President Nathan: Don’t point finger at Malay-Muslim community over Mas Selamat case
November 25th, 2010 | Author: Editorial

President S R Nathan

President S R Nathan has urged Singaporeans not to point finger at the Malay-Muslim community over news that Mas Selamat’s escape was aided by the latter’s relatives.

He said the country had done the best it could to be on the lookout for the fugitive, but the exhortations fell on deaf ears in one instance.

He said: “It is an isolated case of one individual, of one family, doing something that is contrary to the interest of the rest of us. So all I hope is that we will not point a finger at the community, that we will take it in isolation and measure it on that basis.”

The President was speaking to reporters at the end of his state visit to Bahrain.

Nobody really knows Mas Selamat .
Yet the police and media suddenly dangle him
in front of the media expecting a reaction
to the situation .

 

[GoldenDragon]

No solid objective. Just saying something the whole world is familiar with to justify his salary.

The objective is not being objective.

Sinkie peasants stop being rude to your president. :oIo:

 

[mscitw]

Do not forget that Prataman has unnatural links with the Jap Kempeitai during WWII. He is indeed a traitor. The regime knows of his past and sent him to 大日本帝国 to curry favour and analyse how the japs kicked the one party LDP out of power.

It's call diversion. He is trying to distract citizen from blaming the government/ police for their incompetence by saying that citizens are blaming the Malay community.

By saying so, the different community will be busy defending themselves against this accusation and not asking why we have such incompetent leaders that decides to comb the forest than looking at the obvious - another case of "minimum salary is an easy solution, we want to try to do some more complicated (and fail but hey, it's the people's money and problem).

Trying to be relevant? A bit late in the day when all the sheep is in the pen, and he suddenly woke up from deep slumber after the hullabaloo died down.

Well, better late than never.

Exactly what purpose does his statement serve?

If MSK's relatives did not care for him, then I worry. Anybody in MSK situation will have the sympathy and help of hs kins. Nobody ever thought that race figured in his case. The PAP and now this stooge is wilfully stirring up racial prejudices and creating a slant where no such preconception existed.

Only the PAP and its running dogs will spread such unhealthy slurs just so to scare the other races into contuinue leaning on the PAP for support.

Shameful and disgraceful and petty gutter party politics.

Breaking wind and making some noise at the same time.

The fact that he had to say it means there is a general disquiet or belief among the general population - especially the non-Muslims and non-Malays. Simple as that.

Otherwise it can be easily dismissed as "it doesn't tally with what our records show", or our findings show it to the contrary, there is no need to comment on speculations or hearsays, etc.

If Mat Selamat ever happens to be a Chinese, the community would have come out to strongly and openly condemn the family - for plotting to kill so many innocent lives. The fact is, there is still this affinity and sympathy to race and religion - makes the gahment hesitate to put a Muslim or Malay as a Air Force or Navy Chief - meritocracy notstanding. Muslims and Malay Singaporeans have to re-examine themselves and their community.

 

[Coolsaint77]

No one is pointing fingers at the Muslim community.

By raising this he is reminding people to put some blame on the Muslim community, at the same time trying to show his magnonimity (sorry forgot spelling) in urging people not to blame the Muslim community.

Hypocrite.

Chia Thye Poh was arrested for allegedly giving medical aid to Communist guerillas. Almost every Chinese Middle school student in the 40s -50s was accused of trying to overthrow the govt using violent meansby using commuinist terrorists tactics. The Chinese community came out in strong support instead of abandoning them. Only the half-baked and blurfucks like you would abandon their own brothers.
