Evil Prevails when Good Men do Nothing

“All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
  –  Edmund Burke

Do nothing is just what UMNO and Abdullah Badawi did after Ahmad Ismail, UMNO Leader of Bukit Bendera said that the Chinese are immigrants and squatting and therefore can expect the same treatment.  Today, Najib on the other hand apologizes to the Chinese community and said that a meeting will be called to decide the type of action to be taken on Ahmad.  More delay, and the longer they do nothing, the longer evil prevails. 

Zailnol Padzi from UMNO Perak Youth wing said that Ahmad’s comment was not representing the party, and it was Ahmad’s own opinion.  If this is so, why did Najib apologizes for Ahmad? And where is Ahmad? he has made the comment and then fled.  Is “I am Sorry!” so hard to say? His boss has obviously apologizes for him and owns up to the comment.  If Ahmad is not commenting on behalf of UMNO, then why did Najib apologizes for it.  Looks like UMNO is condoning it, they are not taking any immediate action, they want to discuss first.

Is this kind of language and thinking tolerable? Absolutely not, if we allow the seed of hatred to grow, then we shall all perish in our own anger.  Ahmad needs rehabilitation.  He first needs to be strip off his datukship.  Firstly a Datuk is not a racist, and certainly, the Datukship should not represent one.  Secondly, Ahmad needs to be rehabilitated.  He needs not apologize, he is hating the Chinese so much to make such remarks.  He has his reasons, we should all understand his reasons.  Maybe some Chinese guy have done him wrong in the past, maybe it was how the system have poison his mind about the Chinese.  What ever it is, he needs to understand that this is wrong, and this will only leads to he end of him or the all of us. 

So, how long do we have to wait for someone to step up and do something? So far, it is just all talk. 

On this day..
