Deafening Silence and Political Expediency

It has now been more than 60 hours since the forum organized by the Bar Council was disrupted by a bunch of extremists. One of the leaders happened to be a PKR MP, Zulkifli Nordin who threatened to storm the Bar Council building if the forum continue to carry on.

60 hours and not a single reaction from our PM in-waiting other than a statement by PKR's deputy president that he agreed with de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim’s view that the dialogue session should have been organised behind closed doors “in view of the sensitive reactions and wrong perception among a section of the Malay-Muslim population”.

I thought only Pak Lah knows how to remain silent.

For the sake of political expediency, courage fails our PM in-waiting.

It's also reported in Malaysiakini that Penang CM Lim Guan Eng said;

"We should understand the pain and suffering of a Malay Muslim family if their child whom they had so lovingly brought up as a Muslim, suddenly converts out of Islam and becomes a non-Muslim, as they say, "like cutting out one's own flesh".

Mr. CM, will you also understand the pain and suffering of families whose bodies of loved ones were forcibly snatched away by Islamic authorities? Will you also understand the grief of a mother whose right over her own child were taken away from her?

Well, I guess I understand Mr. CM. It's has to do with the coming by-election in Permatang Pauh, right? You just want to be politically correct. If the by-election were to be held in PJ Utara, I guess you will ask us to understand the pain and suffering of non Muslims families.
