Yes, the public comprising the minorities were incensed and was glad that the youth leaders from MCA, Gerakan and MIC were going to bring up the issue with Hishammuddin.

However, the result did not give us satisfaction!

We didn’t get the apology we expected but instead saw 4 fellows linking hands in unity saying all is solved.

No apology, no explanation, no regret, no promise of it not happening again, so what was solved?

Frankly, what Hishammuddin did can be expected and even tolerated to some extent. As they say, let juveniles be juveniles and such antics can be expected of fire-brand UMNO Youth.

What was not expected nor tolerated was the way the other 3 let him off the hook in such an easy manner. 1 meeting and all is solved and the public none the wiser of what transpired behind close doors.

Naturally, we came to our own conclusions which is MCA, Gerakan and MIC will never fight for our rights if its at the expense of their position in power vis-a-vis BN.

We translated our fears into votes at the 12GE.

Mr Lim, you have shown your disgust about this event and I applaud you for it but now I ask you and the party you belong to, what are you going to do about it?

The public is more interested what role Gerakan will play in future to protect our interests or will it just roll over each time it is up against UMNO?
