Adding Salt To The Cow’s Wound

Just rub it in!

Yesterday 4 Sept, Khir Toyo, Opposition Leader of the Selangor State Assembly, had this to say about the Cow Head incident in Shah Alam – link.

This is deliberately adding salt to an already deeply sored situation. What more than to add "more" salt by calling a sacred icon – "stupid". And he further said, "the protesters had no intentions of belittling the Hindu religion which considers the cow to be sacred." I'm just curious to know, how does he know what were the 'intentions' of the cow-head marchers when he wasnt part of the march. He must have got very powerful mind-reading software to ascertain the deeply seated intentions of the Section 23 residents.

And to add insult to the situation, Azmir Md Zain, one of the marchers who brought along the cow-head, is an Umno member.

So if your mathematics is sound, and when you put "one and one" together, you would have (1) the former Menteri Besar morally supporting  the march as uncontroversial = (2) Azmir is noted as one of the persons who brought the Cow Head = (3) Azmir is an Umno member = (4) No Umno leaders thus far, have come out to distance themselves from the ruckus = (5) Umno has indirectly sanctioned the march.

When a 'wrong' is a wrong, no amount of explaning can do away with the wrong. And when a 'stupid' person says something that sounds 'smart', that doesnt mean that the person is not stupid anymore!

I thought all the leaders were there to lend a ear, not to add more insult. Were you there to listen or were you there to say more rubbish? Let the "mess" settle and its time to gather feedback and think of solutions.
