COMMENT I honestly believe that the furore over Agriculture and Agro-Based Industries Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's Facebook post earlier this week is not the biggest issue the country has faced this week.

It is far from the real issue. The more telling concern would be if a learned individual writes ‘salt’ on a piece of paper but insists that he was actually talking about ‘pepper’.

More so if the individual is a member of the government. In this case, there is not an individual to single out, but an entire group of people aligned to the government singing the same defence tune.
