YOURSAY 'Photos of the anti-DAP protests are everywhere, and still Hisham needs to dig deep? Is he talking to a Year 6 student?'

Dig deep to find anti-DAP culprits, says Hisham

 

Headhunter: Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, you already know who the perpetrators (of the anti-DAP protests) are. Just arrest them for causing rioting and disturbing the peace and then charge them in court. If not, it will never end.

 

Surely Umno is not benefiting from their stupid behaviour? Only fools will think so. Put a stop to it now while it's still not too late. Tell your home minister he's slacking off in his job.

 

Homesick: Dig deep? All their faces, especially the ringleaders, were caught on camera. So why the need to dig deep? I can tell you and the IGP now, one of them appears to work for Malaysian Airlines (MAS) and one is a Penang Umno Youth leader.

 

There you have it. Now go and arrest and charge them.

 

Mr KJ John: Why dig deep; it is obvious for all to see. If the inspector-general of police (IGP) cannot find the culprits and take action, he should resign.

 

Soo Jin Hou: I'll believe you when the culprits are behind bars. But really, you are just paying lip service to prevent your parties and proxies from getting trashed in the by‑elections.

 

Patriot:1 Malay rights group Isma can call the non-Malays pendatangs (outsiders) and penceroboh (intruders), isn't that insulting? The insulted did not destroy public property, did not threaten bodily harm, did not threaten spilling of blood e.t.c. but Isma still claims the Malays are the most tolerant people in the world.

 

Now your DPM and home minister condones mob rule. As a qualified lawyer, what's your take on this? The IGP and the PM are suffering from the ostrich syndrome.

The country is degenerating into lawlessness and internationally, we are becoming a laughingstock when we claim to be a moderate Muslim country.

 

There is no need for deep investigation. All the acts were committed in front of the public and are all over the papers. Let's see how the police are going to handle this.

 

Thana55: Don't dig too long. Enough video footage and pictures are available to zoom in on the culprits. This should be an open and shut case, two weeks maximum. And they (the culprits) should be put in the dock.

 

The trouble with the Malaysian police (PDRM) and Umno is that they will take forever to investigate (unless if opposition members are involved) and the chances are the outcome will be no further action (NFA). So stop the talk and get into action. We want tangible outcomes, not vaporisation like hot air!

 

Swipenter: For starters, how about the VVIP of Umno Baru who defended the mob violence against DAP as a " natural reaction ". There are video recordings of these mobsters, why not ask your IGP to haul them in for a cup of tea to probe and investigate who are the "anti-DAP culprits"?

Obviously our defence minister can't see what is obvious and in front of him.

 

Malaysianlah: Photos of the act are everywhere, and still Hisham needs to dig deep? What kind of nonsense is this? Is he talking to a Year 6 student?

 

Bash: It is not that easy to get to the leaders. Photos only show the foot soldiers. I bet all will go scot-free.

 

Payee AJ: The PDRM dug deep into the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) case, and in the end PKR's Rafizi Ramli was persecuted. Meanwhile former minister (and wife of NFC's boss) Shahrizat Abdul Jalil laughed all the way. She can still advise DAP's Teluk Intan candidate not to be a traitor.

 

In the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal, Rafizi also got it. The real culprits would be laughing. And in this case, I would not be surprised DAP secretary general Lim Guan Eng will take the fall, if not some other Pakatan leader.

 

Alamak: Why have our leaders not learned the painful lesson of missing MAS flight MH370? 

Talk is cheap, it's the pre‑emptive action at the heat of the moment that counts. Now what? Don't let things linger anymore, stop the rot while it is still rotting not when it's rotten.

 

It only takes a handful to start a war, so haul them up and punish them swiftly according to the law.

 

Not Smart: It justifies that with all the sophisticated equipment and expertise, no clues could be found after all the hard digging the deep oceans for MH370. What more does he want now to dig deeper for the culprits, when images had been recorded and published.

 

His comments do not only make the rakyat feel stupid, but makes him more stupid.

 

Coconut Candy: Violent protest? No, there was no violent protest. It was just a "natural reaction" lah.

 

Hearty Malaysian: With Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's tame reaction, the Umno Youth mobs would go rampage further as they deem they are protected.

 

Mat Salleh: This is all nonsense. Umnoputras are really good at 'doublespeak' so don't be surprised these same people are behind all the brouhaha.

 

4Malaysia: Persatuan Hindraf Malaysia chief P Waythamoorthy, Umno Baru members are not living in bandit territory. Umno Baru members ARE the bandits. Prime Minister Najib Razak, Muhyiddin and Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi are all playing the good cop, bad cop roles.

 

They are trying to grow a storm that they, eventually, can't control.

 

Doc: When all this sandiwara plays down, no Umno youths would have been arrested. Umno will come up with a statement that the Umno youths are remorseful for their actions and vowed they will not cause a ruckus again.

 

The police will label this case as a misunderstanding and the case will be wrapped up and will be given the famous "NFA" stamp. But DAP assemblyperson RSN Rayer will be hauled up for sedition for insulting the 'Malays' by calling Umno youths "celaka".

 

Yup! Just at another episode of 'Drama Umno Minggu Ini' (Umno's Weekly Drama).

 

Anonymous_1397711138: Hisham's statement is only to please the voters of Teluk Intan. After the by‑election it will all be forgotten.
