We Love Rascists

Forgive me if I misunderstood and got it wrong, but this is the message that is being proclaimed far and wide in our beautiful land of Malaysia.

Ahmad Ismail, the suspended UMNO chief of Bukit Bendara, Penang, was given a warrior's welcome, befitting a national hero, when he turned up for the division's delegates' conference. Ladies and gentlemen, this is our hero, the guy who said publicly that all Chinese are squatters in this country and that we don't deserve any rights.

He was welcomed with cheers, a kompang (drums) troupe and silat performances. The emcee announced that the headdress, shawl and dagger were presented to Ahmad to show that he is a true Malay warrior. Read more in The Star.

The moral to be learned here is, if you want to be recognized as a hero, throw slanderous, racists remarks at one another. Better yet, stab each other with a dagger. This is progress. We have arrived. 

Thank you, Ahmad Ismail, for being such a racist, and causing a young, innocent female reporter to be arrested under ISA for reporting truthfully what you said! Nah!
