3 years.... duh....

After all the ruckus and maniacal attitude, all he got was a slap in the wrist which is 3 years suspension.

Malaysiakini's extracts.

"This decision may not be in favour of Umno... They did it anyway because it is for national security," he added.

This must indeed be a big thing. Umno not happy but in order to "appease" the rest, we suspend him for 3 years! May not be the tai-kor but still has the ability to be the puppet master.. no?

Another council member Shahidan Kassim said that no one should stoke racial sensitivities but implicitly questioned if Ahmad had been treated fairly.

"If you want to talk about fairness, why no action was taken against (Chinese pressure group) Suqiu or the person who mocked the national anthem?"

When they do something on their own... they must be really unhappy that they have to question about others. Shahidan, that boy apologize.. you guys do not accept.... your maniac bigot member refuse to apologize... see the difference?

What is worrying is that the cops made remarks as these.

“The recent (racist remarks) issue has been exploited by many irresponsible parties who have used various media including blogs, SMS, and MMS to threaten peace in the country.

“I also warn everyone to stop issuing such statements in the print and electronic media,” Ismail said during a press conference at Bukit Aman police headquarters yesterday.

Vague at best but hey... are they threatening the bloggers who are responsibly commenting on the issue?

And of course being a slap on the wrist, the bigot accepted the punishment.... here. And he insinuated the council's decision to suspend him saying that there are more "creative" ways for him to remain at the helm! What a !@#$#@

He said he could still serve Umno in other ways.

“If the division is smart enough to create a new post, like an adviser, I can become an adviser.

“It does not end there and I can even become executive secretary,” said Ahmad.

And all the good dogs say????

Justice Served. Let me not bore you with their quotes.. you can read them there.

But the issue here is, would restrictions and punishment as theses help in attaining racial harmony? Should it not be better for a system that allows equality to prevail and open forums to allow people to discuss and understand? Rather than to have skewed policies that allow questions to be continually asked and distrust to fester? Is this the correct way to deal with the situation?

But MalaysianJoe thinks, these are merely symptoms of a desperate group of people who would stop at nothing to ensure that their selfish ends are met and these are the people that the majority now should condemn not via demonstrations nor sending them to ISA by a group of people but by the majority of population. These people has to be rejected as a whole if we want to see Malaysia thrive in the face of globalization. We can achieve this if ALL Malaysians come together and say, "We are ONE RACE!" We, Malaysians MUST stand as one in the face of these people and tell them "We are NOT INTERESTED in your kind of politics and polemics!" We should and we must... because we are Malaysians... no longer Umno, MCA, MIC. Maybe its a pipe dream but I do see a slow but visible emergence and I hope for the best for my beloved country.
