Muhyiddin is right, BN IS UNFORGIVABLE!

What is expected of leaders who walk the campaign routes? Set principled examples through your words and deeds. Right?

Wrong!!!

It is reported (by BERNAMA, so it must be the truth), that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on his rounds campaigning in Bukit Gambir – Ledang, Johor told the rakyat that there is “no forgiveness in elections”.

He was alluding to the unprecedented numbers of UMNO members who walked out in protest against UMNO and registered to stand as Independents in GE-13.

Muhyiddin's mafia mindset

There are two serious concerns here to what this chieftain said. One, what are we preaching to our young minds. In the first place what do all our religions teach us? So just because a member of your political party differs in his or her opinion with you and leaves to contest on an independent ticket, you encourage others to not forgive them.

What kind of human values and spiritual orientation do we have?

The other concern is there seems to be a serious contradiction here. When someone leaves the opposition block, UMNO/BN rolls out the red carpet to the renegade politician. In some instance – as in a recent account, even the police are roped in to give protection. He or she is made out to be a celebrity of sorts too.

Now if you put two and two together, it is no wonder that there are so many bombs going off ‘di sana sini’. What do you expect when our leaders are preaching hatred. What do you expect but mob mindsets and mat rempit attacks.

Forgiveness only for the select

Just take that a little further for arguments sake at least. So, if there is “no forgiveness” in elections, then how about the mistake by the EC? The mess up with the indelible ink disappearance for example – should it also not be regarded as unforgiveable?

Or how about the seditious slanders spewed out by PERKASA heads and their militant vanguard Tun Dr. Mahathir – that are racist and full of religious hatred? We should not be forgiving them right, Tan Sri MY?

My! My! My! And on that same premise, should we also show you that we will not be forgiving you for all that you spewed out of your vile lips – pitting even your own kind against one another? What more considering how you have divided the rest of us 29 million people in this elections.

Now please do not blame us for thinking like this. You are our teacher. You taught us that there is "no forgiveness in elections".

'Gua tolong saya, saya tolong gua'

Politics is not dirty. It is the corrupt minds and soiled hearts that give politics an ugly label. Wonder how come all the learned, wise and seemingly value-centered members of UMNO/BN do not seem to hear, see and speak out in defense of the universal truths enshrined and championed by God fearing men and women all over the world.

Is there anyone within the walls of UMNO/BN who can speak up please. Why are you preaching hatred even against your own kind? Where is your boss’ campaign song, “You love me, I love you”?

So can you blame the rakyat for leaving you by the tens of thousands, every day, every week, all across the nation and wanting so much to openly show their support for the opposition ceramahs?

Thank God, at least the prime-minister-in-waiting DSAI said it more honorably: “I may not forget, but I have forgiven”. Therein lies the distinction between a true leader and a fake.
