THE man who verbally abused a beer promoter at a hypermarket in Kuala Lumpur last week insisted he was not a racist and that he had lashed out at the girl due to misdirected anger from work.
“I’m not a racist. I’m not against the Chinese or anyone. My child attends a Chinese school,” the man, known as Edi Rajang, said in a joint press conference with DAP lawmaker Lim Lip Eng last night.

apologise with conditions ??????? my child attended Chinese school .

Agree. He has more courage than some of our past and present leaders who are not admitting their mistakes. Let him be an inspiration to all UMNO-BN leaders who have yet to admit stealing money from the rakyat. Let him be an inspiration to those responsible for Baling, Memali, May 13, MH370, Double Six, the Sabah Riots, Projek IC and other 'mysterious' incidents in Malaysia. May Edi Rejang inspire them to repent and admit their mistakes. He has apologised. Malaysians should forgive him. I hope there will be reconciliation between him and the salesperson.

Oh yes, one more thing: Who was Prime Minister when the Scorpene contract was signed? Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Will the truth ever come out on this issue? Let us pray that that our leaders be given the gift of repentance by the Almighty, like Edi Rejang.

Sorry means nothing when the full intent of damage is done. You were in right frame of mind when the act was committed. You asked for it.

he is only apologizing out of fear of his own safety and his daughter. In my opinion, he should still be charged and fined.
We will be sending out the wrong message if we let him go with an apology. There so many others like him. Must not forget that !

All these are lame excuses.....he is just a frustrated scumno goon.....cannot accept the current change in regime

You know why this is happening? I'll tell you why. Cos we're still waiting for Pakatan to get serious about applying the rule of law. That is also why the UMNO/PAS/Badar chaps continue to act with impunity, thriving on the frayed edges of racial and religious sentiments.

Whatever your reason maybe Edi Rejang taking on a total stranger to release your anger from work is out of the equation. Your act is unacceptable and put a bad light and shame for Malays at large. Lucky thing you came to your sense and I hope its on your own rather than the critics you received anyway the damaged was done and its an uphill battle for you today's onwards as the critics would not stop any time soon. Be this a good lesson to you and others.

Come on people it is a misstep on his part and he has apologised. I was furious when I saw the clip but this person was wrong to take it out on the poor Carlsberg promoter . Look the girl with 7 A s have to Cari Makan like the rest of us . Move on la people !

We should all take cue from this incident that playing up racial issue is BAD and DANGEROUS for the country. The UMNO and PAS supporters must realise this. Police should take action against these supporters if they step outside the line of racial harmony

The fact that he took a video of his act may suggest a premeditated element and may also weaken his defence of acting out of tired state of mind.
