Comments on: Scenes from Bagan Pinang http://anilnetto.com/malaysian-politics/malaysian-elections/scenes-from-bagan-pinang/ Let justice flow like a mighty river Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:22:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sid http://anilnetto.com/malaysian-politics/malaysian-elections/scenes-from-bagan-pinang/comment-page-1/#comment-33051 Sid Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:37:37 +0000 http://anilnetto.com/?p=15725#comment-33051 Well, being an ethnic Indian, and a Hindu at that; if folks want to run around with a head of a dead cow akin to a paganistic ritual, that honestly does not offend me or anyone else I know. Or are you insinuating Hindu's should lash out at everyone that consumes beef as well? Or have you been indoctrinated that faith must be defended against threats of stupidity? Aren't you part of the problem then? If you actually did your homework, you'd realize most Hindu's weren't affected by a bunch of jokers carrying a cow's head. However, ridiculing a segment of the community seems acceptable apparently. PR's own objective is being jeopardized by folks such as yourself, bringing about baseless accusations, narrow-ed views, and what's worse, disallowing dissent. Why is there so much malice against a check-and-balance system? Why do you want to give so much power and eventually maintain the status quo. Blind faith and a lack of check and balances is what got BN to where it is, are we so foolish enough to repeat that mistake with PR? Personally I'm all for PR, I want a change, but I don't just want a change of faces only. If you honestly believe ridiculing segments of the populace is justified, then you support the exact racism that is currently being practiced. Do not judge others by your own insecurity on the matter Sir. Well, being an ethnic Indian, and a Hindu at that; if folks want to run around with a head of a dead cow akin to a paganistic ritual, that honestly does not offend me or anyone else I know.

Or are you insinuating Hindu’s should lash out at everyone that consumes beef as well? Or have you been indoctrinated that faith must be defended against threats of stupidity? Aren’t you part of the problem then?

If you actually did your homework, you’d realize most Hindu’s weren’t affected by a bunch of jokers carrying a cow’s head. However, ridiculing a segment of the community seems acceptable apparently.

PR’s own objective is being jeopardized by folks such as yourself, bringing about baseless accusations, narrow-ed views, and what’s worse, disallowing dissent. Why is there so much malice against a check-and-balance system? Why do you want to give so much power and eventually maintain the status quo.

Such a shame we did not hear them singing the same tune during a certain cow-head protest protected by both PRDM and Hishamuddin. I feel it is very convenient to target individual bloggers while keeping away from the stench emanating from certain candidates. Is this all Malay Mail and Star teach their journalists?

GANDHI himself has urged that unfair laws need not be followed
its more insulting 2 approve a tamil sch only wen a by-election appears
n 4get abt them till d next election
its un4givable 2 refuse a temple just cos umnoputras dont want it
if d msian indians vote 4 bn in bp, they have only themselves 2 blame if they r marginalised further
if there is no bp election,
if PAS/PR is not contesting in bp,
wud umno/bn give d indians any crumbs
in d form of a tamil sch?

The moment I saw that it gives the feeling that PR bloggers are in desparate situation with no new issues. I watch Anwar speeches and it confirms PR lack of substance in the Bagan Pinang election. Hence, why question, "Is that all that PR can offer". Anil,

Tactics employed at ridiculing a segment of the population into submission is no different then firing racial threats at it. I cannot, for the life of me understand how many of these folks are blind to the fact that they have morphed into the very evil they fight to remove.

I am sad...why? 2. As Bagan Pinang by-election is coming to an end, certain paid bloggers/cyber-commentators/cyber-troopers of a certain party are belittling the Indians in Bagan Pinang in their desperate effort to get votes. 3. The worst example is the condescending manner which Bernard Khoo posted his entry on Friday, October 9, 2009. 4. I strongly believe this kind of lame and childish tactic will backfired and make not just the Indians in BP but Indians in general "menyampah" at Bernard Khoo's party. 5. There was no reason to put up a picture of Gandhi and belittle the Indians in BP by saying "would he be proud of you .." 6. I believe Bagan Pinang have showned the "true face" of who or what Bernard Khoo's party is all about. And their latest tactic is a confirmation to this. 7. There are many more in other pro-PR blogs and forums but I am sure you and other commentators can find out for yourself. 8. Before I go, just want to share a video of the "golden promise" made by Bernard Khoo's party : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhqlN9GXe-A Anil,
