Of Contradicting Statements/Actions ... Paradox

It's been quite a while since my last posting ...So busy with work. Just a short and brief posting about contradicting statements ... Few weeks ago, the front page of Malay Mail quoted Tun Dr. Mahathir as saying "everybody is racist" ... It's interesting to note that a few days later, the "other half" of MB Perak, Dr. Zambri said "BN is not racist".Luckily, Perkasa does not join the fray lest things would not only full of contradicting statements but would be real "kelam kabut"!!! Then Tun Dr. Dziaddin, former Lord President in his key note address in a Seminar claimed that "the Judiciary was crippled during Tun Dr. Mahathir's era" and this was echoed in support by Nazi Aziz, Minister in the Prime Minister Department. Guess what was Tun Dr. Mahathir's reply? He said "it's a blatant slander" and he carried on by saying the sacking of the former Lord President Tun Saleh Abas was not his doing but that of Almarhum the then Yang DiPertuan Agung!!! So convenient of him to uttered such a statement ... Actually I am not surprise at all ... Who/which political party carried out a 'hatred campaign" against the Institusi Beraja" in Malaysia about 2/3 decades ago ... The mainstream media - electronics and printed - was hit with what I called as "The Monarchy Bashing". The newspapers carried out reports of the alleged lavish lifestyle of the Monarch and the grand "istana", some of them were concocted - in fact one of he so called 'Istana" actually belong to a Chinese Tycoon!!! On TV, every other week would be screened 'Cerita Melayu" depicting the "kezaliman Raja-Raja" or their "idiocy". Films such as "Lancang Kuning", 'Musang Berjanggut", "Hang Tuah", "Nujub Pak Belalang" were screened on TV unashamely .... Above are examples of contradicting statements and contradicting actions which resulted in paradox kind of situation ... What a shame .... Till we meet again ... I parted with a question - "Who not too long ago committed an act of treason when he led a so called procession of "installation" of a "Sultan" in defiance of the current and rightly installed Sultan?
