Palestinians should not be punished for their choice of government. What about Sarawakians?
A member faxes over a Bernama report, “Malaysia to give aid to cash-trapped Palestinian Government”. He questioned why.
He said the government is complaining that it does not have enough fund to support petroleum subsidies and the people are made to pay more for petrol.
He added, “How come the government is not short of fund when giving aid to foreign citizens.”
Well, we did not dealt into the action taken by major Western donors who imposed a freeze on aid to the Palestinian government after Hamas, which the West categorized as a terrorist group won parliamentary elections in January.
What caught my attention was a statement made by our Prime Minister.
He was quoted, “The Palestinian people should not be punished for their choice of government. Their decision (to choose Hamas) should be respected.”
People who make such remarks must “not throw stones when they are living in a glass house”.
Voters who supported Opposition candidates have made their choice but does the BN government respect their choice?
Instead, they are discriminated against and denied their equal rights to development.
Tomorrow, Sarawakians will go to the poll and make their choice.
Can Pak Lah respect their choice?
