YOURSAY 'Increasingly we see victims become offenders - remember the journalist was once incarcerated under the ISA for her ‘own protection'?'

'Insane, irresponsible to fault parents over shower canteen'

Fair and Just: MIC Youth secretary C Sivarraajh said that it was "puzzling and disappointing" that the Sedition Act could be used to threaten parents who merely acted to protect the well-being of their children in the shower room canteen issue.

Sivarraajh, thank you for your forthright response, and hope you will pursue the matter until justice is done. Increasingly we see victims become offenders - remember the journalist was once incarcerated under the ISA for her ‘own protection'?

For the loud-mouthed goons, the call for action against the victim is doing what comes naturally.

Stewoolf: The more they defended the headmaster of SK Pristana, the more unpleasant truths have come out. These facts shame rakyat of all faiths, ethnicities and political affiliations.

Only those who are blindsided by deep prejudices scream and kick like a six-year-old, and politicians who are desperate to garner political capital in using this issue have no shame.

Anonymous #40538199: Sivarraajh, I am glad you have come to your senses. Just don't associate further with people who are "insane and irresponsible" otherwise you will find more that is "puzzling and disappointing".

Subang Jaya : MIC, are you with the right camp? Your allocation of seats will be reduced for the next GE. Did you get permission to speak against Umno, or is this ‘Drama Minggu Ini'?

Odin: Sivarraajh, we only get to hear from people like you, Vell Paari and your treasurer criticising the wrongdoings of Umno; but your rantings and ravings are of no use. They have zero effect.

Your president, G Palanivel, should say and do the appropriate thing. Where is he? Why has he been quiet?

Is he the president of a political party that is supposed to be looking after the welfare of the Indian community or one that only seeks to feather the nests of those in the top echelons.

Pisasu 7: A country is judged by how it treats its minorities - most headmasters are Umno stooges anyway.

This particular headmaster is a chronic liar, and as for MCA and MIC, they should follow deputy education minister II P Kamalanathan to kiss Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin's hand next time.

Holden: Sivarraajh, MIC and MCA, we can see that you all have a good command of descriptive words to describe the situation of the shower room fiasco, however, the public is tired of your rhetoric and want to know what concrete actions you will take to ensure that this sort of incidents, along with the accompanying lies and spin that follow such incidents, will not happen again.

Your outrage is completely pointless if it is for the benefit of the media and to impress on the minorities that you are the champions of their communities. Let's see some actual work from you.

For one thing, clarify the date when the shower room was used. As you have pointed out, if there is confusion in the dates, interview parents and students and then interview the school administration. Tell us some facts.

Bumiasli: No more discussions please. The headmaster must apologise or be punished for harassment or child abuse.

Anonymous #58458950: Thank you MIC for being vocal about this and for speaking up. A wrong is a wrong and enough is enough.

In the past, canteen operators sold meals during puasa period as there were non-Muslims in the school and they needed to eat. That is their right.

The Muslim students can always stay back in class or stay away from the canteen area if they don't want to be tempted. To resist temptation under such circumstances would make their fasting even more meaningful.

2zzzxxx: Umno's general assembly is just around the corner so the Umno leaders are twisting the issue for political gains.

Hang Tuah PJ : Sivarraajh, didn't you know that it is seditious to pin point the wrongdoings of a bumiputera?

Tiger: This country is slowly going to the dogs. Unless we get rid of BN, Malaysia will be the ‘Zimbabwe of Asia' soon.

What a joke, trying to pin the blame on the parent over thie issue. Only in Bolehland, s**t like this can happen. The whole world are probably laughing at these Umno leaders now.

SusahKes: I will only be impressed the day MIC actually stops being lorded over by Umno. Up until now, it all looks and feels the same.

Buat bising sikit (make a little noise), then run back to daddy Umno for the crumbs.
