Between Right and Wrong

Nazri said he believed the decision by High Court judge Datuk Lau Bee Lan was wrong "because she should not be deciding on whether the word can be used or not because the home minister has the power under the Act to order the ban in Herald".

"She said the minister did not produce enough evidence... how could you produce enough evidence when the order is preventive in nature? You cannot wait until churches are burnt and lives are lost then only you want to make an order.

"I personally say that the judge was wrong. For example, the stepping on the cow head incident... I have not done anything wrong under the law for stepping on a cow's head but because 7% of the population are Hindus, we must respect their sensitivity, that was why the (people allegedly involved) were charged under the Sediction Act even though it is not wrong to step on a cow's head.

"So don't tell me that you cannot consider the sensitivity of the Muslims?"

OK, you are right, but just half right.

Nothing wrong stepping on a cow's head if it is not Hindu-related. Ask yourself, Mr. Nazri, what's triggered the demonstration? Let me tell you, it was the relocation of a Hindu temple.

Today, if a cattleman let his cows scattered around and shit everywhere in a village; the villagers step on a cow’s head to spread their anger, then the Hindus will not feel offensive because it will not be a religious matter.

If you talk about sensitivity, how about slaughtering a cow by the road side during Hari Raya Haji? Don't tell me that you cannot consider the sensitivity of the Hindus?!

So, shut up and think before you speak!!!
