  • Mum and elders used to say dont play with fire and I really wonder why off late such uncalled postings surface every now and than. The respect for one religion is so thin nowadays and some political parties are taking full advantage of such incidents saying that the Chinese nowadays are big headed since PH came in power. Is this really the case?? How we seen comments from the Chinese leaders putting a line that such actions are not acceptable nor tolerate to curb from future happenings?? Every action has its consequences and if such bad faith is unchecked we Malaysian are going to pay a high price for this. In the Sun Yzu Chinese art of war under attack one can bend down to a certain level and bounce back at its fullest.
