YOURSAY 'Why must we look at everything through a race lens? Grow up!'

'Justice Bao posters taint Malay judges'

Commentable: Institut Kajian ArusBaru Malaysia's analyst on history and the Federal Constitution Zul Fahmi Bahrudin, go calm down. See, even you know the significance of Justice Bao and what it stands for!

Any man or woman of any race can be a 'Justice Bao', whether Malay, Chinese, Indian or lain-lain. What matters is the connotation of 'Justice Bao' and, as you have said, it is a symbol of justice.

And why not just let it remain only to mean that? Reading anything more to it is akin to making a mountain out of a molehill.

P Dev Anand Pillai: With such 'analysts' around, it is no wonder that the current state of programmes and commentaries on the state-controlled media is so lousy. Justice Bao would have given a better judgment as compared to the current state of affairs of our 'self-claimed' independent judiciary.

It is not about the glorifying of race, it is more of whether we can ever trust the judges of this country to right the wrongs that happen to the system and society.

MinahBulat: Justice Bao is known not only in China but throughout the world as a judge that will carry out justice without fear or favour and irrespective, whether you are an emperor’s son-in-law or not.

The poster says it all. He represents the spirit of the rakyat and that the rakyat is the hakim negara. If you think this is an insult to the Malays, you are playing the racist card.

If you are saying that the rakyat disagree with the five ethnic Malay judges, that is indeed the point the rakyat wants to drive it into thick skulls. Get it? Justice Bao does not care about your race, colour, creed or religion, Justice is Justice!

Kit P: What kind of drugs is this kangkung academician on? No reference was made anywhere made to any race or person. These were ordinary citizens exercising their right to demand for a free and just verdict.

Otakechik: Don't look everything through race lenses. Just because he happened to be a Chinese, you hantam the race issue into it. Yes, there are other personalities who stood up for justice but he could be less well-known to many, unlike the dark-faced justice, so we'll know he represents fairness and justice.

60's 1Malaysia: Zul, if someone were to carry Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah posters, I will not say what you have said. It's a simple gesture or symbol for justice. Why must we look at every normal thing through a race lens? Grow up!

R1: Doctor, please give this man a steroid and antihistamine stat. He is having hypersensitivity reaction to a picture right now. Hurry, before he gives me brain cancer.

I Wondser?: Idiot, stop playing racist card! It is definitely an insult to those corrupt judges, including some Malay judges. But not the majority of the judges. They are the black sheep who happened to be holding high positions. They can deny but the rakyat are not blind.

Dikaios: Justice Bao is playing on RTM2. You need to watch to see to what extent he goes to get justice for the victims. Of course, those who watch the series will instinctively think of Justice Bao in times like this. Please do not read race and insults into any and everything. What kind of academician are you if you are unable to see things objectively?

JD Lovrenciear: Our inspector-general of police (IGP) should arrest this so-called analyst. He is making a serious allegation that can be deemed seditious because it is targeted at stirring up public unrest. Yes or no, dear IGP? Please tweet quickly on this, too.

Baiyuensheng: In a way, this brings up the good in Zul Fahmi as he suggested, "There are also similar figures who symbolise fairness and transparency in Malay history, for example Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah."

At least he also finds the judges in the trial are not fair and just. Good riddance, as this Perkasa/Isma/Pekida dude is beginning to see the lights. You rarely see them speak fair and just in any of their tirades. Allah works in a mysterious way.

The Chinese nation was one of the most corrupt and as such the people in it learnt lessons on how corruption can bring down a dynasty and a nation, and therefore Justice Bao reminds them of that, and of history and the ongoing journey. What has that got to do with race? Everything has to be concluded with race, is it?

Wcco: Comparably, even today’s Chinese judiciary and the executive is quite a thing that leaders from the military, businesses and even princeling politicians who've been found guilty are being hauled up and hit with death sentences and long jail terms. Quite unlike the princelings and the cronies in Malaysia who're untouchable.

SRMan: No one is surprised when such garbage is spewed out from Isma or in Ismaweb. These bigots are hyper-sensitive and see everything from a racial angle. No wonder this group and the other one have been described as "clearly having low standards, poorly educated, intellectually challenged, incapable of seeing their own racism, intolerant, blindly obedient and are destroying the fabric of our country’s society.”

Apapunboleh: Inferiority complex people always have strange behaviour.

Anonymous #59082512: Here comes another racial sandiwara concerted by Umno to divert focus from the main issue, the judiciary’s integrity has been sodomised!

Caripasal: Comparing Bao and those judges? Please do not make me laugh.

Spinnot: Anwar Ibrahim's supporters carried the posters of one ancient Chinese judge and a stupid fellow concluded that it was meant to "glorify the Chinese race"!

Odin: So, if you are saying that Rolls-Royce cars are the best in the world, you mean to say that the British are the best race of people in the world and all the other races are inferior? Such logic can only come from irredeemably retarded morons.

SteveOh: If you suffer from paranoia then everything seems like a taint on you. The Malays carrying the placards (shown in the photos) don't seem particularly bothered. No need to guess why.

Rupert16: With the kind of judgment in Anwar's case, even a donkey can do better, let alone Justice Bao.

Louis: A portrait of an old man in Ipoh is seen as Chin Peng. A portrait of Justice Bao is seen as demeaning to Malays. What is next?
