Insulting the poor egg

You couldn’t make this up, could you?

All I can say is that some people are easily offended. I think Teresa’s point was that the meals didn’t exactly constitute a balanced diet; neither were they finger-lickin’ good. Know what I mean?

Anyway, it’s the most read article on theSun website! You got to hand it to ‘em… They do know how to keep us entertained… :)

But, more seriously, see Wong Kok Keong’s concern below.

Report lodged against Teresa Kok for insulting egg

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24, 2008) : The Seputeh Umno Youth division lodged a police report today against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, claiming she had insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged.

The division’s deputy head Alawi Dahalin and several other members lodged the report at the Brickfields police station.

Alawi said he had heard Kok complain about the food she was given while detained under the ISA, at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya, shown on the night news on TV on Sept 20, a day after she was released from custody.

He said Kok had said the food she was served was “fit only for dogs”.

“By saying this, she had insulted the police and the poor. Eggs are an important food for low-income earners and the poor. As an elected representative of the people she should not have said that,” he said.

Wong Kok Keong detects a more worrying trend:

While this police report is incredibly idiotic, it actually is symptomatic of a disturbing trend emerging. Every group aligned with the government has now resorted to lodging police reports against others they disagree with or dislike by claiming the others as disturbing the peace, causing social instability, offending this or that religion,etc. And these groups are doing it, however idiotic their complaints may be, because they know the police will take them more seriously. When such a practice is becoming the preferred recourse and supported by the authorities instead of exchange of ideas and debates, it is a sign of a police state in the making.

  • hey, how come the Dalbinder Singh Gill does not have anything to say on this???

    Shouldn’t he make some comments like our beloved PM eat eggs everyday. Teresa should not insult the eggs, else it will be like insulting the beloved PM. Or Teresa represents PR, and since all our nations eat eggs everyday, insulting the eggs is just like insulting the whole nations……So don’t support PR because of this….

    whaaa whaaa whaaa

  • hello Just-want-change

    that Dalbinder singh gill very busy with his chicken farm la. he sells eggs to UMNO!

  • You’ve got give credit to the UMNO … for successfully spinning the whole thing into egg insult. Obviously, it shows the kind of influence the mainstream media still have over the rakyat. They managed to turn the unjustified and inhumane detention of people from ISA into an issue about egg!

    Guys…stay focus. The issue here is ISA which is morally wrong, unjustified, strips a person of his/her diginity and inhumane. ISA needs to be abolished.

    Don’t let them spin it into something else. Don’t help them put Teresa into teh defensive by talking about the egg stuff. Keep the pressure on the government to abolish ISA

  • The government will propose a new law, “Anyone who insults the eggs, be they boiled, scrambled, fried, raw etc. will be detained under your security act (YSA) for one day or a week depending on how crazy the authorities get, in the event, the race aka Humpty Dumpty and he’s army of oval brethren started to climb over the accused wall and throw themselves at him/her”

    …………

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHH (fell from chair). Seriously though, something like this can happen in Bolehland.

  • As usual the UMNO … go … form and not substance. One would think it was the most important agenda today when the country is already in deep s***.

    The Police should set up a special dept just to receive all these nonsensical reports and get on with their main task of keeping criminals at bay and citizens feeling safe!!
