Judging on the title of my post, I reckon most of us are more than familiar on the video that has been garnering highlights currently. Still for those who are not Malaysians, here's the video to give you a clue on what Malaysians are currently getting updates.
If you have the slightest knowledge on Malaysia politics, you'd know that Teresa Kok, the opposition party is taking a swipe at the current ruling political party.
I find it entertaining up to a point only. Watching it once was more than enough.
Latest update at the moment is that the government is currently investigating this video for seditious or defaming claims.
I find it hard to believe.
Why is the government so engrossed with such a minor prank pulled? Aren't there more serious stuffs to look at?
Plus, looking at other countries, particularly EU countries or the US. Making fun of the government isn't something old. It has been practiced since the very early ages. Until the freedom of speech granted the rights to finally voice out one's though loudly, I don't think that talking behind a country's leader wasn't unheard of.
Sorry to use harsh words, but here is my verdict on the government: They are lost. Totally lost. What is important? What is urgent? What is the right thing to do? What is the right thing to say?
Another issue that shocked me too is the banning of Namewee's Bangalasia. Due to various unacceptable reasons (please gauge them yourselves in the following video), Bangalasia will not be shown in cinemas.
I know criticizing the government can sometimes go overboard, but hey, it's already something a politician should foresee and endure if he or she fails to deliver or to make the lives of the people better.
I'll end it with a Malay idiom which is synonymous to everyone of us: "Siapa yang termakan cili, dia yang rasa pedas"
Literally meaning:" Who ever who's eaten the chilli, he or she will feel the spiciness". Why be bothered by some a cheap swipe and dig if it isn't for real?
