PERHAPS POLITICAL GENIUSES ARE GIVEN THIS EXEMPTION.

The warong kopi is taken aback by the uncalled statements hurled by bloggers at LKS when he announced that the DAP CEC did not mandate a PAS MB in Perak.
It seems to me that many bloggers are now all too quick and eager to display their newly found political correctness and probably some are under the delusion that they are the mighty movers and shakers of our changed political map. Perhaps even a few would have felt and equated themselves to be political geniuses.
To these bloggers I say, wake up from your supper ego delusion.
What the “opposition” is today is a cumulation of blood, sweat and tears of the last 30 years. Many bloggers were not even born when LKS was first detained under ISA 39 years ago. If it had not been for this “typical sore senile old man” who stayed the course and fought for all, Malaysian today would most probably be googling "freedom of speech" and not enjoying the speech of freedom in this country of ours.
For all that is worth, LKS eventually did retract his statement and did apologize to the Sultan and the Regent of Perak.
Some bloggers have backtracked from their initial scathing condemnation.
Some have not.
Perhaps political geniuses are given this exemption.

The crisis which developed yesterday over the appointment of a PAS menteri besar in a DAP-led Perak state assembly seemed to have been resolved today.
DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang who rejected the appointment of a PAS candidate today apologised for any offence caused to the Perak royalty over his statement.
“My three-paragraph statement at 7pm last night that the DAP central executive committee emergency meeting on March 9 had not given approval for a PAS mentri besar to head a Perak coalition state government was not made out of disrespect to the Perak sultan and regent, both whom I have always held in the highest regard and I apologise for any offence caused," he said.

The MCA state chief without a state sows disunity amongst the rakyat and insults the royal house of Perak.
If a man of LKS stature can apologize to the Sultan and the Regent of Perak, what more this mouse of a man who hides behind the shadow of his younger brother?

DAP has cheated its voters as a PAS state assemblyman will be sworn in as the Perak mentri besar today, Perak MCA chief Datuk Ong Ka Chuan said.

Ong, who is also the MCA secretary-general, said DAP should apologise to its voters, saying it was sad to hear that Perak PAS secretary Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin will be the mentri besar.

He said Mohammad's appointment went against the wishes of voters, especially non-Muslims.

“Having a mentri besar from PAS creates fear among non-Muslims. This also creates political instability.”

It is indeed not only a new dawn for Malaysia and Perak.

It is also a new dawn for the royal household of Perak.

Long live the Sultan, the regent, their family and his new born son.

The Regent of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah and wife Raja Puan Besar Tuanku Zara Salim were blessed with a prince on Friday.

The royal baby was delivered at around 10am at the Damansara Specialist Hospital near here.

It is learnt that both mother and son are well and healthy.

Sultan Azlan Shah and Tuanku Bainun who were also present arrived at the hospital at about 1.25pm and left after spending approximately an hour there.

Raja Dr Nazrin Shah, 52, the eldest child of Sultan Azlan Shah and Tuanku Bainun, married 35-year-old Tuanku Zara Salim at Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar on May 17 last year.

Zara is the grandniece of first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman.
