Okay, since TV3 is the issue

I have received quite a number of 'strong' messages from PKR or Pakatan Rakyat supporters from Australia, the UK, Malaysia, etc., all condemning me for my TV3 interview. One Chinese activist told me that most PKR people believe I have been bought. One Malay lawyer said that Ambiga of BERSIH told him she knows for a fact I have been bought. One Chinese PKR supporter wants to challenge me to a fist-fight in London.

I am being vilified because I gave an interview on TV3. Many who were once my friends have turned on me and accuse me of selling out to the other side.

The fact that what I said on TV3 is no different from what I have been saying for so many years is not the issue. The issue is: I said what I have been saying for so many years on TV3. That is the bone of contention -- TV3.

Have I changed my stance? Did I say anything new on TV3 that I have never said before? Was what I said on TV3 opposite to what I have been saying all these years? Did I do a U-turn and retract what I said in the past?

Many have no issue with what I said on TV3. Their issue is I should not have said it on TV3 -- never mind if what I said is acceptable. They can accept what I said as long as it was not on TV3 -- anywhere else but TV3.

This appears to be the issue. The issue appears to be TV3. Going to TV3 is like a Malaysian Muslim going to Israel. That is a most unpardonable crime and a sin of the highest order.

Okay, I can accept that. The issue is not what I said. The issue is I said it on TV3. And since TV3 is the issue then let us view the following video from TV3.
