Arrogance

Our public officials are getting more and more arrogant and self-centred these days. Recently, one deputy minister in charge of internal security, said in Parliament that WE, yes WE, the public are partly to be blamed for the increasing incidences of snatch thieves, assaults, mugging and even rape. He implied that WE are the ones who encouraged those criminals to do what they do unto us. It seems that WE are careless and give an opportunity for the criminals to strike. OK we'll consider that reason. The next thing he said was that women are to be blamed for enticing those hoods. Carrying expensive handbags and wearing body hugging and body jiggling clothes. Come on lah mister deputy minister , even makciks and aunties get assaulted. What so sexy about these sweet old ladies ? What's wrong about carrying expensive handbags ? Mister deputy minister, do what you are paid to do. Keep our streets clean and safe from these never-do- goods. Don't blame the public if you can't handle your job. Our very articulate minister of culture and heritage said he could not prevent city officials from bulldozing a certain mansion in the city. He said the building has no historical value, it was only a mansion built by a very rich man. History and arcitectural experts regret that they were not consulted. A prominent Malaysian historian said it is significant to the history of the city. So, mister minister does'nt know much about history or what ? I believe that there is a plan to rewrite our history.
