KAKI BEDAL: Lousy Jealousy Over A Minister’s Mishap

By Kaki Bedal

 

Nobody in their right mind wants to be involved in an accident, even if one is left with only a scratch or two on the body.

But, here’s what is quite amusing and hilarious anyway.

That a minister’s bicycle mishap generates a lot of comments, some using it as an excuse to whack the Minister and the government.

A veteran journalist who is well known for supporting Dr Mahathir Mohamad even come up with a pantun to clobber the minister and the government, generally saying that –

“Compared to others, the minister is lucky to be offered a replacement bicycle and that the incident cause so much unnecessary reaction nationwide.

“That, despite saying that the government prioritize the rakyat, it is actually not so as the so called minister and their ilk who’s been benefiting. Worse, the Ulama has kept quiet.

“The minister(s) and the government are having a good time compared to the Rakyat, at the expense of the country.

Like the three points, those hammering the Minister should look first at themselves and ask whether that petty jealousy is the reason for them to whack the Minister and the government.

I don’t recalled the veteran journalist to even utter a concerned word over the rakyat’s wellbeing whilen Dr Mahathir was Prime Minister.

When Dr Mahathir asked the people to ‘ikat perut’, he or others like him agreed that the rakyat should not be pampered unnecessarily.

Is it not true that during those 22 Pakatan Harapan months, he supported an administration so devoid of compassion about the rakyat’s welfare and appointed cronies to plum jobs in the government?

Guess what?

Accusing and condemning the present government via a minister’s mishap is uncalled for and shocking when Pakatan Harapan record in power was even worse!

This is when one remember a slightly altered saying: ‘mengata dulang paku serpih, mengata orang dia sendiri yang lebih (teruk).’

One last point. Why whack the Ulama?

What has the Ulama done in this matter?

Keeping quiet on the issue also bad?

Guess when you don’t have a good issue to use, letting rip against everybody is the only way to go.

I have only one word as a reaction to these people – LOL.  – BACALAHMALAYSIA.MY
