DANIEL ASKED: CAN WE FORGIVE THE CPO KHALID?


When Wee Meng Chee, aka Namewee, did a rap on Negaraku, he was investigated under the Sedition Act. Now the case is refered to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for review and see what action should be taken (here).Even the cabinet rejected an apology from the rapper, citing that they were not in the position to forgive him and that “the law would have to take its course”. “The offence was not against the Prime Minister or ministers concerned but against the nation,” said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

“To not prosecute him is not ‘on’ at all because he has committed an offence against the nation and no one, not the Cabinet or political parties, are in the position to forgive him,” he said.

Wee could be charged under the Sedition Act because he had insulted the symbol of the nation, he said (here)

TO BE FORGIVEN WHEN THEY REPENT

When we believe in a loving and forgiving God
We are also duty bound to forgive our fellow human beings
Provided they repent and to their sins with heads nod
Then there'll be hope for their salvation with new welcoming

Satu Analisis Yang Baik- Sepatutnya Bukan Sekarang Tapi 10 Tahun Yang Lalu Dan Praktikalnya????
Terima kasih dan tahniah kepada wartawan ini di atas tulisannya..namun sepatut dan semestinya kesedaran,keperitatinan dan tindakan telah diambil 10 tahun yang lalu.Kita..masyarakat Malaysia yang telah maju dari pelbagai sudut...sepatutnya merangka plan kerja,tindakan dan pengawalan untuk jangka panjang..bukan selepas berlaku sesuatu "malang" baru mahu bertindak. Tidak berkeupayaan kah kita???Apa yang kita tidak cukup untuk berkeupayaan itu!!! Sebagai contoh mudah...kita dihantui oleh masalah dadah,runtuhnya akidah,rendahnya moral,gejala lepak,mat rempit dan minah rempit....dan sebagainya...sepatutnya satu plan keja dan tindakan yang jelas perlu diambil bagi melahirkan "Masyarakat Malaysia bebas dari kepompong tesebut". Antara langkah dan tindakan yang patut dan mesti dilakukan ialah..semaikan dan berikan didikan dari pra-sekolah tentang bahaya,buruk dan hinanya sikap dan sifat-sifat tadi...jadi untuk 10 hingga 20 tahun akan datang kita akan mendapat hasil yang maksimum....yang menghasilkan rakyat,masyarakat dan pemimpin yang bermaruah. Begitu juga dalam soal kemalangan dijalan raya tadi...rangkakan satu plan didik,tindak dan kawalan yang berkesan untuk jangka masa panjang(unit perancang pembangunan,JKR,Polis,JPJ,Puspakom dan seumpamanya - Mereka mesti merangka kerja,bertindak dalam memikirkan jangka masa depan..lima,sepuluh dan berpuluh tahun akan datang) dan jika ini di praktikkan..kita akan lihat..10 tahun akan datang sekurang-kurangnya....Malaysia tidak lagi menjadikan"JALANRAYA SALAH SATU LOKASI UTAMA KEMATIAN RAKYAT" . Di suasa kini..masyarakat terbanyak melahirkan rasa bimbang kerana dalam banyak kes tindakan dan kawalan dilihat"sekadar tindakan dan kawalan bermusim"hanya untuk menyedapkan hati sahaja tapi praktikalnya "hampeh"...

Bro' Zorro,

I don't know about you. You are always magnanimous in the art of forgiving. Not me. I am not in the mood to forgive those rascals "on orders" who inhumanely charged blindly, banging their chotas on their shields and screaming their bloody lungs out purely to create havoc, and mind you, while the National Anthem was still being sung. There was no warning and a time span giving for those friends of ours to disperse, and ironically, who were not "rioting" in the first place.

I could not forgive them and their 'lying boss' when I saw a Lady friend of ours who was bleeding from a cut on her nose. Not when her youngest son's elbow was bleeding from terrible scratches sustained from a bouganvillea bush in the pandemonium that ensued.

Not when many of our comrades who were running helter-skelter looking very pale, indeed. There was a lot of blood shed by innocent people, that day.

For many of us, that was our first encounter of such violence perpetrated by the very force that was supposed to and bloody paid by us, tax-payers, to Protect, Period.

As far as I am concerned, they can all go to hell. I deliberately did not post anything anywhere, including the Malaysia-Today website where I usually do, because the contents of my postings at the heights of my emotions would have been deleted for violation of posting guidlines, anyway.

Take care, Bro' for you, Bro' Haris and many others are doing just the right thing, under the circumstances. May God Bless and Protect You All, Always.
