A storm is brewing in Malaysia.
TV3 is playing the racial cards. Politicians of the weaker National Front is picking on a particular group. Even if you have skin as thick as Samy Vellu's, you could still feel the heat, based on the asinine and bias news reporting.
The sudden upheaval of the pig farming issue in Selangor is a case in point. Approval of land use was obtained on 30 January 2008. I wonder why they have made this into a big issue now. It's past 3 months!
TV3 playing with racial issuesI would rather avoid passing any judgment on this sensitive matter. But when Noh Omar, one of the less bright MPs of the National Front, mentioned that "the pig farm can be relocated to Pulau Ketam where there is a majority of Chinese", you couldn't help but think of him in either character; a racist or thick. "Singapore would have reared pigs if it could be done efficiently", confirmed he was the latter.
Noh Omar
Observing the political development from outside Malaysia, the National Front did sound like, "You don't vote me, I don't friend you!"

Let the storm be bigger and more outrageous.The annual Penang bridge run was cancelled becoz penang fell to opposition and the new elected Tourism minister aka a 'she-man' wanted to punish the 'u dont vote,u r not my friend' states!
Crap!

my goodness...like kindergarden kids playing masak masak.
grow up ah!
Taking a look around, the way this controversy has developed is quite common among less mature heterogeneous societies. Education is still probably the way to go to get these people to grow up. REAL education, though, not the rote-learning nonsense most local institutions offer. Not to be cheesed off by THAT Oxford person, though. Suppose there's always collateral damage in any process.
