I feel seeing what sakmongkol AK47 posted.
A clip of Info Min Rais Yatim attacking a reporter.
Yes, the reporter asked his question in English, so what is wrong with that? He was from an English newspaper, yet the minister railed against him.

We all know as reporters what it is like to be at the receiving end of a lashing from a minister or some senior official.
We cannot fight back because the minister/official will become even more 'violent'. In the end, the reporter always loses - ie can you imagine a minister/senior official saying 'Oh yeah ah poor reporter, I apologise. You were right'.
Worse, if he loses face, the minister/official will report the incident to our bosses - 'Your reporter showed me no respect'.
And not only that, as Information Minister, Rais could even take away our cari makan press pass.


2) And now, just as shocking, ~penarik beca complained here about what Nik Aziz Nik Mat has said.
He basically said something like 'never mind lah if DAP insulted Islam, they're not Muslims so they don't know nothing much'.
Wow.
Has the hatred for Umno so unforgiveable that he will now allow non-Muslims to "insult Islam" openly and say Tidak Apa? - if that is indeed what DAP is doing lah.


Lemme say it again about these two incidents: Well, I never....

Rais Yatim ni bodoh sombong. Opportunis pangkat hiper.

Satu lagi hang pun jangan la terikut ikut nak hasut dan laga antara Melayu ngan Cina.

Kata 1Malaysia tapi di api api dan di kipas kipas cerita palsu.

kluangman,
heehee. konon i terkejut lah!
vids don't lie.

Anon,
not my intention to hasut, but to show, as a media man, the interesting things that people say. people make news, and boy, they do.
cos what rais and pok nik said (if true) are not your usual words from politicians.
the words have implications for the men, their parties, reporters and maybe even the adopted country where i have a house and want to retire in. polemics follow such outbursts.

Few individuals in Singapore were charged for sedition and insulting malays and Islam on their blogs. One was a 17 years teenager and the other was a young man of late 20's.

Both were local chinese. The law is clear...no hassle. Whether these guys do not understand Islam is another matter. Nik Aziz due date has actually expired.But if PAS does not mind being embarassed by his silly comment,so be it.
