Minister Apologises !

It is indeed good to know that there are people who have the decency to apologise when pressured by the demanding "little man-in -the-street"...one such case is a Minister, who was said to have uttered derogatory racial remarks on a dark-skinned Malaysian student of Indian origin, that she was of a 'lower class' as compared to another fairer-skinned student in the same room, to be of a 'higher class', in jest, at a lunch gathering organised by the Malaysian Consulate, last week in LA for about 40 Malaysian students !

Nevertheless, with increasing on-line demands and public out-cry, Jamaludin Jarjis has indeed regretted and apologised for his remarks, to one Ms. Sheena Moorthy ,the student he had offended in LA, a few days later in Boston, at a gathering of a few hundred Malaysian students(read Rocky's take here). For this JJ,... I say syabas !...although the damage has been done, and that's my view.

Well, just as we all know what it takes for a man to talk "macho", is sure takes a "real" man to admit to his mistakes and publicly offer his apology.....hmmmmm now.....closer to home...about those 'mistruths' that we read in the papers ( here ) and controlled by the powers that be....... I wonder when we can actually see the real man in Kalimullah ......sigh !
