VOXPOP 'The fact that they have to hire thugs to keep people out suggests that some hanky panky is being carried out inside.'

Group attacked while probing citizenship scam

Ferdtan: This is the second time such an incident had happened - busloads of foreigners supposedly given citizenships illegally. It seems that this time the police were not present.

They were embarrassed the last time when they could not explain the reason why so many foreigners were at the resort. The best excuse they could come up with was that they were attending a business course.

Now they varied the modus operandi by 'outsourcing' the protection of the 'IC fraud' to hired hands who are gangsters. Even if reports were made to the police, what do you expect will happen?

Mohd Said: The fact that they have to hire thugs to keep people out suggests that some hanky panky is being carried out inside. Who has ever heard of a resort chasing people away?

1Malay-sia-sia: These traitors are very dumb or very brave to continue this illegal business after the recent exposures. Dumb because they do not know how to read the news or brave because they have the backing and support of the 'authority' in very high places of our government.

Either way, this must be stopped at all cost. Maybe the royalty should say something in this treacherous act instead of maintaining their 'dignified' silence as usual.

SKS: Is this not treason as far as the royals and our big brother, Perkasa, are concerned. The country is being sold to foreigners and nobody cares.

Bender: I don't see Perkasa or any so-called Malay rights warriors/heroes (including that cowardly individual who sent a bullet to Abdul Aziz Bari's mailbox) getting excited over this clear act of treason.

Sure, Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali would say that this is just an entrepreneurial course, so there is no need to get excited. But then again, the fact that the ‘pendatang' (foreigners) are given such treatment instead of the Malays (entrepreneurial course with police escorts? wow!), should at least worry Ibrahim.

Why did they give such course to the pendatang, not the Malays? After all, it is the Malays who deserve everything, right? Unless of course, it was the Malays themselves (read: Umno) who are behind all this.

What about the sultans, don't they consider this treason?

Hope: This is more sensationalism but no substance. The usual PKR/PAS fare, and all this coming before the general election. What a bunch of deadbeats, coming up with such stale news and what is even more frightening is they want to be our new leaders.

Multi Racial : If they are not doing anything illegal why are they doing it so secretly? Any company conducting training in hotels or other public places will not do it so discreetly.

The police and home minister should explain themselves. I agree that this is treason. Those responsible should be charged immediately. Why are the police not acting on this?

Lexicon: To those ‘samseng' protecting their Umno bosses - think about this: Umno may lose in the next election because Malays and non-Malays alike are angry about this cheating. Then where will you be?

If you're sentenced to jail, do you think your Umno bosses will speak up for you? See what happened to former Selangor MB Mohd Khir Toyo.

Anonymous: These newly-recruited instant bumiputeras, their children and their children's children will be the competitors to the real bumiputeras.

 
 

DontPlayGod: What's wrong with allowing an Israeli into our country? After all, we are not at war with Israel, or are we? Even Israel has diplomatic relations with some of the Arab countries in West Asia.

Hope: He was a boxer for crying out loud, not a soldier, terrorist or a mischief maker. It's about time our politicians stop taking action against nationals because their governments have bad policies.

That is what we call freedom. Malaysia is one, if not the only country, that has this policy, and PAS is really into it.

Ally Meme: How narrow-minded. If all politicians will just butt out of sports, the world will be a better place. Politics have no place in sports.

Mohd Said: Sports and politics should not mix.

Lover Boy: I hope with this the BN will be changing its policy and sign a diplomatic treaty with Israel. Look, this man came into Malaysia as an athlete and if you look at the Olympic Charter, political, religious or racial issues are not to be considered.

What is the big deal, that ring that Rosmah Mansor imported was from a Jewish company. What about the public relations firm Apco, is that not a company with Jewish directors?

Anonymous: What if the World Cup was held in Malaysia and Israel had qualified for it? Are we going to protest that too?

My good man, refrain from bringing up such silly issues in the future - leave such issues to people like Kulim-Bandar Baharu MP Zulkifli Nordin and Ibrahim Ali as they are confirmed morons.

Free & Fair Election: There are many Arabs who live in Israel and many Israelis who live in Arab nations. Please PAS, don't be so petty and racist. Leave sports out of this. In the spirit of sports, let peace and goodwill prevail.

D4f: You all have got it wrong. I do not think PAS has overdone it. It is the government of the day - they broke the law.

If they can allow an Israeli to carry the flag into Malaysia, why can't they do it openly and explain that the exception was made in respect to sport?

And why can't they allow Communist Party of Malaya leader Chin Peng return to spend his twilight years in the country where he was born?

Pity Him: For crying out loud, isn't it our darn government who is paranoid over this issue and the travel ban on Israel is still in effect? Don't attack PAS as they are just stating a point.

Antigst: In this case, PAS is not anti-Jew, just that the Malaysian government, especially the home minister, bends the law as and when he chooses.

Please don't confuse the issue. PAS is not against an Israeli coming into the country. They are just questioning the way the law is being carried out.

Hope : Two years ago, Chelsea football club wanted to play here, but they had an Israeli coach and an Israeli player, and PAS was demanding that they be banned.

We should condemn this unnecessary rule, and condemn both parties, or all parties, for agreeing to this.

Kadaram: Sorry, can anybody can explain to me why the Israeli people are not allowed into Malaysia? Are they an alien species?
