OCTOBER 21 — There are some serious questions racing in my mind after the hullabaloo of last week.
My question for the latter group as well as Dr Mahathir is this: Where exactly IS the right place to protest? To me, the exaggerated response from the Universiti of Malaya including lodging a police report and withholding Wong Yan Ke’s certificate is testimony to the great success of the protest.If anyone were to be questioned with regards to their choice of platform, it should be the university's vice-chancellor Datuk Abdul Rahim Hashim’s and his decision to spew racist remarks at the Malay Dignity Congress.
Make a lewd Facebook comment=police report! Dress your schoolchildren up as orangutans=police report! It has become the go-to move for adults who are in the midst of a tantrum and don’t know what other rational moves to take to derail freedom of expression.
