I refer to malaysiakini report 'Negarakuku' - what's the big deal?

There is no denying that what Wee Chee Meng had done was wrong and it should not be condoned by any party. But on the other hand, we must understand his feelings which are reflected in his song although albeit a bit out of hand. As a young man in his early 20s, just like any one in this age group, he tends to be rash and irrational and is still learning.

Now, after listening to advice from many quarters, he is brought to his senses and apologised to all offended parties. In spite of that, many politicians are mercilessly clamouring for his pound of flesh.

I personally find the unforgiving attitude of these politicians, particularly ministers, very unbecoming as leaders. Wee has apologised and indirectly asked for forgiveness. Instead of being magnanimous, the leaders find it fit to turn him into a national 'pariah'.

I wonder why these so-called 'leaders' do not follow the example of former student activist Amin Idris who was equally, if not more, furious when he heard Wee's rap. However, in accordance to the teachings of Islam, he forgave Wee after the latter apologised. Amin truly personifies the beauty of Islam.

In trying to press charges against Wee for his rap song, are the principles of fairness and justice being practised? It must be remembered that Umno delegates made many remarks which are regarded as seditious during their last general assembly. Reports had been made to the police.

Have there been any charges against them?

In true spirit of fair play and justice, charge all of them and Wee. I, for one, would support this action. And I am sure the majority of the public would too.
