SAPA HIPOKRIT

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said Tuesday the PAS government in Kelantan was being hypocritical in seeking to make Malaysia Day on Sept 16 a public holiday because it had once disputed the merging of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak to form Malaysia.
He said the Kelantan PAS government had, in fact, brought the matter to court but the Federal Court dismissed the case on Sept 14 1963."It was fortunate that the court dismissed the case, otherwise Malaysia may not have been formed at all," he said in a statement to Bernama.Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said Monday he agreed with a proposal by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to make Malaysia Day on Sept 16 a public holiday.Ahmad Shabery asked whether declaring the date a public holiday would mean that the Kelantan PAS government's opposition to the efforts of the country's first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra AlHaj (on the formation of Malaysia) could be forgotten just like that.Does it mean that Tunku Abdul Rahman lacked the spirit of Malaysia just because he did not declare a Sept 16 holiday, he asked."Let it not be for just a little attention in the political game that they are prepared to be hypocrite in agreeing to the proposal for a public holiday on Sept 16."Let it not be for just a few points in the political game that they are prepared to forget history and their stand at one time," he said.Ahmad Shabery said he hoped that the issue would not be blown out of proportion and become the basis of a fresh political controversy. <<--- Siapa yang hipokrit.. senang-senang nak tuduh... ini la salah satu sikap yang biasa di tonjolkan oleh Puak-Puak nih... yang sebenarnyer 16hb tu la tarikh Malaysia...
