It was very much like an over hyped movie that you've waited long and patiently for. You queue up in line to get tickets to the first screening in order to have bragging rights that you were one of the first to have watched it, then on openning night you make all the neccessary arrangement up to the point of mapping your journey to the cineplex to avoid any traffic that may cause you to miss the openning credits. At last you are sitted just in time as the first credit begins to roll. With popcorns in your hands and a gleeful smile on your face you begin to focus all your attention and concentration to the movie. As the closing credits roll down you realise it was nothing more than a well marketed under budget movieand cliche filled drama with the same old boring story line.....What a RIP OFF!!!
And that is exactly what it was. After 3 hours of discussion the UMNO Supreme Council finally came to an agreement on the so said stern action against Ahmad as promised by DSAAB.
Here is the 'bargained' stern action that Ahmad got;
- Stripped off all post that is held by him for 3 years,
- Suspension of party membership rights for 3 years.
Amazingly it took 3 hours for a room supposedly filled with intellectual of great wisdom to come up with 2 very light weighted next to nothing action against Ahmad. For the crime of fanning racial tension with racist remarks, the punishment doesn't weight to the crime at all.
Ahmad himself must have been surprised and relieved of such a minimal punishment. Evidently from the almost immediate press conference held by Ahmad, with his ever cocky face still unremorseful and beaming with arrogance, continued his attack on Gerakan President, Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon to step down and still showed defiance that he did no wrong and was justified in his "Chinese are immigrants and squatters in this country and deserve no rights".
Here are some disturbing observation;
- Ahmad accepted the UMNO Supreme Council decision on him but remained unrepentful of his provocative, inflammatory and racist remarks and he will not apologise.
- Ahmad declared that his 'suspension' would not stop him from being active in the party and hinted that if his division was smart enough and created a post for a division advisor, then constitutionally he has every right to hold that post.
- Ahmad announced immediate plans to tour the country and explain to all UMNO divisions on the issue and declared "I promise one thing - I will make a comeback to UMNO".
- Ahmad's immediate press conference held at the UMNO head quarters at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur straight after the UMNO Supreme Council meeting show that he is not a mere one man show 'Rambo' but clearly has powerful UMNO backing, evident as Ahmad's press conference was graced with the presence of UMNO Secretary-General Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor.
- With the announcement of the near nothing discipline action, publicly announcing the 'advisor' loop hole for him to stay active in his party division and the very presence of the UMNO Secretary-General at his press conference makes one think whether all these was actually just an UMNO charade and there is 'more than meets the eye' on the 'pendatang' remark and the not so long ago "Babi balik Cina" Bar Council issue.....Hmm???
- The suspiciously failure of the UMNO Supreme Council to take any action whatsoever against the 13 Penang UMNO division leaders who had supported Ahmad's stance over the justification of his racial slurs.
- Even his 'Datukshit' was not stripped from him. The 'Datuk' title usually are awarded to individuals who have served the country well or have made the country proud may it be in politics, good governance, humanitarian efforts and sports achievements but now there is a new way of getting it, apart of course as we all know...buying it, is to be an UMNO member, then get elected as an MP and then make unity disruptive racial remarks.
- As DSAAB has come out and state publicly many times that the racist remarks made by Ahmad was very provocative and inflammatory which is fanning racial tension and is jeopardising the peace and harmony on the nation, then how come the Homeland Ministry hasn't taken up charges of sedition under the ISA. With his unremorseful defiance and his continued racist mouth shooting off flares, isn't he now considered a threat to national security!!!
All in all, the action taken by the UMNO Supreme Council should be deemed satisfactory cause they can only take action against Ahmad within the law and boundaries of a political party but DSAAB as the head of our country has not taken any action against Ahmad on behalf of the Rakyat against Ahmad's racist slurs in accordance to our nation's laws. Further action by the police and Homeland Ministry should ensue. Failure to do so only would suggest that any person holding an MP post in the ruling coalition party is only bound by the rules and regulations of his/her party and exempted from the laws of Malaysia.
Fair to say that the seriousness of Ahmad's racist remarks has only been punished with a mere, gentle loving tap on the wrist by DSAAB. Day after day, issues after issues, DSAAB has shown that he is an incapable and weak in leading UMNO as president and leading Malaysia as Prime Minister.
The racist Ahmad issue and the action that was taken against him definately is more of 'another slap and egg' in the face of DSAAB. Maybe if DSAAB was to announced that;
- Ahmad will be stripped of his 'Datukshit', and
- further charges of sedition will be taken up against Ahmad under the ISA,
then maybe then he might have earned himself back a little respect from the Rakyat. As he has not, the pitiful DSAAB has instead etched himself in our nation's history and will be a folklore legend of many many years to come as the worst, weakest and most moronic Prime Minister ever to have graced the Commander-in-Chief post of this great country.
