Look at the rudeness and how impudent the chairman of DAP Perak is who once again made a statement without logic and even clearly seen as racially mixed and could lead to an incitement.
Nga’s chain of views, attacks and even criticism of Perikatan Nasional are just theories and personal views and it deviates from the truth.
His accusation that voting for Perikatan Nasional will cause the country to be governed like the Taliban government in Afghanistan is a very serious and extreme accusation.
It is not wrong that an issue that is voiced openly is to get an explanation but are we sure that every word used in sketching a question is not influenced by emotions or a hidden agenda all together?
Nga Kor Ming’s statement clearly hurt the feelings of the Malays and Muslims, as if depicting the administration under Islam will be based on “barbaric law” and oppress the people if that is the understanding he wants to highlight regarding this issue.
Here it can be seen how dangerous it is when a leader speaks without logical arguments.
Because every leader has its roots, and every statement made by the leader is capable of gaining blind support regardless of the validity factor or the truth in the information conveyed.
Many parties overlook the fact that this country is a country based on constitutional democracy and every citizen has the right to voice their opinions and views, but it does not mean that every view or opinion needs to be embroidered with racism.
In voicing your opinion, especially those of you who hold a position in politics, you should be more sensitive to the logic of the mind and not based solely on the heart and tongue.
Nga should be careful with his mouth and should not stuff information into the ears of the people with blind emotions.
A glimpse of memory from the literary masterpiece Usman Awang,
“ watak melayu menolak permusuhan,
setia dan sabar tiada sempadan,
tetapi jika marah tak nampak telinga,
musuh dicari ke lubang cacing,
tak dapat tanduk telinga dijinjing,
maruah dan ugama dihina jangan,
hebat amuknya tak kenal lawan ”.
Mahathir Mohd Rais
Information Chief Perikatan Nasional WP
