Anger Management
I am one of those people who are exceedingly upset at how a young man can die in custody. One of those who demand an explanation, an inquiry into the situation, a proper answer from the authorities that be, a sincere and at least, some kind of remorseful response from the people at MACC (btw, did you see the way that MACC person spoke during the press conference? – dah sampai ada orang mati terjun bangunan dah, masih nak lagak sombong).
So let me be very clear on this: I am appalled and extremely saddened by this tragedy, and each time I write about how stupid our government is, I openly state that do not support the current powers that be.
…
However, today I think some people in the PR governments and administration have to really do some anger management training lor. Especially this very senior veteran who has so many fans since the recent years, Sdr @limkitsiang (Twitter handle necessary because his tweets are getting exceedingly childish and insensitive).
If you're on Twitter, and you follow some politicians like @khairyj and @limkitsiang, you'll start to have a sense of proximity to these activists, and you start to gain some sense of respect (and disrespect) and admiration for whatever they're doing. Since the TBH tragedy, and especially during the whole funeral procession however, @limkitsiang is annoying as hell, because, I can't, for the love of God, accept and respect a grandfather with decades of experience in the political rubbish that defines Malaysia who keeps on tweeting every freaking two minutes during the poor man's funeral.
Examples in point:
Anwar arrives w PKR leaders 2pay last respectsabout 1 hour ago from mobile web
Have 2hold back tears in DAP cec last respectsabout 1 hour ago from mobile web
PASVice president n MP Sallehuddin arrives last respect on behalf of PAS leadershipabout 1 hour ago from mobile web
Relatives n friends massed in front of cortege paying last respectsabout 1 hour ago from mobile web
Over thousand people in tears or redeyed over dastardly tragedy which shld not have happenedabout 2 hours ago from mobile web
There's this thing I have to say: if you can't hold back the tears, then let them flow. Don't lah find time to click your mobile phone and start talking about how sad you are. It's a funeral, and you're supposed to be there to be reflective, and pay YOUR RESPECTS. We're already rallied behind you. Don't push it. (If its the Pol Sec doing it, then its time to grow up and be smart about your releases.)
