When You Can't Beat Them, Call Them UnMalaysian

Utter rubbish. Is this what a minister has to show for when his party can't compete in a free for all Internet? Is it me or do I smell a sore loser crying foul?

Bernama today have this headline:

Bashing Govt In Blogs Not Malaysian Culture - Rais

Firstly, blog is a relatively new phenomenon. But the culture of bashing government is neither new nor alien to Malaysia. As a Cultural, Arts and Heritage Minister, I lament at your poor understanding of history or selective memory of what has transpired through the whole 50 years of this nation. Didn't UMNO criticise and oppose the British when they wanted to form Malayan Union? Don't tell me the bullshit, "Oh I forgot or it was during Malaya time."

Bloggers should evaluate themselves before indulging in an unhealthy culture of bashing others, including government leaders, through their blogsites, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said.

"They (bloggers) condemn the prime minister, ministers and other members of the administration but not themselves. As the Malay adage goes, it's pointing the forefinger to the front and thumb to your chest. "I am saying that you should look at your own heart to see if it is clean. If it is not, then don't bash others in your blogs," he said...

Truth hurts isn't it? That's what happen when you lie through your teeth with your mouth wide open and get exposed in public. Ask Mr Big Ears why he conveniently forget that the parliament was dissolved the next day when the day before he claimed it will not be dissolved.

When a minister fails to perform what he/she is tasked to do, are you to tell me we should praise and worship at his/her feet? If the minister did the right thing in the first place, be open, transparent and accountable, do you think the rakyat can't differentiate left from right? Also, who asked them to take up the job if they don't know the description? Ask any customer relationship officer and they will tell you, getting scolded and cursed at is part and parcel of the job. What more a minister holding public office where their bosses are the rakyat? So before you act like kettle calling the pot black, examine your own heart whether it is clean.

"Nowadays, not only the bloggers are having a mental block (disturbed) but the PAS' spiritual leader's mind too is blocked (unstable) when he equated Umno members to orang utan.

"The bloggers are getting bolder, but I see it this way -- the general election is the season for condemning or "killing" others with words but this is not BN culture. I suggest that they attend courses on good manners as good manners is Malaysian culture."

Oh and I guess it is ok when you label others as having mental block? Just like your colleagues who like to call others as penyangak or goblok or monyet? So when a BN person resort to name calling, it is good manners and part of Malaysian culture and being mentally sound? I suggest you announce to the world you have discovered the instant cure for insanity. Try experimenting with Tanjung Rambutan patients by asking them to wear BN logo T-shirts. Afterall, it is free advertisement for BN.

I presume BN are filled with gentlemen and ladies. They don't condemn or kill others with words during election, they just use MSM like some outgoing deputy prime minister saying DAP of inability to keep their own house in order. Or better still, before the election, conveniently circulate books like Fifty Reasons Why Anwar Can't Become Prime Minister. Yup, it is good manners ala BN style.
