Don't Twist & Turn, It is Too late!

At yesterday's press conference, Ahmad Ismail received the backing from all 13 Umno divisions from Penang for calling the Chinese in Malaysia immigrants during the recent Permatang Pauh by-election campaign. It is a bad news for Malaysia as these peoples can twist and turn and made good of what Ahmad Ismail has said. I wonder why Ahmad Ismail remained silent for so long if he did not say or mean it? Was it very difficult to clarify immediately after he realised that his statement had been misinterpreted? The truth is probably Ahmad Ismail has to wait until the by election is over so that Umno can win the support from malay by playing up racial topics. Hence, he couldn't afford to apologize then.

Now, the Sinchew reporter has said that she stand by what she heard; and Najib, who was at the seminar has also apologized on behalf of Ahmad Ismail. I don't think the DPM apologized if Ahmad Ismail did not say it. So, has Umno become so arrogant until they can twist and turn in such manner? They can also openly white wash Ahmad Ismail's racist remarks and blaming others for misinterpreting what he meant. Worst still, they can freely come out with all sorts of threatening remarks (even more racist), including shot the sin chew reporter. This is totally an act of animal.

Even is Ahmad Ismail were to apologize now, it is just too late. The apology will be viewed as not sincere and do it under pressure. The harm is in fact can not be undone because the remedial action for the problem is time sensitive.

From this episode, we can tell that Umno's ideology is the thing of the past and they are no longer relevant. These bunch of peoples (those who have the same mindset as the 13 divisions) will speed up the downfall of the Umno empire.
