What a comment...by Tun M

I woke up this morning, walked downstairs, got the newspaper and started turning the pages.

As usual the headlines...politics of course! And as usual I would just browsed through the headings till this heading caught my attention, 'DR.M: Why must Malay leaders say sorry? If you must know, this is how it goes:

TDrM has questioned why Malay leaders were apologising over a remark deemed as racist by an UMNO leader. He said non-Malay leaders never apologised when similar racists remarks were made by members of their community. ......he cited the case of the Hindraf front and Wong Meng Chee who made the parody of the Negaraku...

Okay I thought, minus the Hindraf case as I do not really understand what had happened then, why is Tun M. comparing our leaders with some kid. And of course Meng Chee has apologised to the whole nation on his action. Why should the non-Malay leaders apologise? On his behalf? They didn't do anything wrong, they didn't ask Meng Chee to sing the song, so why apologise for something you didn't do? Keeps me wondering if one day we commited a crime, do our leaders take the punishment on our behalf?

Coming back to our Malay leaders, they, themselves did something or say something but they have no guts to admit it? Or rather they say they didn't do anything wrong? It's being twisted? It's not wrong, it's the truth? And if you don't like it, so be it? And we have to accept this?

Tun M. what are you talking about? What are you thinking? Or are you thinking? Please...I really cannot agree with you.
