Utusan is playing the 'batu api' game

comments     Published     Updated

YOURSAY Clearly, Utusan Malaysia is pitching Hasan against his own people, hoping that the Malay-Muslims of Selangor will succumb.

Hasan Ali is Selangor's 'saviour', says Utusan

2CTS WORTH: If Hasan Ali can bring the good and the bad together, it will be nothing short of a miracle. Like bringing God to shake hands with the devil! What sort of contract will they agree upon? If it is possible that good and evil can be compromised, then Hell will be obsolete. Hurrah!

Thinking: Selangor must be saved from corrupt and incompetent politicians! If Hasan Ali is Selangor's saviour, divine help is needed to save Selangor.

Alan Goh: Hasan Ali is Selangor's saviour, says Utusan . Ho, ho, ho and this comes from a Selangorian who will vote out this saviour who serves two masters. Utusan Melayu , Malaysians are not bodoh like you perceive, and please don't come out with this cheap stunt that this holiest fella is Selangor's saviour.

maplesyrup: Hasan Ali is Umno's teddy bear!!! So lovely lah...

Bender: Clearly Utusan Malaysia is playing the batu api game, pitching Hasan against his own people and hoping for the Malay-Muslims of Selangor to succumb to their Malay-Muslim sentiment and eventually reject the Pakatan government.

Disgusted: Want to still put him up as candidate for next elections, Pakatan? You will be doomed. He is an Umno mole. If there is a hung state assembly, like in Perak, he will surely katak over to the other side as they may offer him the MB's or deputy MB's post and $$$$$ to go with it, like all the katak got, depending on their importance and value to them.

Beware of Hasan, he is lurking and waiting to fool Pakatan at the right time.

Mayang Emas: Umno wants only the corrupted Malays to unite, PAS is ineligible.

YF: LOL! Is Utusan saying that there are no competent leaders in Umno in Selangor, that only PAS has competent leaders? That only leaders from PAS are able to unite the Malays while Umno cannot? LOL! Thanks, Utusan ! Thanks for proving the point that Umno has downgraded the Malays so much that not a single one of them is able to save the Malays. Only PAS can.

ROFL!: I know Utusan writes nonsense and shoots itself in the foot every time, but this is the best ever.

Hang Babeuf: "Selangor must be saved!" exhorts Zaini (so I read) in his weekly column Cuit . So, the PM says (as he did again when addressing, and playing up to, the Pekida "goon gathering") that nobody may cuit the Malays.

But, through this Zaini Hassan regular column, Utusan asserts and routinely exercises - and even boasts about - the Malay right to cuit anybody whom it feels like annoying, irritating, bad-mouthing, or running down.

Once more, the "level playing field" that the PM's vaunted transformation measures are all about? Well, not really. Level playing fields are fine, so they are to be promoted and encouraged - except in politics, except where they may disadvantage or embarrass the government.

Kaa-Pow: Lompat Si Katak Lompat. Lompat lah tinggi tinggi. Cepat cepat lah Hasan Ali. Bangun pergi Umno...

Malaysian Born: Well, we know that once it is supported by the editors of Utusan Malaysia, it should be ignored as meaningless drivel. Hasan has gone out of his way to stir discontent where level and bipartisan heads are needed. He is clearly trying to make himself some kind of racial-cum-religious hero by championing any religious cause he can cobble together.

With the election coming up and not having a position or support to help his survive in the new reality, Hasan is doing what he thinks he has to in order to survive. Can you imagine Utusan believing that it has the credibility to suggest how unity and stability will be established. Perhaps 30 years ago, when it was a real paper in Singapore, before it became the party propaganda sheet it is now.

blind freddo: Is this the Malaysian equivalent of ‘the kiss of death'?
