Puzzled DAP flays Hadi over racial riot caution

 Proarte: The pertinent question is what is DAP doing collaborating PAS when its president can make such incendiary, racist and divisive comments which are a total repudiation of basic notions of democracy?

Abdul Hadi Awang has spoken like a true fascist. And Pakatan Rakyat keeps scratching its head why it cannot even come close to getting to Putrajaya.

The answer is that Pakatan is in total disarray and its raison d’etre to bring in good governance, enhancing democratic and human rights, realising a more equitable society is nothing more than a sham when you can have the PAS president attacking DAP in a most shocking manner.

This is open warfare but yet DAP is so keen to keep PAS within Pakatan purely for selfish political calculations.

DAP is not thinking about the future of the country when it can collaborate with such an unprincipled and treacherous party whose president behaves like a fascist and who is doing his damnednest to destroy the coalition and is using the same rhetoric as Umno.

Jiminy Qrikert: Indeed, DAP had better get real. There is no way DAP’s Chinese supporters are going to vote for PAS in GE14 after this May13 threat by Hadi.

The sooner DAP and PKR dump PAS, the sooner Pakatan can focus on preparations for GE14 without having to watch out for Hadi’s treacherous antics.

Many Pakatan Chinese supporters would rather spoil their votes than to cast them for PAS.

Onepen: Hadi is a case of trying to adapt to changes around him but finds it difficult to be among those who want change for the country.

People like him do not fit into the new paradigm – we are all Malaysians first. Until this principle is recognised and accepted by all leaders, we will all be led into the May 13 cave.

We should reject these kinds of leaders and leadership. I am a Malaysian and I love Malaysia.

Fair&Just: Here’s the answer to DAP leader Anthony Loke’s puzzle – Hadi is Umno’s no 1 Trojan horse in Pakatan. Just kick Hadi out of Pakatan before he ruins Pakatan.

World Citizen: May 13 was a day of shame, a national man-made disaster and a failure of the national government. Yet, like Umno, this PAS chief is using it as a tool to threaten the minorities. It is nothing to be proud of.

Cmfoo: Pakatan should just work with PasMa and look beyond Hadi’s PAS.

Like how the country’s non-bumiputeras have moved on and survived in spite of all the oppressive and restrictive policies of the pro-bumi government, let PAS stay behind like those rent-seeking bumis that relied on BN handouts.

Anonymous_1419577444: Loke, the best way to get back at Hadi on this is for DAP to ignore him altogether.

Hadi wants DAP to retaliate and in the process, his PAS supporters will rally around him.

Ignore him and move on to deal with more important issues of the country, like chipping in to help flood victims in Kelantan to rebuild their houses and lives.

Anonymous #05023297: It looks like Hadi’s head is becoming too big for his songkok and the rakyat that voted for him. It is always the power seekers to use religion and race to pull wool over the eyes of many.

Gggg: Umno and PAS have only one agenda. So why bother with elections at all?

Furious MIC man’s fast ends fast

Anonymous_1421406986: Nothing so strange, nothing unexpected. The ‘hunger strike’ drama had to prematurely end with the ‘timely’ intervention of MIC president G Palanivel.

The desire to end the fast sooner was already indicated when G Kumar Aaman claimed that hired hands were out to kill him.

He had already declared that he would fast to death, so what difference would it make if someone decides to end his misery by shooting him. That would have made him an instant hero.

This hunger strike was nothing more than a threat to win support for the president and gain sympathy for secretary-general’s powerful statement of loyalty.

I am “proud” to say that only an Indian can do this and yet get away easily.

WDA: On one end of the scale, we have towering Indians like Arul Kanda Kandasamy and Tony Fernandes, and in the other end, we have people like Kumar Aaman.

How would you rate a leader who has the decision-making skills to choose a specimen such as this as MIC secretary-general?

Dont Just Talk: Day 2 and in true Bollywood drama, the hunger strike is over for Kumar, who swore that he would fast until death for the Indian community.

If these are the type of MIC leaders representing the Indian community, truly it is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Skong: Damn good show. Do have a sequel, please.
