Right or wrong is the only criterion — Sakmongkol AK47 September 3, 2010 by admin Filed under English Version 2 Comments SEPT 1 — A group of teenagers in western New York have been accused of harassing members of a mosque by yelling obscenities and insults during evening prayers for Ramadan, sideswiping a worshiper with a vehicle and firing a shotgun outside, the authorities said yesterday. The teenagers were chased and cornered by members of the mosque, who held them for the police. They were charged with disrupting a religious service, a misdemeanor. The above report appeared in the New York Times. America it seems, despite the so many contradictions in its social life, is able to distinguish between what is right and wrong. Malaysia compares unfavourably in this department. In fact this government appears hesitant when dealing with racism-inspired attacks against it. Instead it goes all out to appease the other side in an elaborate exercise that can only be considered as catharsis. The government leadership thinks by appeasing the other side, it’s cleansing itself from guilt. Because anything the government does is judged on the basis of whether what they do is racist or not. The government has been accused of so many racist-based actions. Hence custodial deaths are seen as the work of some shadowy Malay extremists and scum; the death of an aide to a politician is judged as something done by an oppressive Malay organisation; and how the government handles abuses against the religion of Islam will be seen only in terms of whether its actions are race based. People forget that the most important criterion in judging transgressions, crimes and wrongs committed is whether they are right or wrong. No moral pontificating, no winding analyses by political windbags and no noises from self-anointed “civil rights” spokesmen. If the rapper Namewee has committed a wrong such as can lead to racial upheavals, he should be punished on the basis of whether he has done right or wrong. The fact that he is Chinese is immaterial. I can’t reconcile with this idea, that a Chinese is not capable of being a racist while the government, because it’s controlled by Malays, is forever to be condemned as racist. If this government does anything to non-Malays, it can be considered racist. When two Malay teenagers were caught burning a church in Cheras, the government gave money, and the teenagers were sent to jail for years. When some Chinese boys desecrated a surau in Negeri Sembilan, the parents of these boys asked for forgiveness and the matter was forgotten. When the rapper who claims he is an embodiment of 1 Malaysia appeared in another YouTube flick “doin his f*****g thang” complete with vulgar words and lewd gesticulations, “rights” groups quickly came to his defence. This brings the subject of racism out into the open. It appears only the Malay-led government and Malays in general are capable of racism while non-Malays, because they are in the minority, are absolved from that same charge. It means also that only certain people can be official “victims” of racism, sexism, and similar offences. So when non-Malay leaders justify whatever actions done by these loonies, they justify this on the basis that non-Malays cannot be racists and Malays cannot be race victims. No consciences are enlivened by these so-called leaders of conscience, by the Lim Kit Siangs, by the do-gooders of PKR, and so forth. These frauds assault our sensibilities, threaten, and pontificate, but they do not speak at all to our sense of right and wrong. The porn actor has got it correct this time, if Namewee has done something wrong this time, he must face the music. He is just as capable of committing racism as the Malay boys sentenced to five years’ jail. — sakmongkol.blogspot.com Tags:
